"Come 'N' Get It" because this album showed me that he had the potential to become a superstar in the music business. "Garden Of Love" showed his natural versatility. Most of his albums that I have heard, I fell in love with, at least a few songs on each one :-) :-) :-) ...

I like the handclaps in money talks....I dont know what it is but I always compare this track to the bar-kays traffic jammer but rick had a tighter beat with money talks.

I just found Come get it lp at the goodwill yesterday and was listening to that record all day the other day and I really like the pocket rhythm on Be my lady, hollywood, sexy lady, and especially the chicken grease guitar on you and I because Prince ate that up in the 80s.
