Hands down the best song she ever did IMO. An absolute crime it flopped. Penned by Prince, it was the third single from her album 'The Lover In Me'. The dance mix did very well, but the song really deserves to be better known. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGlcROL6vW4 - Video |

This is a pretty good song. I liked this a lot more than her other songs. That dance mix is quite good. Prince's lyrics are really great. It's just so "Prince."
I actually discovered the original after I heard the cover Billie Myers (of "Kiss The Rain" fame) did. It was pretty good. Then I was told that it was a cover of the Sheena Easton song so I checked it out. I was pleasantly surprised.

Sheena Easton's greatest recording, I think. That bass, those lyrics, and her killer vocals. Well done, Prince. Why did you leave her in the first place? Oh yeah, Kim lol.

"101" definitely showed that great voice that was buried in a lot of ultra-poppy arrangements over the years. It was a natural follow up to stuff like "Sugar Walls" (which Prince also wrote, under a different pseudonym) and "U Got The Look". Would love to hear an updated remix!!

Definitely one of my favorites from Sheena! Well, I thought hardly anyone else knew of it. I had the cassette of the album "Lover In Me" and stumbled into this really, but it became my favorite on the tape. I only recently learned that it had been a club hit, or even that it was released. I still play it quite a bit and agree with all the comments about the lyrics and the vocal. Deserved to be VERY well-known.

I like 101, too.
Last November, I bought a copy of The Lover In Me (used, but still playable) from a store in the Atlanta area. (Yeah, I visited the ATL last November, and I even went there last month.)

Possibly in my Top 20 of all time, though I haven't sat down and calculated such a list yet. Here's another pseudonymous Prince song which should've been a bigger hit; I discovered it on NightTracks, about a year or so before 101 came out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU4dRbB29-A |

Amazing song and record. Probably one of the top 20 tracks that Prince has been involved with, which would be a very elite group. It's also far better than anything on the Batman and Graffiti Bridge records.

This Prince song was a great tune. Sheena nailed it. Surprised that this didn't do much on the charts.

Incredible. The production, lyrics and especially her vocal. Arguably her best single.
Had some great mixes as well. The Morales club mix is excellent. And Prince's Uptown mix is solid.
