Lol...We showing our age Trent!...I was there when they first introduced this song on B.E.T. As a world premier!...I remember his then fiancee (Who if im not mistaken is the chick on the video) Was talking to one of the hosts about making it before they played the video...DAMN DUDE! WHERE DID TIME GO?!?!
You want soul? You want a funky old school Rhythm and Blues vocal lick? Listen at 2:56 when Prince sings, "...if you're looking for a man that will have ten women and confuse it all with his wealth..." - at the end of that line - at 3:05 - Prince ad libs, "..listen here...". His vocal inflection on those two little words is pure "James Brown/Wilson Pickett Good God" soul singing. Somebody out there will understand what I'm talking about.
I remember me and my roommate used to make up dances using this track in college. I can only find the song on CZcams. I wish I still had the CD at least. One of my favs from Prince. RIP
Unfortunately I only had the opportunity to see Prince live once in my life but it was unforgettable !!! He opened with 'The One' and I was nailed to the ground and breathless. I will never forget you, what a loss that you are no longer there but you will live on forever thanks to the treasures you left for us. Gracias
The lows and the octaves in his voice is orgasmic to the soul. What a privilege to share space with a man that can make love to you without physically touching you. Prince you R Da One
The version he wrote with Mayte’s name in it … is simply beautiful also…. However it’s a personal cut, never released…Mayte did a dance to it as a tribute to him last year… it was heartbreakingly gorgeous
I think you're referring to the full-length version (7 min. 5 sec.) of this song. That's where Prince sings his then-wife Mayte's name, ending the lyrics. The version heard here is missing a couple of minutes of instrumental music that's been edited out. The full-length, 7:05-minute version of "The One" was released on the New Power Soul album by The NPG in 1998. (To hear that version, search CZcams for a video titled 'Prince & The New Power Generation - The One'. He sings Mayte's name starting at 5:08.) And I couldn't agree more: "The One" has always been such a gorgeous, sultry, sensual ballad.... Prince slayed on this. O(+>
One his most BEAUTIFUL songs ever! Just makes you want get the one you love and just grind al night too this one! Yes he had a way of writing a song and hitting everyone in the gut! Miss you RIP Mr. Purple One!
If I date a man, this song is a must listen...cause if the listener calls Prince 'soft' or 'corny' then he's not for me. But if the listener is nodding his head, and asking me to play it again...then we've got a chance. That's one test that cannot be failed in my book!
now what woman would want to listen to his music and fall in love with all his music this man got a way of writing song and hit you right in the heart and make you feel like every man that you ever meet and fall in 💘 with give you this kind of love that you will never forget I'm talking about real man I'm not talking about no boy I'm talking about grown ass man
God I miss this man's presence upon earth and hope to see him in the next life. RIP to a man I saw live but never met and somehow he touched my soul anyway. Xoxo
Me too! Found it in a CD resale shop, and actually got mad that the seller let this go with a classic like this on the playlist. But I guess if you know no better, you know no better.
If you’re looking for a man that make you feel like time has just begun… a man that make you feel like you’re the only thing that ever mattered underneath the sun!!!! Mannnnnnnn, Where is my ONE?!?! 🥰 I want him now and I want HIM just like this too!
"Dearly Beloved... We are gathered Here Today... To get thru THIS Thing called LIFE!" "THE ONE" is MY FAVORITE Prince song... after Diamonds and Pearls! 2019 & STILL Feelin his Energy & Binge watchin ALL things Prince! 💜 #TheBeautiFulOne
My second Favorite Prince song. When this video came out I taped it so I could freeze it and read the words around the frame. There will never be another like him. May his purpleness forever Reign. See you in the Dawn!
I thought I loved Prince, but now I know I was in love with him. He's so sensual and sexy. He's voice can melt your clothes off. Salute to the man, who can!!! Love you!!!
just to see him once again,hear him sing from a stream of unselfish love that he couldn't resist to gain. I love him,and miss him so! Yes, he was the one!!💜💜💜😪
Well, so this song is on New Power Soul, the 1998 album by The NPG (New Power Generation), the name of Prince's backing band in the 1990s. Prince is singing the lead and background vocals, and he wrote it I'm sure, probably doing some of the instruments (Rhonda Smith is smoking on that sultry bass) but my guess is you might not find this gorgeous ballad on streaming services at first because technically this is a song by The NPG, *not* Prince. (Or maybe I'm wrong and it's not on streaming under either name.)
This is one of the most unknown, yet iconic songs of any song that Prince has ever written or sung! Everything about this song, the lyrics, the music, the ad libbing, EVERYTHING is on point! I fell in love with this from the very first moment I heard it and still love it today! Prince was a musical genius!
RIP Great one will miss you and your music we know it was much more to come but God called you home to hear it first ! U will always live on in our hearts and minds!
I've listen to this song so many times in the past, and now I've find this one version. Can't enjoy it as I use to, now that they've cut some parts of the song short, like the intro was beautiful, but everything else should have been left alone.

One of Prince's most underrated and overlooked songs of all time!! Loved this song for the last twenty-one years!!
Trent Davis definitely one of his most underrated songs
Underrated by charts, maybe ? It’s always been my favourite Prince song since day one. The sensuality is palpable !
Lol...We showing our age Trent!...I was there when they first introduced this song on B.E.T. As a world premier!...I remember his then fiancee (Who if im not mistaken is the chick on the video) Was talking to one of the hosts about making it before they played the video...DAMN DUDE! WHERE DID TIME GO?!?!
Yes absolutely!!! I used to request the video over and over💯🎶🎶🎶
This song didn't get the recognition it deserved!
Still listening in 2024! We miss you Prince
#RnBEmpress
One of my favorite songs ever. So sensual and such and incredible vocal range. RIP Prince....you are missed!

Same. I can’t find my cd. I swear it was stolen. Absolutely adore Prince.👑
I absolutely love his song ❣️ Still 2023
He wrote such beautiful songs for Mayte 💜💜💜
Indeed he did
@@dianepadgett7592 that my husband he everything I ever wanted in a man
Love this album. Wish it was on Spotify along with Exodus.
It’s now on Spotify but it’s the live performance
paisley park needs to come out with a compilation of all prince's ballads and slow jams. 90s prince is so underrated
Moment of silence for those who haven't made it to hear this song yet.
10 years, 182,000 views? This is a loss for real men worldwide. I guess I'm one of the few blessed. Thank you brother Prince!
Unfortunately I only had the opportunity to see Prince live once in my life but it was unforgettable !!!
He opened with 'The One' and I was nailed to the ground and breathless. I will never forget you, what a loss that you are no longer there but you will live on forever thanks to the treasures you left for us. Gracias
true, sad some couldn't see him even once
Lucky you. I missed his concerts at every turn..
I passed up an oportunity once...and regret it to this day. I saw him after 1999 and Purple Rain.....and I have never been the same.
I remember years ago on B.E.T prince said that this is one of his greatest songs
Those strings, the harp, the key signature in C minor and such beautiful harmonies, musical genius
I love that .
Peter-James what did u expect it's Prince all his music is genius.
Peter-James Mmbago Claire Fischer! Look him up online!!!!
Prince and his music will always have my heart..he will live forever on thru his music-legacy..
Agreed.
STILL BUMPIN THIS IN 2022....
2024
The lows and the octaves in his voice is orgasmic to the soul. What a privilege to share space with a man that can make love to you without physically touching you. Prince you R Da One

Rhonda check out his video The Question of You
Amen!!
Prince was the most logical successor musically to Marvin Gaye. In many respects, those two were were the same as far as the inner conflicts.
I'mma ask to play head next 😂
@@darrettp❤❤❤❤
What an underrated gem. He did his thing here. I enjoyed this album through and through.
underrated by whom?
@@azzteke The general public at large. Don't play.

Joyce Sanders I completely agree
Joyce Sanders yes yes girl!!!!!
Me too I completely agree with you.
Prince was one of a kind, like a rare red diamond. He had it all. But he was gone too soon.
Your so right on that..
The music he penned for Mayte💜…No one can not ever say that couple were not in love…That man loved her and she loves him still
The intro is everything to my ears!!🎼🎼🥰
Beautiful Classic Sensual Gorgeous!!!!! This song is ALL OF IT!!!!

I remember owning this disc in the 90's and this song was the only reason why I bought it,cause this is one the best babaymaking songs he ever made
Me too! Found it in a CD resale shop, and actually got mad that the seller let this go with a classic like this on the playlist. But I guess if you know no better, you know no better.
What album was it under cause i could never find it
@@angeluvsvid The one pictured in the video :) It's called "New Power Soul" but officially the artist is "New Power Generation", not Prince.
It's just something about it! It does something to my insides!❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥
