Best ballad on Prince (1979)?

When We're Dancing Close And Slow or With You or Still Waiting?

Always cry 4 love, never cry 4 pain.

Eh, It's Gonna Be Lonely.

Kudos to Mac Demarco for covering it this year.

With you is wonderful.

Jill Jones version of it is also good.

When We're Dancing Close and Slow is my fave! It's so delicate and simple.

Admission is easy, just say you believe and come to this place in your heart... <3

This is such a beautiful album... I have to agree with a number of the other posts...for me, it's either
"When were dancing" or "It's gonna be lonely"... so hard to choose btwn the 2...if I had to, it would be "When were dancing"...just amazing!!(seductive yet sweet... just like Prince!!)

Agree with everyone else.. "It's Gonna be Lonely" and "When We're Dancing Close and Slow".

Speaking of the latter, I know Prince was heavily inspired by Joni Mitchell.. There's a line on her Hejira record which has "dancing close and slow" in. I wonder if he was inspired by that.

WWDCAS, With U, Lonely are all 3 CLASSIC Prince ballads. Can't pick one over the other.
