Wait for Love was the first track I ever heard by him and still is one of my favourites. I just received the Love, Luther boxed set for my birthday and it's on there! yay!

I LOVE this song. It's beautiful from start to finish and Luther's voice on this is just incredible. I miss him so much.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

it can wait
I've had it in my collection
for about 2 years...
and I've heard it once
it's not BAD... it's jut
I didn't get into it
at first listen

I'm sorry...
I'm thinking about
the This Close To You album

if I'm not mistaken
LUTHER was the name of
the group he started
which only lasted those 2 albums...
(Luther & TCTY)
around the time he was doing
the CHANGE & BIONIC BOOGIE stuff
"be who you are and say what you feel
because those who mind don't matter
and those who matter don't mind."
