Don't mean to sound patronising but are you sure it's not The Beautiful Ones from Purple Rain...?

It's an acoustic jam that was recorded in the late '70s. Not a whole lot of lyrics, just Prince playing 3 chords on his guitar.

I thought the same thing when I read the thread title. Well, let's make it a Beautiful Ones thread since paisley2002 already answered the question...


Baby, baby, baby, baby, I want YOU! Yes I DO!

it's a demo, circa '78-'79...p on acoustic geetar...ain't too much to say about it, 'cept it's a short ditty and it's kinna cute.

Kinda like you, right Deja.

Do you mean a full band version.
That's from a purple rain era rehearsal with the Revolution. It's a song from Aretha Franklin and is sometimes mistitled I hurt myself.

In a sense you're both right.

There's a home taping of a demo, a Prince original, titled 'Baby, Baby, Baby' from 78-79 doing the rounds on a bootleg called Studio Nights (highly recommended, since it contains the entire unreleased tracks from that era).

The Purple Rain-era rehearsal of the same title (mistakenly called 'I Hurt Myself' by bootleggers) is a cover version of an Aretha Franklin number from her classic album 'I Never Loved A Man (The Way That I Love You)'.
