probably in my Top 3 Prince singles.
And I really thought this would be a surefire #1 on BB Hot 100. I guess the song topic was not exactly one would associate with a pop song.
Did you read my mind? I wanted to ask if you could post “Sign ‘O ‘ The Times, so it was.
Now, in the month of Prince, I beg for the 12 “Sheila E.” A Love Bizarre. ”
Thanks!
