damn, nobody likes this song especially since Prince wrote it and Miles made a heavy collaboration on this piece....what's with people not responding to my threads around here? Is it that nobody likes my threads or fellow orgers are against me? my threads never get a lot of action....

To be quite honest with you, I've heard it's because everyone is against you...

and why is that?

Maybe, it's because you're outsideofthebox?

what do you mean by that? am I an outcast or just a strong opinion on things that I post about?

Excellent track. BTW, Prince & Miles did not work on this one together. IIRC, it's a Prince track that he gave to Chaka, and then she brought in Miles to add to the track.

Sticky Wicked is the fifth track on Chaka Khan's eighth solo studio album CK. The track was written, produced and largely performed by Prince, marking his first contribution to studio work by Chaka Khan. In 2011, it was included as the seventh track on the fifth and final disc of the Miles Davis compilation The Warner Years: 1986-1991, due to his appearance on the track.

.

Initial tracking took place on 11 June, 1988 at Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, MN, USA (two days after recording Pink Cashmere, Pickle and an entirely-unrelated instrumental, initially also called Sticky Wicked, but later released by Eric Leeds as Times Squared, and two days before Eric Leeds recorded overdubs for that same instrumental). Eric Leeds and Atlanta Bliss recorded horn overdubs onto the track before it was sent to Chaka Khan (specific recording details for their overdubs are not known). Khan then recorded vocal overdubs in June, 1988 (studio details are not known, although the album credits list multiple locations for the album's recording). She then sent the track to Miles Davis, who recorded trumpet overdubs on 29 June, 1988 at The Hit Factory, New York, NY, USA, New York, NY, USA. It was included as the 33rd track on a 2001 6CD configuration of the Warner Bros. compilation of Miles Davis work titled The Last Word, but the track was not included on the eventual 2-disc 2010 release, titled Perfect Way.

.

This is the only released track to feature both Prince and Miles Davis (the two had previously collaborated on the unreleased track Can I Play With U?, although the collaboration did not take place in the studio, and Prince himself may not have had any input on Davis' trumpet work).

.

.

One of the two tracks not to be produced by Russ Titelman was the funky and improvisational "Sticky Wicked", Khan's first proper collaboration with Prince after having covered his "I Feel for You" in 1984 and turning it into a million-selling hit single. CK also includes a second Prince composition, "Eternity" (produced by David Frank and Khan herself),

1) Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours) 4:45

2) Soul Talkin' 4:16

3) It's My Party 5:11

4) Eternity 4:03

5) Sticky Wicked 6:54

Eric Leeds - saxophone Atlanta Bliss - trumpet Miles Davis - trumpet

6) The End Of A Love Affair 5:10

7) Baby Me 4:04

8) Make It Last 4:47

9) Where Are You Tonite 4:54

10) I'll Be Around 5:20

[Chorus:]
Carmel-coated pseudo happy
Call her sticky wicked
Will she answer agin today or pray that love'll kick it?

Kick it love, see her little baby
Hey girl, she don't remember your name
Kick it love, mama gettin' busy
Got no time 4 games

Sticky wicked
She just got a pair of tickets to the opera in her mind
No applause, no encore if she dies

[Chorus]

Kick it love, visions of her childhood
When her heart was gold
Sticky wicked
Tell me people what reason's good enough 2
Die before U're old? Kick it love, covenants of promise lay before your eyes
Stick wicked will trick U, lick U, then it kicks you aside!

[Chorus]

People crashing in the middle of the day
When U wake up sticky wicked don't go away
Sticky wicked
Pretty stick wicked

(Scenario of a mother who can't remember her daughter's name)
Hey little baby, what's your name?
Oh ain't she cute?
Mama got 2 run today
I don't have time 4 games
No don't worry about me, I'm alright
I'm alright, I'm alright

Carmel-coated pseudo happy
Call her sticky wicked
People crashing in the middle of the day
When U wake up sticky wicked don't go away
If U want it, help is here today
There's a better God, don't U wanna play?

Sticky wicked, love'll kick it
Sticky wicked, love'll kick it

TLM: Miles appears on Prince’s song “Sticky Wicked”, along with Prince Chaka Khan. But I gather the song wasn’t written with Miles in mind.
.
Eric Leeds: When Prince had the track up and Matt Blistan and I did the horn parts I can’t recall Prince making any mention about Miles, although he did say he’d written it for Chaka. Interestingly enough, the title “Sticky Wicked” had been applied to a different song, which was actually the title song of my first album Times Squared. I heard the track and asked Prince if I could work on it for my album and he said yes. And then a couple of weeks later, we were working on this track for Chaka and I asked what the name of it was and he said “Sticky Wicked!” Later on when we were on the road he said “Listen to this.” It was the finished track and Miles was on it. That was the song that got me officially into the Miles Davis discography! It was a much better track and much better utilisation of his horn than on “Can I Play With U?” It was a cool little song.

No they actually and sadly never did an album together

Performed together and what songs they did 'collaborate' on it wasn't in a studio or jam session setting

Prince sent a track and Miles added something

cuz I remember reading an interview with Prince back in 1998 and the reporter asked whats with that album between you and Miles Davis and Prince gave the expression of whistling while rolling his eyes in the air.....I dont know if that is what he did but that is how they printed the interview online......

To the OP: you can read the whole story of Miles and Prince and why this album together never happened here: http://thelastmiles.com/i...-leeds.php

And no, we don't hate you

And yes, Sticky Wicked is a wonderful track. You need to know that Prince and Miles weren't in the studio together, though, Miles only added overdubs afterwards.

Doesn't that sound like one of them crows? eeeeeeehhhh eeeeeehhhhh

I love that.

I think the only thing I really enjoy from this song are the horn lines by Eric Leeds & Atlanta Bliss. But it sounds like a total throw away track IMO.

I dont play the trumpet so it was an honest mistake and there is no reason to scold me over it.

I think it was very appropriate to correct your mistake.

[Edited 8/26/13 6:30am]

well, I dont listen to a lot of Miles Davis so I dont mind anyone correcting me over an honest mistake but to harp on it is something different.

Not scolding, just educating. Playing trumpet doesn't matter. I'd say most orgers don't play ANY instrument and they know. Now you know. That's all I was trying to do. No harm, no beef.
