so much tension
cause we're living a lie....by and by Oh whoa whoa....not to mention can we give it a try?  one of the greatest slow jams of the 80s!
The 'You,Me and He' album is superb.It opens with the funky midtempo track "C.O.D. (I'll Deliver)" which sounds just like "Juicy Fruit". | |

"Prime Time" was also a great tune from the `84 lp. | |

So u go 4 the stuff they DON'T play on classic radio too? I wish I could've been around in the days of Album Oriented music, where they would play the stuff in the middle of the album | |

Great song and the title alone is sexy as hell. I could go for some "you, me, and he" right about now my damn self. And there wouldn't be no "what we gonna do baby" because dammitt, I'd know what to do.  Andy is a four letter word. | |

I would love to hear "You Me And He" or "Would You Like To Fool Around" sometime,too. | |

I've stopped/give up listening to "classic" radio, I'm convinced at best they have only about 50 albums/Cd's of classic songs. That's why you hear the same single over and over again. | |

It drives me crazy In my area,we have an R&B oldies station but they play the same songs over and over and over.They pick an artist,and choose three or four of their most popular hits,and play em over and over and over! The Prince songs they play are "I Wanna Be Your Lover","Kiss","When Doves Cry","1999" and "Little Red Corvette".
Sometimes,I wanna strangle their DJs and ask them "Haven't you ever heard of "Let's Work"??! What about "Anotherloverholenyohead"??! Or "Adore"??! You know,mix it up a bit! Don't just play the most popular songs! | |

The same-titled album has a few more tight grooves : | |

When "You, Me and He" came out I assumed this René & Angela singing/song. | |

"Where's the beef.....cause we're the BUTHCHERS....ain't NOTHIN we can't CUT" Yeah, too bad that remix is not on Youtube. As the lp-version has a more laidback groove, the extended single with that fierce clap-hook pumps it up to another level. | |

the 1st Mutume I knew about was their last album, 1986's Theatre Of The Mind. I liked "Pop Generation" and "Breathless"
