Song of the Day: Musicology features the words and music of Prince, who was born on this date in 1958. This is the title track from Prince’s twenty-eighth studio album, which was initially distributed only to those who attended his “Musicology Live 2004ever” Tour. I’m happy to say I was one of those concertgoers! In fact, my sister and I attended that terrific concert at Madison Square Garden nearly twenty years ago in July 2004. This song opened that concert. Though Prince tragically died in 2016, at the age of 57, he left behind a massive catalog—so much of which has yet to see the light of day. This James Brown-like funk throwback won a Grammy Award for Best Traditional R&B Performance. Check out the official music video [YouTube link].
