Opinions on "GOD is Alive " & "Tricky" ?

what's everybody's opinion in these 2 songs ,"GOD is alive" and "Tricky" ? I recently discovered Tricky ,is it Prince of Morris that sings on the song ? and it reminds me a lot of "cloreen bacon skin " As for "GOD is Alive " I've had it for many years but every time I listen to it my spirit is lifted !!! I love the guitar ,the backwards effects,and Mavis staples vocals .Was it intended for the "Lovesexy" album ? opinions please

Sorry, I thought there was a Prince vocal version that leaked or something.

Has the Time's version ever been released digitally?

I thought it was on iTunes, but either I was mistaken or it's been removed.

e

Tricky gives me a hi everytime, wicked

Prince on bass & Synth, Morris on Drums,

that is Morris Day opening with the talk, then Prince takes over

I wonder who is the other person there with them, you can tell there is at least a 3rd laughing near the end.
Tricky = Jerome Benton

Ice Cream Castles B side

God is Alive, I really liked if from first listen, but it goes too long
