This is classic Prince. I must say, Prince's swag was totally unique. Every time they play Raspberry Beret on the radio, it transports me into his world. Great talent. Unique. Mysterious and creative. RIP. 🙏🏾
Some of the people in the video Just Jammin,Nona Gaye plays the President,actress Vanessa Marcel getting an oscar,the older lady watching her students is Marva Collins she started the first black preparatory school in Chicago and Prince was a longtime donor,Cicely Tyson played her in the movie the Marva Collins story.
It was the number three song on Billboard 100. The song dropped a year before The Gold Experience on Bellmark Records. Mayte's version came after, so hers was the cover. Prince asked Warner Bros. to allow him to release this track himself because he wanted to prove that they weren't doing a good job promoting his music. The song was first played on Miss USA that year and NPG Records were asking for photo submissions to use on the single cover at that time. Also, see if you can find The Beautiful Experience. It was TV special.
That being said I think a lot of his albums starting from Lovesexy through Chaos and Disorder charted the same or higher than they did in the US. It seems like his albums were appreciated way more over there.
There are several celebrities in this video from Nona Gaye to General Hospital's Vanessa Marcil - but from what I have read - I think Prince put an ad in either Variety or the L.A. Times that only said " Looking for the most beautiful girl in the world " and he used some of the people who responded ( to the ad) in the video.
My favourite Prince song. And I've been listening to him since red corvette, raspberry beret, I wanna be your lover and all the good music he shared with the world.
Great song and excellent EP. I bought the cassette in the 1990s. This EP/ CD/Album needs to be re-released. The EP has several re-mixed versions of the song.
Yes, it was Sex in the Summer. What a great song too. The baby wasn't conceived yet when this song was recorded, and he and Mayte weren't married yet. I read that he used his own heartbeat in Way Back Home from Art Official Age, and that is an amazing song! Very different sounding , too, compared to this era.
There are plenty remixes of this song (TMBGITW). (This version is the single version (the best version) and not the Gold album version. The other popular mixes of this song is the "Staxowax" and "Mustang" mix version of the TMBGITW.
What’s so crazy about this whole era of his career is that this was released as the first single in the spring of 1994 and the “Gold Experience” album wasn’t released until late 1995. Things were so bad between he and his record label at the time that he had about 3 albums out at the same time several of them had different names on them. Prince was telling the public to not buy the albums that Warner Bros was releasing and to buy the ones from his very own NPG label. The “Come” album was on Warner Bros and the name on it was “Prince” while "1800-New Funk", “Gold Experience” and “Chaos & Disorder” were by “O(+>” The whole thing was mad confusing, I know.
He wrote this song in the 80s and gave a tape to his muse, Carmen Electra. Mayte says it was written for her but that is incorrect. Many things are said after his death by people who want to claim notoriety by association but as our Queen of England brilliantly said about untruths, “recollections may vary.”
I think they used this for the ms USA or one of those beauty talent things as the theme song...1st number 1 after warner brothers said no lol..people thought he was washed up lol
There are different versions of this songs i still have 2 different 12" singles . There are some house versions too of this all version are go & different.
Although this song no longer belongs to the Estate. It took a while to grow on me when this came out. Thats why this album has never been reissued we got Versace Experience instead.
this song was not a cover nor sample. Prince didn't believe in covers unless the artist got permission directly from the original artist to do so & released independently. the label wouldn't let him release the song as a single so he released it independently. this song became the first song he released independently & became a smash hit & timeless classic. the song was about his at the time soon to be fiancé Mayte Garcia.
Jammin please educate me regarding your statement about Prince "sampling". Prince in my humble is a creator of music and he shouldn't have to sample from anyone. Being that you're a real Prince are there songs which Prince sampled from another artist. Please let me know because that's extremely interesting regarding such a great music creator as Prince.....
For people wondering why this song is not on the streaming sights, it's because it's caught up in some weird Italian court litigation that his estate will need to settle since Prince is no longer with him. He won the court case initially but the people suing him won on appeal. Later there was a different settlement but they could not reach Prince to deliver the verdict. Since his estate has not been responsive I believe it may have been defaulted to the suing party. That is probably until his estate can go back to court on it.
Listen to Sweet Thing by Chaka Kahn. I think that is the song you are thinking of that reminds you of this. I had to figure it out too, because I could hear it in there. Enjoy your reactions 😀
His falsetto is flawlessly beautiful in this song.
And the way he went from that low bass note and into the high falsetto! Oh my goodness!
Prince has Classic Songs From The 70's 80's and 90's! How many Artists can claim that!?

Marva Collins beautiful woman
You are absolutely right.
Facts.
I seen that movie
This was the big hit off the album!!!! Classic!!!!
This is one of my all time favorites.....the high note he hit at the end is timeless.

This song and "Diamonds and Pearls" are my two favorites from Prince. Both have irresistible melodies.
Nice, but have you heard Power Fantastic?
@@JustJammin I haven't, but I'll check it out.
this song was HUGE all over the world
Great reaction. I will forever miss Prince, especially when I hear songs of his like this! Sad & sweet.
This is one of his best songs
That's my song right there
His only number 1 in the UK, which is hard to believe.
That being said I think a lot of his albums starting from Lovesexy through Chaos and Disorder charted the same or higher than they did in the US. It seems like his albums were appreciated way more over there.
@@gabriels1869 Definitely. The UK always know what is up before we do. Look at Jimi Hendrix's entire career.
That's a pretty it came when graduated high school in 94

Those notes at the end 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

My favourite Prince song. And I've been listening to him since red corvette, raspberry beret, I wanna be your lover and all the good music he shared with the world.
This song is soo nostalgic to me.brings me back to a time when things were so pure to me.
Great song and excellent EP. I bought the cassette in the 1990s. This EP/ CD/Album needs to be re-released. The EP has several re-mixed versions of the song.
Prince is the epitome of GENIUS
Brilliant!!!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
REST IN PEACE PRINCE 🕊 🕊 🕊 🕊
He took his baby's heartbeat sound from a sonogram and arranged the drums around the heartbeat
Wasn't that on Sex In The Summer?
Yes, it was Sex in the Summer. What a great song too.
The baby wasn't conceived yet when this song was recorded, and he and Mayte weren't married yet.
I read that he used his own heartbeat in Way Back Home from Art Official Age, and that is an amazing song! Very different sounding , too, compared to this era.

My Babe, The Late “ PRINCE” just one of the BEST!!💕

THE HI NOTE HE HITS
It's the Guitar riff from Sweet Thing by Chaka Khan
I m proud to say that this beautiful gurl the chubby one is my best friend sister . 💜💜💜💜
I cant even with this song 😍
I bet you thought the President in the vid was Whitney Houston, I like how you like Prince . Was once one of my favorites
top tune
Dude!!! Sampled?? Prince????
The heavy set lady is Ms.Gloria Gaines one of the best female vocalist.
No it's not , it's me. People confuse us all the time . #peaceandstaywild
He wrote this song about Mayte, his wife....Check out Friend, Lover, Sister, Mother, Wife or And God Created Woman.
Great songs
I've already done those.
Prince wrote this song way b4 Mayte. She never claimed this as her song .#peaceandstaywild
His ability to go high and then hella low is so crazy
🕊🧖🏽♂️🕊I love this version, but I absolutely love the album version more.🕊🧖🏽♂️🕊👁👁🕊🧖🏽♂️🕊
Although this song no longer belongs to the Estate. It took a while to grow on me when this came out. Thats why this album has never been reissued we got Versace Experience instead.
Why this isn’t on the streaming version I don’t understand, it is on my cd of this album
There is a lawsuit issue still not resolved.

Yeah there are a few www.whosampled.com/Prince/samples/
@@JustJammin Thanks for the education....
@Leroy Williams the guitar riff is from one of his heroes Chaka Khan... Sweet Thing
There’s a slight difference between the albumversion and the singleversion. You should definitely check out both versions.
Way ahead of you.
For people wondering why this song is not on the streaming sights, it's because it's caught up in some weird Italian court litigation that his estate will need to settle since Prince is no longer with him. He won the court case initially but the people suing him won on appeal. Later there was a different settlement but they could not reach Prince to deliver the verdict. Since his estate has not been responsive I believe it may have been defaulted to the suing party. That is probably until his estate can go back to court on it.
Ugh I kept wondering why I couldn't find it on pandora. I see the album but not the song
this is 100% truth, One of the most beautiful songs that you have to dig to find it for these reasons
The video has a different version of the song than what is in the album. They are 2 different mixes.
I hate this song with a vengeance. It's an awful pop track. Ugh. 🤮
Listen to Sweet Thing by Chaka Kahn. I think that is the song you are thinking of that reminds you of this. I had to figure it out too, because I could hear it in there. Enjoy your reactions 😀
Hes only sung one line
