The best thing he ever did, in my opinion. This snip of video and track capture perfectly the insistent power of male sexuality, complete with jealousy, violence, lust and love.

I never knew it was his. I've always listened to the mariah dru hill version and i put it on repeat. I was pregnant from my second daughter when this classic was in the theaters and my all time favorite from him is lets get crazy especially the solo at the end, it electrifies me.

Prince's talent is so much more, a trip is waiting for You... If you have the required time, he has the long ride. More than 40 years of live concerts, rehearseals, recordings , musical albums, videos, sound checks , films... And believe me, worth it. Prince music HAVE no Age. Healing power running...on it. A real Ladder to your best within. LONG LIVE Prince .
