Peace Brother,
Yes, I agree. No a song to skip through on the entire album. I also like "LADY CAB DRIVER" and "A-U-T-O-MATIC".
"FREE" is a real tear jerker.

Dude, someone asked me where and I posted the link.
even The Boss paid tribute to Prince 
Peace,
1999 is actually my favorite Prince album. I can acknowledge that Sign O The Times is better, but 1999 is my shit. Incredible album.

I always thought his albums were prototypes of the song and when he plays them live its the way it should sound... This is why its hard to judge his albums with each other, because often when you hear some of those songs live it may sway your original opinion of the song..
It does my heart good that the ENTIRE world is appreciating his genius...
just sad he wasn't able to see it for himself
not that he would have given a single f*ck that the world finally caught up...
we miss you Prince.

@0:55
there will ONLY one
those pills got his ass before the monster did.
If Prince had AIDS he would have been bed ridden weeks ago, and his appearance would have shown as such. Stop feeding into the media hoopla and do your own research.
Peace,
I don't think this has been posted yet? If so my apologies.

1980...PRINCE...LIVE/GOTTA BROKEN HEART AGAIN...ALBUM/DIRTY MIND
More of a punk/funk/rock/R&B feel. Prince was 2 raw for the masses. This album the follow-up "CONTROVERSY" and the next album was "1999". This string of 3 albums had some people saying PRINCE was:

- THE ANTI-CHRIST
- devil worshiper
- anti-GOD
- Making a mockery out of the bible
- Sent to mislead people

In the top 5 of my favorite Prince songs.
Do I believe in god, do I believe in me?
Let me tell ya
Some people want to die so they can be free <<<< Balls to wall destructive behavior
I said life is just a game, we're all just the same
Do you want to play?
^^^
Profound writing. The lyrics on the song are dope & wide open to interpretation. It explains the human condition in one verse.
People lie, kill & steal with the same questions going unanswered.
When you have something to say artistically. You will keep people interested for a VERY LONG TIME. That song is 35 years old. And its still fresh. The gay shit, the Black & white shit, its the same thing that sparks conversation today.
Wrote some of the best songs EVER on companionship.
RIP to a GREAT ARTIST
YEAR (UNKNOWN)...VENUE (UNKNOWN)...LIVE..."BLUES MEDLEY"....PRINCE, MACEO PARKER, LARRY GRAHAM AND JOHNNY BLACKSHIRE.
Prince could play it all!
PRINCE CROWD SURFACES AT THE END!
YEAR (UNKNOWN)...VENUE (UNKNOWN)...LIVE..."WE GONE MAKE IT FUNKY"....PRINCE AND MACEO PARKER

Peace Tek,
Those lyrics always stuck with me also. CONTROVERSY AND DIRTY MIND had some of his rawest songwriting!
I'm glad you enjoyed the post.
Prince wasn't really for the mainstream, I will be happy when he returns back to the underground. It's pure comedy listening to these people try to analyze Prince and his music, beliefs. I have heard everything from Purple Rain being called Purple Haze, to his sister isn't married. When his brother law was his body guard, and spent the last week doing no telling what with him. Dudes, circle was wall tight. Someone knows. Kirk Johnson knows, Tyka brother in law knows, the entire city knows, but they so far are loyal to their Prince. The myth of Prince keeps building, with quotes like "154 hours," from his brother in law. Just at the myth of him playing 27 instruments, his age, his supposed angst against drugs. Leeds said it best, Prince had a holy hotline when it was good for Prince. Dude sold his soul to the devil behind this music shit. Look no further, Everything is in the music.
Not many have heard the tune below. He was getting ready to go back home. It's cool to see new fans on that topical level, but you got hit them deep cuts though. I have already had enough of purple rain being ruined. Man if they play this at the ceremony, boy that would be tough.

Greatest lesson from Prince' art is dont limit yourself to labels.
Stay out of the box.
Question the idea of conforming for comfort !!!

SiriusXM 50 was playing his music all weekend. Its so many songs, that as soon as heard them took me right back to a specific time.
The label shouldnt be used as loosely as it is.
Genius!
Prince lived in that tortured place many artist live in. Genius, where most people will need time to digest & understand the method of thought.
Im proud & blessed to have spent just a little time with him. I posted that story probably a few weeks ago here. Listening to his catalog all weekend was inspiring.

1979...I WANNA BE YOUR LOVER...ALBUM..."PRINCE"....BY PRINCE
Prince is the eponymous second studio album by American recording artist Prince. It was released on October 19, 1979 by Warner Bros. Records. The album was written, arranged, composed, produced and performed entirely by Prince, with the only known contribution from another person being "some vocal harmony" added by close friend/bassist André Cymone on Track 2.[2]
Prince recorded the album in just a few weeks after Warner Bros. asked for a follow-up to his 1978 debut, For You. Prince had used twice his initial recording advance on the album, and it had failed to generate a pop hit (although "Soft and Wet" became a No. 12 R&B hit). Displeased at his lack of success, Prince quickly recorded the follow-up.
Overall, the album was much more diverse and well-received than For You, critically and commercially. The success of this album geared Prince towards his next, Dirty Mind, which would be called a complete departure from his earlier sound.
