Still my favorite cover of this! Too bad the intro was left out where she introduced maceo parker and said it's a song by a local fella... A very purple man

Very,very few artist do a contribution when covering Prince. This one delivers. Stunningly beautiful.

One of my very favorite songs/Prince covers by the ever amazing Ani

When u were mine makes me think of when HE was ours💜

Ani with Maceo Parker. Fabulous live version.

Beautiful. My favorite rendition of one of the all time great heartbreak songs.

This is a wonderful rendition 💜

I listen to this every year in April

What a beautiful person.

Decent version,better then many others I have heard.

it is from a show on the 99 tour with maceo. i think the band (incl maceo on sax!) were closing with this at times... what a treat ugg

Beautiful!

Jesus Christ, spell her name right. It's ANI DIFRANCO!!! Dayum.

Bright eyes covered this on the people's key ep that's what made me come back to this after so many years but ani has the better version!

Incredible ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Best I can tell, it was a 1999 tour that Maceo guested on. The version I have on my harddrive is clearer and has an intro by Ani on it bringing Maceo to the stage. Same era when Maceo, Ani, and Prince all guested on each other's albums and toured with each other.

Also, in the version I have, it's likely a Minneapolis date, and on the encore. She describes it as being written by "A local fella, a very purple man."

It came from an earlier Prince album. Dirty Mind album. Released in 1980. Written by Prince, of course.

jonceramic - I recently watched a video of Ani telling the story of when she first met Prince, which was after one of her MN shows in 1999 or 2000. Maceo was touring with her at the time. Prince pulled up in his Limo and asked her to meet him at PP to record something. She cancelled her plans to leave MN that day in order to go to PP. This is a beautiful rendition of his song. First time hearing her play it.

'Maceo!' - some guy in the audience

Sven Jansen I think it's because she's dueting with Maceo Parker. I think that's his name.

It is spelled DiFranco. If you're going to post it, do one second of editing.
