Oh please, stop telling complete BS. It s not because one track sold better than an other, it s a better song.
That's on your silly mind an assumption like that. I m even completely bore for years to hear these huge hits.
I was quoting When Doves Cry because it was a hit defining Prince career that everybody knows. This "revelation" About Slow Love doesn't have the same impact as if she claimed she wrote a huge hit such as WDC. Slow Love,
nobody cares. Why? Because it wasn't released on single nor promoted, neither received cult status
such as Sometimes it Snows. When I said " Nobody ", it's obvious I implied " Nobody besides Prince fans", of course. We all could have lived without Slow Love.
Without When Doves Cry or Purple Rain? The org wouldn't have probably existed, and the face of the entertainment world wouldn't be the same. I always thought Slow Love didn't fit the album at all and was particularly ill-placed on the album.
It's like Prince overplaying and overwriting a love song, as if it was a parody. There's one verse in excess,
that song is also boringly too long.
If I were Prince,
I would have put A Place In Heaven instead. [Edited 10/29/21 18:42pm]

If you don't think his version is sexy AF you need to check your pulse.

Her version...not so much. She more warbles than sings.

Exactly.

Prince's version IS sexy as fuck.

Great song.

Fits perfectly on the album, and with the album's pace, imho.

Period.

Maybe she did, never liked the song, always hit skipped on it. Can handle it live on the bootlegs since it was usually truncated, but even then, meh.

From Prince's FAMILY...REAL FAMILY...Doctor Brother of Hipnotik, SteeZO - little brother of hPNtK, and NoTTi(better known as HIPnOtIk)...

PRINCE HAS COPYRIGHT ON THIS SONG! My cousin/brother(what I call him) had a version of it recorded in 1981. Prince worked on it, again, in 1987.

Carole Davis was one of these left side chicks who wanted credit in order for Prince to get a three way with the ladies!!!

Soumds funny and hard to believe BUT....TRUE!
