O.K. So I know that I'm probably late to this, but, in honor of Prince's passing, what's your favorite song(s) by him? For me, I really like Raspberry Beret, 1999, and Purple Rain, but my absolute favorite of his has to be When Doves Cry. How bout you guys?

I wish we could post more of his music but it's so hard to find online

Sometimes it Snows in April is pretty sad song and especially poignant now after his death, apparently he released it 30 years to the day he died so it is oddly prophetic.

One makes me happy, the other sad.

This brings back some good memories and I think the video is from Purple Rain. This song was HOT when I was in school! Now I know why Prince needed a hip replacement. :mrgreen:

There's a music video I could post but it works much better in this scene.

I know that I used to have When Doves Cry on my Spotify account, but it now seems like any and all of his songs have dropped off the face of the Earth.

Where to start? My favorites now happened to be Diamonds and Pearls and The Most Beautiful Girl in the World. The truth is, I used to have a big crush on Prince since high school and was drawn to his music. I was shocked and scared when I found out that he died. He is the greatest musician of all time and I will missed him dearly.
