Has anybody ever heard this song before?!?!!?!?! This song is absoutely amazing!

It's ok, i'm not a big fan of the very early stuff unless it's instrumental.

In saying that, i would not turn down a pristine copy of the song.

i love his early music its very loving and sensual

I love all of his earlier music. This one's a good one, and I believe it's actually a more rare one, too. It's a good track.

It's a decent song. I love listening to the Moonsound and Sound 80 sessions. It's just interesting to see his early work and how he developed.

Great track. Reminiscent of a lot of his earlier work. Probably would have been big for him back then. Taja Sevelle did a good job with it as well.

Yeah, witch version? Prince re-recorded the song several times. One from 1976, 1978 and 1987.

The one from 1978 is the best one.

I love the verison from the 1987 one but I dont think that verison was directly performed by Prince himself. It was one of his proteges at the time that performed the song. But that verison is wonderful and its cute! Idk, which verison with the 1976/78 verison but Im gonna go ahead and assume that its the 1976 verison. lol

No, there is a version where Prince himself singing lead vocals from 1987 version. Its the demo version for the protege.

Well it's easy to tell. The 1976 version is just acoustic guitar and vocals. And the 1978 version is full out music. funky bass line, and keys ect.

Yeah I heard it for the first time last year. When a friend brought it to my attention. It's a great song.

i love that song. i really like his early stuff b4 1999 alot..for you is tied with my other fave cd of his

yeah its ok....i luv Just Another Sucker

Of course ther's such a version, but r u saying it's circulating???

^Of course. It's been out there for ages. Bad quality, though.

Amazing

It means i have it somewhere and that i heard it b4 but i completely 4got about it. Gotta dig in my outtakes files!!!

The early and the '87 are both great, although i hate that have them in such bad sound quality.

I love Taja Sevelle's version too, she has a great voice, probably one of the best of all his prodigys (beside Jill Jones). It's a shame her career didn't take off...love is contagious was always my jam.

Hmmm....yeah, Taja's version is great...her voice and the harder hitting funk bass...although Prince has a sweet falsetto in the earlier versions...

'Love is contagious'...that song just doesn't age...

Rumor has it that Prince offered this track to MJ but he rejected it.

I can't understand why the mofo objected to the song: had he used it there'd be at least a good track on the 'Bad' album.

I heard that too. Probably he rejected it to get back at him from rejecting Bad.

The last 2 posts...hilarious...sound like 2 old grannies knitting.

Michael Jackson, again???

Vitriol will be the death of you one day...lol

I think it was maybe a bit too "naive" for Bad, and that it's the reason why it was rejected (amongst dozens of other MJ songs if the rumors are true). I mean Michael spent his whole career trying to look "bad" (kids friendly but not your average Kenny Rogers if u see what i mean)...

Besides, a duet was one thing, but having P compose a song for MJ? I don't think so: it would have shaken Michael's stature as THE superstar. Madonna did the same: she agreed on a duet but didn't ask him for a song.
