Manic Monday

All great choices I would agree to, except Yo Mister .

Mine include Cookie Jar, Eternity (Love it), Love thy will be done, Screams of Passion, all of the Jill Jones tracks but particularly All day all night and Baby your a trip.

.

I would love to hear a Prince only version of Get it up and Cool as well. I like most Prince cover versions of protege songs, even Martika's kitchen (That shit is funny), Prince even tries to sound like Martika on that and of course the Prince vocals of A Place in heaven, where he puts his voice on super high falsetto to emulate Lisa.

Open Book or Love Thy Will Be Done.

I'd think I've have a stroke if he ever released his versions of either of them.

How's he gonna sing "sugar walls" himself?

But it's a great production for sure.

I absolutely LOVE the production on that song.

"Sugar Walls" is a great production,indeed.I wished he had given that song to Jill Jones and launched her career in 1985 with it.

"The Screams Of Passion" would have been a perfect duet for Prince with Sheila E.

Noon Rendezvous.

Chocolate?

Firsts that comes to mind are All Day, All Night and Baby You're A Trip.

Love Thy Will Be Done (with killer 1995 guitar solos).

Return To Zenith by Sabotage

The Kid was in a rare form that night.

In the good sense.

- So Strong (My belief is that this song was worked on for Jill Jones, or perhaps Sheena Easton, circa late 1986-early 1987, and/or, perhaps, Bonnie Raitt early-1987, and certain tracks may date back as far as ~1984, perhaps for Apollonia 6, and ultimately given to Dale later in 1987 to record new vocals. Nevertheless, whatever its exact history, it would have been a Billboard Top 10 in 1987, if released as a Prince effort with a suitable vocal. It seems he put quite a bit of effort into it, so the 'guide vocal' may in fact be at that level. Dale also did an admirable job, but her 1988 version had low odds of chart success)

Halfway through the post, I guessed such rich and precise info could only come from imprimis.

Thank you for defending "So Strong" as a major work,
it really is a little pop gem no one seems to care for.

Great choice!!!!

Indeed! I may have to change my choice now

I always thought "The Glamorous Life" was told from a male point of view about a 'gold digger with a heart of gold." Sheila makes it sound like she's talking about herself in the 3rd person. Same with Sex Shooter. Perfect nickname for a dick.

777-9311 is sooo funky and should've been a Prince song.

However, it flows so well after Wild & Loose.

GLAMOROUS LIFE and IF EYE LOVE U TONIGHT.

'The Glamorous Life' was obviously always conceived as a track for an associate artist, which makes it qualitatively different from some of the other suggestions in terms of calculating the very remote probabiity that P might have for a moment considered retaining it for himself. The current guide vocal that is low in the mix isn't at the standard to be a lead, and it probably wouldn't have the Larry Williams sax if it didn't end up a Sheila's album.

Fuck u're right! I'd never realized it was even there (or if I did it was so long ago that I had no recollection of it). Amazing!

he puts that crap "it" or "u got the look" instead of Sex of It???

As said above it was not even recorded at the time.

And It and U Got The Look are crap...

I do not believe it is necessary for you to ever post on the Org again.

Thank you. Good bye.

Well UGTL was clearly added in order to add a strong single to the mix so it's artistic legitimacy may be debated even though it's a strong pop track and it grooves as fuck. As for It, it's probably the most experimental, original and hypnotic track on the whole album, so calling it a filler is as absurdly ridiculous as calling Crystal Ball a filler if the original 3 LP config had been released. Reminds me on that orger a few months back who said CB was too long and editing its intro would have made it a better track There's more to life than 3 minutes verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge/verse/chorus radio-friendly pop songs!

That's my problem with comments such as yours: a total lack of capacity to make a difference between one's own appreciation of a work of art and its objective qualities. Even if I didn't like It I wouldn't make a fool of myself by pretending it isn't brilliant even if it wasn't for me. Such contributions do nothing but lowering the debate and that's y I've been harsh. Nothing personal.
