Prince – When Doves Cry – original video. For background information and academic links, go to the Reading pages.
Here’s an interesting 1996 Timbaland-produced cover version by Ginuwine that uses a different underlying groove, taking a different approach from what Don Traut (2005) describes as “3-5″ accent hook (note the lack of syncopation in the drum loop compared to Prince’s original).
