Dear Mr. C. , I really love your new mix!
Um… This is so cool! I just found about it today, and this is my first time visiting this website. I have followed Prince’s career from Day One, 40 years ago. You are my new favorite! Keep up the good work:)
It’s kind of messed up that the whole paisley park experience doesn’t get played here besides madhouse, the time and sheila. Just heard in this yearly music marathon that nah we ain’t gonna play Bria but u do realize prince wrote the music and lyrics right? Dont get it twisted I’m grateful 4 what yall do but when it comes 2 the taja sevelle, tony lemans , the three o’clock of the world, like prince said “oh wow thats dogged”
Perfect Funk radio ! Thanks

Is it all Prince all the time? If it is I’ll never change the station!!!!
It is all Prince daily, 6AM to noon and 6PM to midnight, however it is all Prince 24/7 for the month of June in honor of Prince’s birth month!💜💜💜 #DON’T4GET2DONATE
Thank you so much for the info at rapid speed!!
Update – you now have a choice between Prince 24/7 or Prince mixed in with the best funk music! 💜💜💜
Chris, you got me here crying while I’m working with all these sad songs; Condition Of The Heart just broke me down. Please play some upbeat jams 🙂
On this Princegiving I would like 2 thank Funkatopia 4 all da wonderful music u play and da Tuesday night shows by Christopher. 1 question,” The One,” da spoken word will it b played or have I missed it. I don’t know da year it was made.
Wow! Ya’ll are playing it right now! Thank u! Gotta correct myself tho, it’s called “One Song!”
Every time you play the slowed down version of Alexa De Paris it cracks me up, I didn’t understand it at first…I remember you mentioned this is how you heard it the first time. You’re playing it now and I’m dying LOL
Nice to meet you. Do you know the two Japanese super idols called KinKi Kids? Each of them is doing solo activities, but one of them, one of them, “TSUYOSHI DOMOTO” is doing a solo that centered with FUNK MUSIC. It’s the coolest music! His voice sometimes resonates with the pawful and sometimes. The guitar he plays, the bass, the keyboard is the best! He is cool and cute because he is an idle. I don’t think he’s over 40 years old. It’s really the best so I want the American people to know! Once you hear his voice, you’ll be a prisoner! Please listen to me!
The FUNK MUSIC of the “ENDRECHERI” solo solo by the Japanese super idol “KinKi Kids” is the best! Please listen to me! Thank you for your help.
Hi, Deborah here but I Makayla AKA:pal 💜🤣, purplearmyleader2021. I love what you do for the prince community but can we get what has been playing and what is playing now on the website please 💜
