He was either 19 or 20 when he did this song and it displays his virtuosity and maturity as a composer, arranger, musician and producer, he was ahead of his time a true musical genius. I will always be in awe at his abilities as a composer, producer, arranger, guitarist, songwriter and performer. He was SPECIAL!!!!
For those people who questioned Prince's funk roots here's your answer. This must have been some people born after Purple Rain. But for those of us born before know all about it.
Yeah Prince was on the funk tip right up there with Cameo, One-way, etc. This was the dance contest joint for da poppers, lockers and boogaloo cats out there. Y'all remember those days.
Thank you all for agreeing. As you noticed Purple Rain was the beginning of his talent in crossover music appeal B.K.A Pop Music in the 80s. The big part of that reason is because he could blend in with any band by knowing how to play any instrument on stage.
@@kevincox8754 I can see them jamming on a sexy dancer rehearsal and someone comes up randomly with that lyric then they all have a laugh and segue to some other random thought
He was a musical genius but he certainly wasn't sent here by God as a musical Angel because if he was he definitely wouldn't be singing Sexy Dancer or Erotic City or Head I want to be your lover or any of those very sexual songs come on please yes Prince was in a class all by his own at this time he was not walking with the Lord our Lord is merciful because in his later years in life Jesus Christ became his Lord and Saviour that's why he wouldn't sing Erotic City or any of those other song and he changed the lyrics to many of greatest hits he's known for by the masses II would die for you the lyrics change from he's your Messiah he died for you cuz you're the reason why and we all know how the original version goes!!! So thank you Lord for your mercy and your grace or otherwise Prince would be in the burning flames of fire I don't know why everyone thinks they are getting a free pass if you don't confess the Lord as your Saviour now what makes you think when you die and you stand before Him he's going to say oh come on in he's going to say to you depart from me you iniquity for I do not know the!!! WOW you do not want to hear those words after you hear those words you will never see the Lord again you will be sent straight to hell for eternity so if you don't know him now you better Prince said that as well he said if you don't know him now and if you pass on it's too late thank you for the Cross thank you Yahweh!! If you seek him with all your heart you will find him!!
He put in a lot of work, don't fool yourself. He played all day everyday. He was gifted but he put in countless hours of work. A lot of his dates were to the studio where they would just sit there while he worked on his craft.
He did that!!!! Rest in peace Prince! Say hello to the black Prince of Detroit, my brother, Joni Swain! My brother was devastated when Prince died! As we were when Joni Swain died! Rest in Peace big brother!
I remember this at high school parties. Was raw and funky groove. Obviously gifted performer at the time but still didn't prepare you for the phenomenon he became!
The long version was only available (legally since this remix is considered a bootleg) on the UK 12" of Sexy Dancer (B side being Bambi) Bobby Z used that version to make this remix... It was never released for the US market (I wonder why since that bass solo is totally fantastic) and never reissued
@@MJ-bi2do Nope before I spill the beans go listen to “forget me nots”! Same person playing that keyboard is playing the sexy dancer piano solo! And there are three different musicians on “Soft and wet”: Prince, Dr Fink, Patrice Rushen! Dr Fink let it slip that he played on it even earlier as a demo. I hear Patrice Rushen on it too! My ears 👂 are GOLDEN!! Here is something I just discovered right now by doing a simple google search type in Prince and Patrice Rushen: “As it happens, the song 'I Wanna Be Your Lover' was reportedly inspired by Patrice Rushen, who WORKED on the first album, programming some of the synthesisers for the work. Prince was taken by her beauty, and although he attempted to court her, it didn't lead to anything of great substance.” Did you understand what this means?😏
I fell for Prince when I first saw his _For You_ promo in Jet Magazine. Y'all know the one: that halo of an afro, framing his handsome face; leather jacket; and that stare. 😍 I liked his music but there was something about this joint right here ( the beat? the panting?) that turned me out. To this day I consider _Sexy Dancer_ to be my favorite Prince song because it's the song that made me a fan for life. Thank U Mr. Nelson. 💜
76 Mercury Capri's, 3 piece BBS wheels. G.Q clothes. Oh how the men hated Us but, they girls loved Us. Nothing like shifting gears on that Bay Bridge. Jerri Curl swinging.
Ced Bigby It's still find it hard to believe how some people didn't know who Prince was. I remember his music being played on the radio, early songs like: I Wanna Be Your Lover, Controversy, Uptown, and of Course Sexy Dancer. Some people actually bypassed 1999, which was a great album.
Danielle Rameau 1999 album is considered a masterpiece. It's in the the 500 greatest albums of all time, (along with approx. 6 others) according Rolling Stones magazine. Actually, music experts ( professional critics) consider Prince's first 5 albums masterpieces.
I'm a Prince fan since 1984. I know the album version but how come I never heard this? The Man was a genius and from another dimension. How lucky were some of us to grow up in an era in which he dominated.
@@chelsearogers1289 but not this extended length version. I've heard this was not sold in the US, where I'm at, but was available in other countries. Was this extended mix official or a 3rd party remix?
I definitely agree prince was on a different planet and I am very happy to be able to witness greatness I'm more of a prince fan than Michael Jackson but they both are amazing singers
yes forever,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Prince the love of my life, grew u to him, since i was 13,, this man died and i crumbled into a million pieces,,,,,,, felt like i lost a family member,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, he will always rule my mood,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, rip to the great and wonderful purple one,,, would have been 60 today,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,:(
As I was about 8 or 9 when Prince first touched down it was ironic I didn't stumble on this 12'inch version until I was a DJ around 84-85 still in H.S. Was before Purple Rain blew up and I was jamming to Controversy and 1999. I had found this vinyl and didn't have any clue what album it originated from. I was mixing it with Egyptian Lover and Cameo. Had no clue he was about to explode! This cut was just straight funky low-fi groove. Long play was definitely my fave. I didn't realize until I collected his entire CD collection it was from his 2nd release! I thought was just one of his many 'extra' jams lol. All hail the royal prince!
I was 11 when this came out and I was obsessed. I kept WBLS all day and night waiting to hear it. At night I would keep the radio real low so my mom wouldn’t hear. Still listening 🔥🔥🔥

Prince was debuted on WGPR in Detroit around 1978-1979 (soft and wet hit the air waves). I was hooked then, when DJ said, Prince wrote, played, arranged, and composed the entire album. I ran to the record store to get and read the album credits for myself. I knew at a young age (my teens) that Prince was a musical prodigy 😮. A true musical legend of our time.
Me again. Prince knew what women wanted when it was taboo. All that heavy breathn. He wasn't afraid to break barriers. Funny look at the world now HA!! He was ahead of his time with his lyrical expressions and exotic erotic music!!!!
Dawn Kimble you are exactly right!!! "HIS Royal Badness," very much ahead of his time. For those of us who chose to get on the train of his royal robe has driven into his "Purple Haze" of drum beats, guitar links and solos. Not to mention his wicked lyrics and shrieks and screams. It drives us girls wild. Forever live, forever love Prince Roger Nelson.🔥🎤🔥🎸🔥🥁🔥🎹🔥🎼🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I was a 14 yr old Dj in my hood..and I would sell mix cassette tapes to the young and old and help my mom pay the mortgage and bills and buy my own things the 80's...Mann i did that
Prince a true musical icon, who set musical trends and change the music industry! Such a great talent, a virtuoso, fantastic arranger, composer and multi instrumentalist. No one compares to Prince! 💜💙🎹🎼🎸
Agreed,I'd dance to this and this song took complete control over all my rhythm my girl had to just enjoy the show...yeah this one right here....masterpiece
My favorite artist of all time ...This is the prince way before purple rain I fell in love with lol...so talented ..playing all the instruments ...RIP my favorite artist ..listening in 2020 and beyond ..
I remember dancing to this at clubs in college...it was a long song & perfect if u liked dancing....very mature song...so much fun. 1979 was the year....
Yup Its 2020 and I'm still bumping this‼ Among many other PRINCE JAMS 💜💜💜 I'm a FAM from the beginning...All I listen to is PRINCE PRINCE had his own genre.. There was Rock...R&B...Pop...HipHop... Country.....and PRINCE 💜💜
Prince at his early best and growing. Been listening since the for you album. Bambi just as long as we're together soft and wet. Then I want to be your lover early 79 1980 knew he was something special.
PRINCE was at his baddest, his boldest, and his most controversial performances...hence the albums "Dirty Mind" and "Controversy"...that boy wasn't afraid of bein' bad, and not afraid to offend anybody...the only brotha I know that can wear high heels and eyeliner, and GET AWAY WITH IT! DA BOY BAAAAAD!!!
Back in the day, many artists had extended version of songs and the DJ would play the 12 inch single records. You could also but the 12 version. This started going away in the 80's - Prince always kept doing it. Most artist stopped. And dance remixes were the club DJ just mixing it, playing in back forth "mixed with other parts of the song.Prince actually has great long versions of most of hiits. Buy Essential Prince! All these extended versions are there. "let's Work" is epic! This was on Vinyl back in the day 1978 is is out of prince.
Thanks a lot, Craig : this long "sexy" version is very hard to find ! I've not heard it since a very long time. The slappin'bass solo is my favorite part, but the whole track is enormous!!
The long version was only available (legally since this remix is considered a bootleg) on the UK 12" of Sexy Dancer (B side being Bambi) Bobby Z used that version to make this remix...

Still jammin' this in 2018. Thanks for posting this long version. I always loved the piano solo on this track but now I'm hearing this slap bass solo & I'm like wow....Prince was & still is "THE MAN"
Back in the day when Silks in Emeryville was jumpin, Jerry O would play this upstairs round 3 and no matter how tired I w as I would still get my boogie on 😅
Wow!I never thought I would find this funk classic of Prince. But I'm glad I finally did it just wouldn't be complete with out hits collection. This song had a rebirth in the night club and strip joints.
I was 20 ,it was my 1st time in a club called CATACOMBS here in Philly. Had never heard this song before but,when that break came in ,i found myself dancin by myself in pure bliss.
This song is almost 40 yrs old and still makes me move.
These kids don't know anything about this! #IMissUPrince

I think it translates to if you want to smell his farts from his ass. I want to smell it.
God given talent for sure.....there will never be another one ever like him period....
BEST SONG BY PRINCE I KNOW HE HAS TONS BUT THIS RIGHT HERE?????
Anthony Hollowell fa show
I agree...real funky groove.....not to mention Soft & Wet from this era too...
It's 2 many hits 2 say this is the best
I think so too. Although Prince has had numerous hits, this one has more funk than a NFL Locker Room.

There is plenty of great modern music that is not popular/overground/mainstream but it's entirely subjective of course.

Back in the day, many artists had extended version of songs and the DJ would play the 12 inch single records. You could also but the 12 version. This started going away in the 80's - Prince always kept doing it. Most artist stopped. And dance remixes were the club DJ just mixing it, playing in back forth "mixed with other parts of the song.Prince actually has great long versions of most of hiits. Buy Essential Prince! All these extended versions are there. "let's Work" is epic! This was on Vinyl back in the day 1978 is is out of prince.
Thanks a lot, Craig : this long "sexy" version is very hard to find ! I've not heard it since a very long time. The slappin'bass solo is my favorite part, but the whole track is enormous!!
The long version was only available (legally since this remix is considered a bootleg) on the UK 12" of Sexy Dancer (B side being Bambi) Bobby Z used that version to make this remix... It was never released for the US market (I wonder why since that bass solo is totally fantastic) and never reissued
PRINCE PLAYED EVERY INSTRUMENT IN THIS SONG FACTS !!
Thank you Prince!! Your music was and still is Amazing. You will always be my fav!!!! Sexy Dancer

The master mastering...
Any body didn't realize Prince funk chops hear it is
Still jammin' this in 2018. Thanks for posting this long version. I always loved the piano solo on this track but now I'm hearing this slap bass solo & I'm like wow....Prince was & still is "THE MAN"
Marvelous guitar solo and awesome rhythm sound blended together to create a work of artistic music. Pounding bass really puts it all in sequence.
This is the raw and funky prince 🤴
Back in the day when Silks in Emeryville was jumpin, Jerry O would play this upstairs round 3 and no matter how tired I w as I would still get my boogie on 😅
This is that early Prince.....New, Hot, Phunky!
Looking for this for the longest...leave it up FOREVER
Amazing song! Love the long version! There's only ONE Prince! PRN 4Ever!
Good Rollerskating song
I love when Bobby Z got _disco_ on the drums. Str8 Eargasmic 👂🏽💕
Man this song was the Shit I was in High School best time of my life.
Wow!I never thought I would find this funk classic of Prince. But I'm glad I finally did it just wouldn't be complete with out hits collection. This song had a rebirth in the night club and strip joints.
Thank you so much Craig. This song is in my top 3 favorite Prince songs of all time.
3 mins and 40 secs in, it gets taken to another level...
2024 and imm still shaking my ass 😊
Met my favorite performer back in 2001. RIP Mr. Nelson. Us DJ's thank you for your contributions.
