Prince: Master of the SEDUCTION BALLAD

Really, who else has mastered this form? It's like Prince just heard "Let's Get It On" once and it never ended for him. Although that song is not really even a ballad.

"come

closer

feel

what u been dying 4

don't

be afraid, baby

touch it

it explode

understand

that I love u

and more than that

I want u..."

Seduction ballads by Prince:

Do Me, Baby

International Lover

Electric Intercourse

Scandalous

When 2 R in Love

That's just off the top of my head. Which ones am I missing? What other artists have mastered this form?

Are we tombout Prince or are we tombout the master of the seduction ballad? Cause as far as I'm concerned the ENTIRE I Want You album us nothing but song after song of panty dropping goodness. Now when P can deliver an entire album of songs like that, THEN he's got me. But for now I'll just put InsatiableScandalousElectricIntercourseDoMeBabyLeavingForNewYorkBeautifulOnesAdore in back to back succession on the iPod and I'm good.

Prince esta muerto...

Looks like other artists have been covered. I'd add "The One", "Extraordinary" and "Mellow" to the Prince list though.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.
