I was working for security and I watched him play this song for 2hr, he performed for two hours and only played one song.

[@renejreeves]

Amazing! What they created.

[@1retdGI]

@@renejreeves would have loved to have been there. would have been there for 2 hours in AWE. Great Vibes.

[@RoofinRealityU]

Rene, Huh? Really?

[@SHARKVADERS]

PRINCE!!!!!!!

[@walterpreston9663]

Hmmmmm. I wonder if I should just put this on repeat for the day👾

[@garyreid2178]

I had the album when it came out. I remember hearing 10 on the radio. I immediately tried to find out what the group was. Where does one go if they want to find a song or the name of the group behind it? New York City. I went to a few record stores in Times Square and Greenwich Village. I hummed a few bars of 10 to an older employee who claimed he knew. He told me it was DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince. I was excited to listen to the album, but it wasn’t what I thought. But, I did enjoy the album because it was a fun album. I went to Greenwich Village and discovered Tower Records. The staff there was knowledgeable and they found Madhouse 16. I went home and I listened. I really had a great time listening to this album. I had loaned the album to my sister, who left it in her car on a hot day. The album warped. I looked for a CD but it costs a paycheck. I might get up the funds to purchase the CD, one day.

[@RoofinRealityU]

The entire album is pure funk jazz.

[@kareemwalton1289]

THAT'S TOO MUCH FUNK I LOVE IT.

I'm certain The Artist 🎸 must have played some 🎹 🎤 Solos that were Amazing

[@willpatterson3917]

And It was all just an experiment!! Prince made 3 Madhouse Albums to get a response from MILES..... LMAO TRUE STORY.

[@deborahbennett442]

I had both of the Madhouse recordings. I loved them so much then as I do now.

[@kareemwalton1289]

I DO HAVE IT ON CD AND RECORD AND CASSETTE TAPE

[@wilco1119]

I remember buying both vinyls when they were released then I bought this CDs I won them in a bid on eBay. Sadly I lost both CDs. But as soon as I get a chance I will get them again and the vinyl again. Yes those two where in my Paisley Park collection right along with Jill Jones, Taga Seville, Mazarati, Sheila E. and of course PRINCE..

[@WilfridAgboton]

Prince and Eric Leeds mostly!love this Madhouse concept!

[@Rashy225]

Everything about this instrumental is great. That baseline is killer. One of the funkiest instrumentals I’ve ever heard and that’s saying something. 🔥

[@brianinglis3805]

"The best instrumental" ??? Let's be honest this is an unimaginative generic track. Have you not heard Alexa De Paris? Now that's an instrumental.

[@musicnerd72]

[@trevisaustin01]

This sound more like drum program...I like it, but maybe Sheila did or helped with drum machine

[@Randyg1959]

"And then they tried to take advantage of her" Baby Doll House. Pure unadulterated FUNK!!!
