Most under-appreciated Good song from Controversy
Fav part until the ending is "I strangle Valentino! (repeat) U been mine ever since! (repeat)" this the part he turns around and points to crowd "If anybody ask you (repeat) U belong to PRINCE, oo, Come on baby, Get up!"
Just classic punky awesomeness I tell u! Yes, at 19, I finally saw the Revolution, a legendary band. And I talked to Wendy!!!  In addition to seeing Prince, I have now lived life. Thank you Purple People!! | |

Its ok. One of the least artistic and most pop songs on the Controversy set. Definitely a forerunner to tracks like Sleep Around, Acknowledge Me, and Dance 4 Me. I prefer all these more. | |

Private Joy is a precursor to all of Prince's most famous songs. Prior to this, Prince had not put a scorching solo on a track, much less an onstensibly frothy, lighthearted track. This is the proto-type to songs like Let's Go Crazy, When Doves Cry, ICNTTPOYM, etc. | |

I've always loved, "Private Joy." I Love that little breathing hesitation in the vocals. The song gets ya movin' and it's fun to sing along with. Can we get 2gether

If anybody asks you, you belong to Prince.
We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

A song so good not even LaToya Jackson could destroy it.

He must have been proud of the solo, since he sampled it 13 years later on “Orgasm.”

A GREAT pop song, with a MENTAL guitar solo to finish. An absolute hightlight of a criminally underrated album. We HAVE to celebrate the 30th anniversary of this album as it reverts to Prince's ownership. "Had to get off the boat so I could walk on water..." |

Apart from the political stuff, Controversy is a great and truly underrated album. It usually doesnt get the credit it deserves but having a celebration thread for it this year would be alot of fun | |

Ummmm...it doesn't revert 'til 35 years. But okay. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |
