Good stuff again mate.
Would you say I Wanna Be Your Lover wasn't a hit single then? Cos it was what top 10 in the US which is pretty big imo. I saw an interview from that era as well where he was on some show and was so shy it was adorable.
Anyway I loved this album at first but as time has gone on it's slipped further down the Prince pecking order and wouldn't get into my top 3 now. But the title track is insane and probably top 5/10 for me, the melody, funkiness of it, the lyrics and structure are all top notch. They are simple lyrics but they just hit the nail on the head. It never fails to make me bop my head and do a little dance. Great track.
Can't wait for the next post, I think it will be a belter
