I just saw the video for this on vh1soul for the 1st time never knew it existed

Don't know it either.

You guys are great in how you find new stuff.

It was released about the same time as the single, But got very little air play

Weird, I just pulled out this cd yesterday.. (There's a long version online somewhere)..
This is a great video.. Some really commercially marketable stuff around this time.

Supercute, Underneath the Cream, . When eye lay my hands on you.. Classic Prince (should have released that video. Only a snippet from the music club at the time.

I remember them playing it over the speakers prior to him coming on at the Hit and Run tour in Vegas.

U Make My Sun Shine

"U Make My Sun Shine" and "When Will We B Paid?" were made available as MP3 downloads at NPGonlineLTD on Dec. 21, 2000. A limited run of CD singles containing the 2 tracks were pressed and sold at Brother Jules' record store, Music Emporium, in Minneapolis. A video was also available on NPGMC in February. 2001. A duet with rising R&B star Angie Stone, the High leftover "U make My Sunshine" is an old-school soul ballad. With its call-and-response backing vocals by the girl group Millennia and the stop start structure of the music, it is one of the most overtly gospel-influenced songs Prince has ever written. The song seems to be directly influenced by D'Angelo's "Untitled". Stone sings the second verse and joins Prince on the chorus. The verses are rather meandering building slowly towards the chorus. Owing a passing nod to "The One" on Newpower Soul, the lyrics of "U Make My Sun Shine" is a tender expression of devotion. Prince is trying to convince a woman to leave her man, offering comfort and reassuring her "In this trusted place you can erase every tear that rolled down your weary face." She has been "in the dark much too long" having let "them devils define what it takes to be a woman". The lyric do not specify what she has been through, but it is implied that she is a prostitute, as Prince says, "I could tell you what the 'I' in the pimp stands for."
