Old School Friday: Prince!

OK, this one has to be different because you know Prince has no videos on the ‘net. And the ones he does have, are not likely to stay up very long…I swear he spends his spare time trolling YouTube to see if his music is there.

So here are two of my favorite Prince cuts…it’s a shame there is a limit to this because there are way too many to choose from!

Yeah! These are some really great choices for the Artist. I have a feeling that today is gonna be real scandalous! Can't wait to make the rounds. Might be a bit surprised as one of my all time Prince jams! :oops:

Tons to choose for sure "Scandalous" I love. Yeah prince will be calling me out soon I'm sure. ;)

Oh Yeah! Those are the bomb! There are just so many. Happy OSF! :wink:

Yup yup missy! Scandalous and Adore are part of my mix over at the spot. I even managed to find the Scandalous vid for ya if you wanna take a peak. That song make me wanna do some thangs ;)

As you know, Adore was #2 on the SB Countdown. So you know it was on all of our lists. I swear I'm walking down the aisle to that. LOL!

Happy OSF!

Even if we were allowed to choose 10 of our favorite Prince songs, it still would have been hard to narrow down the list. That's how bad the boy is. Excellent choices on your part and a good way to start Friday.

OK I need to stop drooling. These two were on heavy rotation on the radio, in my house and on my computer ... can't get enough.

I was here late last night listening to Scandalous before turning off the computer. ;) Unfortunately, his royal highness or his watchdogs monitor YouTube for copyright infringement. Darn it! So, I figure I'll enjoy Prince elsewhere than at my spot this week.

Happy OSF!

Sorry - I entered Ms.Marvelous and saw your Prince post there and posted a comment.

As I said there I think it's a shame when artists get so per-snippity about anyone else posting their music - or at least a small sample of it.

I understand not wanting their music downloaded for free, they do have a right to payment for their talent......BUT a small sample of a song is a good way to promote it and get publicity.

Scandalous is definitely a great one, and like you say there are so many to choose from. Gotta say I really wish my all-time favorite musician (aside from Jimi Hendrix) would spend more time creating great music and less trying to be such a control freak. But hey. He is the Prince, so whatcha gonna do?

Anyway, great choice.

Quick

"come closer"...lol great choices! Happy OSF!

regina

uhn, uhn, uhn! You hit the spot right there!!!
Two great choices but "ADORE" is my all time Prince favorite!

John

I went with probably the predictable choice, I just love Purple Rain. It was the song that brought me to him and I still get goose bumps when I hear it.

MrsGrapevine

Oooh, you should have played the first cut last week for the Baby Making Music theme. But of course Prince is the very definition of BMM.

MrsGrapevine

The second song is one of my Prince favorites, there are so many, but Unitl The End of Time, is up there...I like his R&B and soulful side...

Adore is so beautiful and different as a ballad. He tears that song up...

Tha Connoisseur

Well, first let me say I LOVE YOUR BLOG TOO! :)

Second - I am really contemplating joining y'all and your OSF sessions!

I went to see Prince two years ago and boy, that was an experience. There is NOTHING like the royal purple one. Nothing compares. As for Adore, definitely one of my favorites, next to Insatiable, Seven and Raspberry Beret. And I am sure I can go on and on...lol
