Hello All,Let's start out by saying that this is a fantastic cd by Prince. It has all of your favorites on there such as: Little Red Corvette, Purple Rain, U Got the Look, Kiss, 1999, I Wanna Be Your Lover. I can keep going on because this disc is filled with 17 songs of pure, raw edginess by our man. Go grab this CD, matter of fact, grab 2 while your at it:-)
I never realized how much of a Prince fan I was until I was singing along with all of these songs. One great song after another.
I am very happy with this cd. I loved Prince back in the day and this cd reminded me how much. I love amazon.com.Everything(too many to name)I have gotten from Amazon hasbeen in perfect condition. woo hoo.
Sign of the Times. Definitely before his time in the 80s when he envisioned 1999. Queen of Pop.ABrooks
Prince has had a long and varied career as a musician. However, let me suggest this.if you enjoy Prince's music, get all the albums that he has put out and make up your own mind as to what is his very best and whatnot. Eve onto more recent tunes like "Gett Off", "Cream" "Diamonds and Pearls" & "Money Don't Matter 2 Night".
Going through groups like The Revolution and The New Power Generation, his musical style changed somewhat through the years ranging from Funk, R&B, Soul, to Pop, Hip Hop and even Jazz, Psychadelic & Hard Rock. If you can get past those omissions(which some were his better tunes), this is an album worth getting to listen to for a taste of his greatest. Born in 1958 to John and Matti Nelson, his career started in 1977 with the release of his first album "For You".
While the album itself is a testament to his career, there are several gems missing from this album that were favorites among his fans (like "Controversy", "Delirious", "Erotic City", "Pop Life", "I Could Never Take the Place Of Your Man", "Head", "If I was your Girlfirend", "Take Me With You", "Batdance", "Partyman" and my two all-time favorite "For the Tears in your Eyes" & "My name is Prince"). This album, The Very Best of Prince, gives you seventeen of his very best tunes for you to listen to. Gems from his early career like "I Wanna Be Your Lover", "1999" & "Little Red Corvette" are there as well as tunes from his movies Purple Rain and Graffiti Bridge.
They need to make a second volume of his very best. You won't regret it.
