notes
A layered string/pad wash sits behind the vocal and rhythm section, swelling slowly rather than tracking the beat. Built on the 1978-79 debut era keyboard rig (ARP Pro-Soloist, Oberheim Four-Voice, ARP String Ensemble (Prince's own early rig, pre-Linn)), it gives the funk/R&B arrangement its harmonic bed without competing for space.
