When Doves Cry is a mutherfocking masterpiece!

Every time I play this cut, this fact washes over me like purple tidal wave. I was watching that VH1 show about the greatest songs eer and Price just kept popping up. Little Red Corvette and Nothing Compers 2 U were included, of course. And while i give no credibility to the producrs of the list, I do ackowledge that they can be right once in a while. The inclusion of When Doves Cry as one of the immortal smashes of all times is undeniable.

People are still talking about a R&b funk song that rocks without a bass line.

I just felt like saying that.

I taped the whole countdown last night and watching it right now...indeed, every time I hear the beginning of When Doves Cry, I still get the chills-- I remembered hearing it for the first time back in the mid-80's (before I was a Prince fan) and I said, "What the heck is that??" I was hooked since!! biggrin

When this song came out, only the college station played it at first. It was SO underground and cool as shit and stuff, and then, poof, it became legendary.

But I remember being one of the cool mfers in the room cuz I knew "dig if u will a picture..."

back in the day, that was just out there.

This may very well be Princes worse song. It needs bass, and a marimba section. No neat f words and stuff. It should have had some rap on it. With birds squaking in the background. Applonia should have sang it instead of P. Tito would have made a better drum loop. Hail Tito

worship to the alter that is Tito.
All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!
