It's the weekend, everyone! Sure, the rival band from Purple Rain gets all the credit for this funk-gasm, but you know this jam is 100% Prince. I could listen to the entire eight minutes over and over again.
Here's another kinky jam from the olden days. Phunk/phashion diva Betty Davis was briefly married to Miles, but apparently she was "too wild" for him. Larry Graham is all over her first album, and there's plenty of Sly-ed out rollin' and thumpin' on this track from They Say I'm Different, her second. Frantic clavinet courtesy of Tony Vaughn. Light In the Attic dusted these off a few years ago, just piling up more gems in their excellent catalogue. Righteous proto-Parliament-via-Bowie cover art on this one as well. Dig in, folks!
Great track from the legendary East Bay soul/funk scene of old. Skip Michael Chabon's Telegraph Avenue, and listen to this track on repeat for 6 hours instead.
