The Telepathy video is on YouTube.

Really strange hearing her very twangy country voice on a typical 80s Prince production.

Was it just me, but when it came out, it was so Prince, I thought it could have been him on vocal with a new 'camille' effect?

There was an article on BBC the other day, I forget the topic, that said he was seen playing sax. Personally, I believe Eric. I don't think P ever bothered with learning horns.

I don't remember that one; I'll have to try and find it.

Just listened to it, I thought the sax sounded very Prince-like. I wonder if they sent the tape over to Paisley Park and he had Eric Leeds play on it or something.

He did learn to play sax, I think more when he was younger. It was proabbly one his high school instruments. But according to Candy, he didn't work on it like he did the main instruments into adulthood and stardom. But she listened to some of his recorded sax playing. she said this in an interview I'm sure someone can dig up.

This song actually sounds like a very slowed-down "So Emotional" by Whitney Houston. Both were released in 1987.

And, I'd never really considered that Prince could play any horns. I just figured that she was mistaken in the interview above. But, listening to the song again now, the saxophone is kind of basic and staccato and "stabby"... So, who knows?

You know you're a Prince fanatic when you have a certain Kenny Rogers* CD in your collection.
