Anything Funky or Bluesy..

A little off subject but have been listening to Johnny 'Guitar' Watson and two songs stand out that Prince would have SLAYED! (Not that Mr. Watson didn't blow the numbers off the meter!)

I Wanna Ta Ta Ya Baby

and

I Got a Real Mother For Ya (This one is cruuuuuuuising music)

Great tunes, thanks for the tip.

You are most welcome! Old skooooooooool music speaks volumes. Latest happy song is "Live it Up Pts 1 and 2" by the Isley Brothers. Extremely underrated musicians. Would have loved to see Prince just jam with them!

Better With Time...

Gold Standard

I've been on a massive Art Official Age thing lately for some reason.

Possibly because it's his most detailed record in a long time?
Headphones reveal all the craft behind the modern sleek surface.
EDM and modern R&B got hacked by Prince, not the other way around.
That's the misunderstanding that seems to linger around this pop gem.
And his lyrics mostly revolve all about accepting or rejecting passing time,
which is a big deal. Try the Deliverance EP right after for a complete spiritual trip.
Prince in coaching mode is the best medecine. Because, because, because, because.

^^^ Yes sir, Amen to this 👏 I 💜 AOA. All of it! 🎶 And Gold Standard is 2 funky.

It took me a while to appreciate this one,
but this song is exciting, this funk is different.

Funny thought. Maybe I'll never listen to the song the same way again.

No, you probably won't I hadn't thought of it either until I had read an old thread topic "Songs For Susannah". Then it really made sense....Suzannah....Fendi = Wendy. Although, he may have embelleshed a bit with the "double team" lyric. I don't see Wendy partaking, but it could have happened once or twice

Prince's(r.i.p.) original version of his produced,written,arranged, & composed "Sister Fate". That slays Sheila E's(whom I just saw this weekend get inducted into the #HollywoodRockWalk of fame by Angela Bassett) version.

If this a musical metaphor, they were indeed a musical trio.
I think we're starting to take "Sister" a little bit too leisurely.

Actually, it was more Prince, Wendy and Lisa who were the musical "trio". I think this song was pretty explicit in its meaning. A sexual metaphor ("to get them in the mood I give them some cherry wine. Then we watch a movie, one of them dirty kind. Then we play some pool, and they watch me bank the 6 and the 9, watch me banik it baby". The last lyric, "if you wanna headline you gotta be all you can be. You got a strong act to follow, and her name is Zannalee", seems to say that it will be hard for another woman to measure up.

Watch the video again - he plays it all out with a set of curly haired twins :

Side Note: Wish I could make out what the girls are looking at on the wall when they first enter the house with Prince. Can't tell what it is - some type of drawing on the wall. Also, seems he filmed this the same day that he did the video for Empty Room - he's wearing the same outfit and it's the same setting with Michael B and Sonny T.
