I touched on this a little in another thread... I don't think I've ever heard or seen him perform SD live! Have you? It's not even on "The Hits/B-Sides!" Maybe it's not one of his favorites?

Also, anyone know what's going on in the intro? It's sounds like he's in a studio. There's a guy with a British? accent saying something about a "mix." There's a faint "we can do this," then all hell breaks loose!

i've heard that (gawd-awful ) mix before...dunno who did it, tho'.

they butchered sexxy d., maaannn...as for seein/hearin the track live, i've done both.

He played it at the classic 1982 First Avenue performance where he also debuted All The Critics and did Still Waiting as a duet with Sue Ann.

that's the 12'' version right..? with the british guy at the beginning...

EllisDee said:

it's more like the 12" version played twice, with the dude's voice dubbed over it...

What in the world ever happened to Sue Ann? I remember this song that went something like, Let me, let you, rock me...

There's no 'british guy' on the real 12" version of
sexy dancer. It's just like the album version, but goes
on longer and has some great guitar and piano soloing
from Prince, and lasts about 8:41.

All The Critics Love U In New York O+>

that be the one...sans the annoying dude's voice, that is.

She did an album, Blue Velvet, produced by Jesse Johnson back in '88. It's really good, if you like the Jesse brand of funk. I love that album. She has a good voice. I haven't heard anything about her since, though.

I bet "sexy dancer" was played to death in strip club in the early 80's :LOL:

Sexy Dance was Performed in the 90's during the San Francisco aftershow (the one that mentions the Rodney King trial.)

Sue Ann's "Let me let you rock me" single had her version of Prince's "Make it through the storm" on the b-side, the only ever official release for this track. It's only credited to Chris Moon, who wrote the lyrics, but the vocal melody is identical to Prince's version.

Also, "Sexy dancer" was a regular part of the setlist on the Nude tour.
