I was just given this track through chat saying that This was the version of the song given to Michael Jackson Bad album? What the hell is wrong with Mike not taking that tune!!!? This is nice! (although I cant imagine Michael doing a good job on it and it wouldnt fit on the album). Sounds like it is from 1988 or something.

Prince tried to pawn that track off on several people throughout the years, even way back when it was first put together. which i find quite interesting because it's a pretty good tune. they really should have been releasing b-sides on his singles from 1978-1981. so much good stuff got left behind even in the years that they were releasing b-sides, that older stuff never had a chance.


didn't it finally end up with Taja Sevelle?

I think this song would have been perfect for MJ and would have slipped in nicely among the Quincy Jones production on Bad.

It wouldve made a nice B-Side..especially this version..but Prince's horns and beautiful falcetto breakdown (this version is very much like "Good Love") wouldve been 2 much for Mike!

this song is great
only a complete moron would turn this down *ahem*
but it was the battle of the egos back then MJ
MJ wanted Prince on his Crappy Song BAd
and Prince wanted MJ to sing Wouldn't u love 2 love me
they both said no to each other

then again if they both said yes
we would be in an entirely different world
wouldnt we?

just imagine... Michael Jackson singing this "Wouldn't U Love 2 Love Me".... a Prince song??

don't you feel the irony? the sarcasm even? the perfect humor?
Prince 'giving' this '(song)title' to... Michael????

Hilarious.

I just don't understand why nobody sees this!!
Believe me, Prince KNEW Michael was going to turn this down. Imagine the press on this issue.
I think they laughed their asses off in the Prince camp.
