this song reminds me of sitting at the forum for +an hour waiting IMPATIENTLY for Prince to come out ^-^ and when he finally did--i almost fainted cx lololol!
I thought she had kinda disappeared after Romance 1600, which I think is an incredible album, even better than the 1st, but I guess I missed this one, I really like it!
@rhymeandreasoning Because Prince wrote and produced everything on their albums. Please keep in mind, Prince had (and still has) a huge number of songs that no one has ever heard. Giving his music to his friends was his way to get it out there!
Ah yes...Sheila E.'s self titled third album from 1987. Had appearances from her then unknown proteges Tony! Toni! Tone! on the album- when they were about to be signed to Paisley Park.
@greyburd1 Yeah, that's true. Tony! Toni! Tone! were aboiut to sign with Paisley Park, but Prince wanted complete control over their music and image, and they rejected the deal In fact, their song "Born Not To Know" was about that whole situation.
don't know why prince dissed hiphop on dead on it as this is one of his best attempts at it. sheila was a perfect foil for prince as she brought so many musical ideas to the table.
I might have 2 bump this loud 2morrow. Tjam*

"Come and dig the Koo Koo war
Rumor has, it got started cuz our leaders got bored
New toys with a laser teach children 2 kill
Who knows when they're older, maybe they will
Nothing gained, paradise lost
Koo Koo's the trip and death is the cost"...very interesting and prophetic lyrics.

why is it that pretty much every artist that was signed to Paisley Park, their albums sounded like a Prince album..

This song/video is SO Sign O' The Times. ESPECIALLY the fact that BOTH Sheila E. and Cat are wearing glasses just like Prince wore around that time.
