This is my favorite Prince song.
The version I have heard segues into 'All My Dreams' - which is a
pop master piece in it's own right. It's up there with 'Good Vibrations',
'Day In The Life', etc.
The lyrics are different in this version than the one released.
It also has less production and sounds a lot 'rawer'
This song is bluesy with swing feel.
Preformed on piano on the record but sounds good on guitar as well.
