Prince's pop life, song by song, in chronological order.
With “Doves” now on deck for his next single, Prince was in the market for a suitably killer B-side–a role “17 Days” would fill with aplomb.
“Dance to the Beat” feels tailor-made for live performances, giving Morris plenty of opportunities to exhort the audience with the title phrase while the lively synth and guitar riff provides some additional inducement.
“The Second Coming” attempts to tie together the thematic threads of the Controversy album, turning the accompanying live show into a conceptual experience.
