Discographies list the A-side of the vinyl singles as 3:54, as printed on the release, but it’s really just the ~3:45 LP version.
Haha, I fat-fingered the printed duration when I typed my comment, too
See? See how easy it is? heh heh
When Sign O The Times failed to hit #1 and If I Was Your Girlfriend flopped, it looked as if this era is gonna end up worse than the Parade one.
Thank god for this duet, becoming the biggest hit from the album, and squeezing another Top 10 single after!
U Got The 7″s, Richie!
ha, too bad I don’t got the look
Doubt the Fun-Wife will agree to that….
If I Was Your Girlfriend – may have been seen as a flop
but it was a slightly obvious nod to the gay fans
either that
Or Prince being ‘Clever’ radio didn’t like ?
Kate Bush’s Running Up that Hill is kinda lyrically very similar
or as Rick James said ” THEY call ME a faggot ! & Me An’ all my women laugh”
