The only Christmas Song my Boyfrind liked, and he died on 26.12.11, was only 41 years old... So I still love this song too, always made me sad. but now it`s much sader than it was
I am a big fan of Prince's music circa late 70s to mid 1980s as well as the entire Minneapolis clique (Sheila E, The Time, Vanity 6, The Family, just to name a few). This happens to be my favorite Prince song on so many creative and emotional levels! This song was performed so flawlessly that it did'nt need to be on a album. I wish it was released as a stand alone single.
Boy....listening to old B sides like this one reminds me all over again how prolific and truly Blessed with talent Prince is. His music will always hold a special place in my heart.
I use to play this song ALL DAY LONG, it's a wonder my tape didn't melt.
Prince wasn't just an artist, he was a movment. Hey, Roger, I thank you for the memories. I remember Sinbad introducing you and saying, an artist like this comes along once every 100 years and after him, there won't be another. How right he was. PRINCE ALWAYS! his royal badness
Im not dead Im alive.....Prince I keep trying to call you baby Im all grown up....it is me Wendy Johnson as Law'Ana (Chandler).....please ansewer me...baby I still Love You and ONLY YOU!!
NPG/PRN should be smart enough to realize that these songs are like ads for his current stuff. I know they don't want to lose any sales- I can respect that but people who don't know his genius will hopefully listen...truly listen...might go out and buy his new cds/downloads BECAUSE they heard this. Original members of the "Rude Boy", clubs like myself are willing to pay to download great memories like this that we once had on 45's and 12inch records that have been lost/damaged over the years.
@DecimusXAM Well ... i hope they READ your post / and RECONSIDER what they doing & unlock all the videos & tracks that they UNPOSTED from my page ... trust me / i feel the same way you do - but their legal team will pull anything they find posted on here that doesnt have their " stamp of approval " ..... my page is MARKED and they have to ok ( or deny ) anything I got in the vault ... sad / hope Prince comes around soon ...
@anonymousent Thanks for your efforts - they are appreciated. Keep up the great work. I also that hope some of today's young musicians will come across these jewels and try to create some of their own REAL music. That's a lot to hope for but what the hell...
@Jessie191000 I can't .... NPG Records only allowed me to post in honor of my "deceased" wife ... they won't allow the embedding either ... sorry ...
@mariofan4523 And he's playing all instruments on this track (according to Princevault, although credited to "Prince & the Revolution" on the record).

Amazing quality there..
This is the first time I listen to Prince....
and honestly, I don't feel too good about all this....
Mean no offense, but the World moves forward,
and You are either to follow, or to be left behind, sooner or later...

Makes you wonder what all those songs Prince has left in his vault sound like? This song is not widely known, but a great Xmas song.

Jusst realized recently from a different video that Prince is a fantastic guitarist. I've never really figured the guy out, married, unmarried, what?
