Y'all remember the song Love or Money ? Well apparently, that was the first time Prince came up with the ideal 2 speed his voice up [This message was edited Sat Nov 15 5:54:10 PST 2003 by DigitalLisa]

What about Erotic City 3 years earlier?

I don't know if Erotic City counts,Cuz Prince is mostly singing in a deep voice and when you read the credits, it's credited to Prince not camile.Prince probably had the ideal all along, but I don't think it was until the mid 80's he came up with the Camile legacy.

As we now know, Prince has served many different music genres during his career, but one of my utmost favorite side of Prince is his funk side most definitely. Now when you go back and look at the forefathers of funk, you have James Brown, George Clinton and Sly Stone, it's very rare that you ever hear Prince mention with the above, but 2day I'm going to place Prince apart of that music history... (pause)... I got three words... The Camille Sessions. This is dignified funk, purple funk that is, in it's greatest.

I just came across the Camille sessions, not to long ago and I was like ... where have you been all my life ? The Camille Sessions is like ... The Blueprint 4 Andre300's the love below. I was thinking' Andre3000 must've came across this one day and fall in love with it like it did . If you ever come across it though, don't look at it as a album. It's more like a Demo 4 Sign O' the times, cuz it's like this.

I just learned this fact so check it out ..

Y'all remember the song Love or Money ? Well apparently, that was the first time Prince came up with the ideal 2 speed his voice up and when you look at the credits of the single , it's credited to Camille instead of Prince... so really Love Or Money was the birth of the Camille voice and Prince continued to do other songs, using this unique method of producing & mixing. Some of those songs include

Feel U Up, Shockadelica, If I was your girlfriend, Housequake etc. As you can see Camille was alive during the late 80's when prince was at his best with coming up with the party tunes.

Like I said once b4, the camile sessions is like a demo 4 the Sign O' the times. Here's the tracklist if ur interested.

Rebirth of the Flesh a.k.a. Sooly-a-colia a.k.a. New Funky Cool
Housequake
Strange Relationship
Feel U Up
Shockadelica
Good Love
If I was Your Girlfriend
Rockhard In A Funky Place

From what I hear, some of these songs date back as early as the early 80's 4 instants...Feel U up was written back in 83' and Strange relationships, was originally written sometime in 85'. I be thinking where does Prince find the time to write all these bad ass songs ? The man must never sleep... well you know back then when all u ever heard was Prince on the radio(man I miss those days).

the love below edit

Okat, I am a young fan, so this may sound very stupid, but is this an album, and is it still available?
