This is easily my favourite Sheila track.
"I'm in love! I'm in love! I'm in love with the belle of Saint Mark!"
You dont get songs like THAT in the charts anymore. :(

During my first year in college I heard this song. I had no idea what the hell this song was talking about. Did Prince compose this song?

I love this track.
And yes, it was composed by Prince. Although he doesn't take credit for it in the liner notes.

The Belle Of St. Mark reached #34 around Christmas of 1984 but when top 20 in Britain the following year.

And the song peaked at #23 on the R&R chart during the last chart week of December, 1984.
I thought it was a pretty decent song, but if it had done better on the charts, I have a feeling I would have started finding it annoying, especially the chorus.

It sounds so Prince. I really do not like this song at all.

It still sounds like she's talking about a gigolo (who's homeless) to me lol, and this is definitely a Christmas-sounding song production-wise. |

THE JOINT. Sheila in her prime was all things good and right. Mad props to Prince for lifting her up the way he did. They were dynamite together.
