Favorite Prince vocal? Mine is Grand Progression I think Grand Progression is my favorite Prince vocal of all time. Close runners-up would be Damn U, Power Fantastic, Condition of the Heart, and Soul Sanctuary. What are yours? "Drop that stereo before I blow your Goddamn nuts off, asshole!"

YES! - Power Fantastic has to be one of my favorite vocal deliveries..But he has so many great ones!
Soul Sancturary is beautiful
Journey 2 The Center Of Your Heart - His version is just so Good!
Sweet Baby
One Nite Alone
Somewhere Here On Earth
I Love U In Me
SO many great ones! It's Button Therapy, Baby! | |

Soul Sanctuary by FAR (gives me goosebumps) followed by It's Gonna Be Lonely with Solo, Do Me Baby, The Holy River, When Doves Cry, and Damn U following | |

I agree with a lot of the songs mentioned here (I love Little Red Corvette!), but it's hard to pick a favorite. There are so many to choose from, and it depends on my mood too.
Do U Lie? -- A mini vocal roller coaster
Darling Nikki -- Didn't really hit me how remarkable Prince's vocals are here until I listened to a certain pop star's version, which sounded flat/one-dimensional.
If I Was Your Girlfriend -- Technically Camille
Shhh -- Mmmm... like butter... | |

I like it when he's losing his voice like on the early version of "Elephants & Flowers" where his voice is lower and rough. My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid

I think from a techincal standpoint TMBGITW showcases his staggering range. It goes from his lowest lows to some truly astounding highs in addition to showcasing his fantastic mutlitracked "Choir of Princes" skill.
For technical skills AND awesome delivery that even non-musicians can appreciate, I'd say Adore is pretty hard to beat. [Edited 7/2/12 14:28pm] | |

The Beautiful Ones - he sings with such raw emotion on this song it makes me tear up at times.
Darling Nikki
Cloreen Bacon Skin - the gravelly screams at the end are amazing
I like his vocal in the early take of 'Tick, Tick Bang'
Do Me Baby
Shh
the list goes on the feeling U get when U fall in love not with a girl or a boy but with the heavens above | |

Vocally, Damn U is probably Prince's best falsetto ever! __________________________________________________

Yep. Too bad it's buried and blurred by 7 metric fucktons of unnecessary reverb, though. | |

sort of like this thread you created "Climb in my fur." | |

I am convinced Prince used his Purple Rain money to record that song out of space. He ordered his own purple ship to record it on some planet called 'Power'.
It's just amazing! As you mentioned..LIVE he changes it up so good and it becomes just the best!
I use to hate 'Nothing Compares 2 U' But in 2009 at Montreux he made me love it! It's Button Therapy, Baby! | |

Hard 2 pick 1 but 1 that sticks out is "Scandalous" The vocal is so intense and dripping with emotion kinda sounds like it's about to crack but doesn't and stays right on that edge sometimes I listen and think the voice may be slightly sped up (higher) and other times i think no it isn't?? I can't quite work it out... | |

Do U Lie and Soul Sanctuary. For some reason his falsetto sounds much clearer on those songs then in anyother Prince recordings I can think of. Plus the medley's and the mood his voice adds to those songs knock them out of the park for me. Easily two of my favorite Prince songs. I actually bought Emancipation for Soul Sanctuary alone then fell in love with a lot of the other songs on it. Purple is the color of my heart,

That song Grand Progession is not one I like a lot , it just doesn't move me. As for my favorite vocals , When 2 R in Love, Soul Sanctuary and Mountains close the deal. Jeux Sans Frontiers | |

Its actually in my top 10 of Prince music. "Climb in my fur." | |

That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.
I need to check out those performances of Nothing Compares 2 U! I really want to love a Prince version of this song. | |

I've just been listening to Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic again.
It's the same version as on the regular Rave Un2 but "I Love You But I Don't Trust You Anymore" is pretty special vocally IMHO. [Edited 7/2/12 4:47am] Just somewhere in the middle,
Not too good and not too bad. | |

Hahaha..I was just like you at one time..I could not stand any version by Prince of 'Nothing Compares 2 U' but the one at Montreux really brings chills down my spine. He sounds as if he voice is going out..AND that is when Prince sounds the best IMO. I love the cracked breathing while singing..it's like when he screams...IT adds so much to the song. It's Button Therapy, Baby! | |
