TBA was a club/dance album as prince saw it. i.e nothing like other rnb hits of that year.

if he really wanted to do a proper, intense funk album though, id have made it:

le grind

cindy c

supercali

we can funk (the version with miko. just throwing this in there for the hell of it)

rebirth of the flesh

big tall wall

the ball

rock hard in a funky place

it's just not fair to start a topic, use a video as a demonstration, and then have the readers wonder, did you post anything else in the topic or are we repliers just sitting here verklempt

PRINCE was also great at strarted wonderful stories that would become LEGENDS. I mean tripping on a drug and cancelling an album sounds better than the label hated it or Prince felt the pressure of keeping hits going and knew the BLack ALbum was not what he needed, doesn't sound very sexy and legendary as a story.

Well today is the anniversary of the Black album !!!!

I just feel good about the fact that the message was always "Don't Buy The Black Album" and when I found it I bought it anyway all defiant like and also everything means something different to everybody and there has been no site better suited in drawing attention to that than this one and oh yeah bon jour.
