Private Joy appreciation All I can say is 
Love the hell out of this song! It's in my top five fav Prince songs ever! One of his greatest works imo. Has he played it lately? [Edited 12/23/11 20:39pm] |

The hit single from Controversy that never was. Still dont understand why and why he never plays it live. The album's strongest song along with Do Me baby | |

Did you know that the track Dear Uncle George eventually became Private Joy?

There were too many of us, we had access to too much money, too much equipment, and little by little......we went insane. | |

Why hasn't an appreciation started sooner? LOVE is the word to describe my feelings for this piece. Yes, at 19, I finally saw the Revolution, a legendary band. And I talked to Wendy!!!  In addition to seeing Prince, I have now lived life. Thank you Purple People!! | |

This song always puts me in a great mood. I'd love to see him perform Private Joy.
Private Joy, Let's Work, Controversy, Do Me Baby ~~~~

My 4th favorite song off of my 2nd favorite Prince album, so it's very very very high up on my favorte Prince song list. Such a sweet song, something Prince wouldn't really do again until Raspberry Beret. Chorus= one of the best hooks ever! "Until the end of time I truly Adore U"
"Scandalous! I'm talkin bout u n me" "Do Me Baby I said oh, oh oooooooooh" | |

"Controversy," the album, as a whole is very strong. It's in my top 5 favorite Prince albums.
But it has three AMAZING gems on it.
Controversy, Do Me Baby, and Private Joy. So yes, I will tip my hat to Private Joy. It's a funky little tune on an even funkier little album. "I never want to stop singing this song!" Prince in Montreal, 12/2/11, just before performing Purple Rain | |

I've always loved "Private Joy" and regard it as one of his finest songs. I've read that it was the very first song he used the Linn LM-1 on but if somebody on here could confirm that, I'd appreciate any confirmation. Another interesting connection to this song, is the uncanny similarity between this song and "Kelly's Eyes" by Andre Cymone. One was definitely influenced by the other. If he would play these kinds of songs, with Dr. Fink and the Linn LM-1, I would pay 1000.00 per ticket to experience this type of jam.No problem, no problem. All day every damn day. Please throw us some underdog bones in 2012 on the live tip. Flip the script! | |

And let's not forget Latoya's immortal cover heheh "So fierce U look 2night, the brightest star pales 2 Ur sex..." |

Hahaha she butchered that track! Its such an awful cover.
But other than that. I LOVE Private Joy. such a sweet little song that I simply can't sit still 2. |

I am a grown-ass woman - and that line still makes me blush every time. I mean if he did have sex he would break every rule Jehova's have regarding premarital sex so Prince is really just friends with them all anyway. | |
