(2001)"U Make My Sun Shine" is a song by Prince, released on
April 10 2001 . Theballad is a duet with guest vocalistAngie Stone , and was reportedly one of the tracks from Prince's canceled "High" album.The B-side, "When Will We B Paid?", is a
cover version of a 1970 song byThe Staple Singers , originally titled "When Will We Be Paid". While The Staple Singers' version is somewhat upbeat musically, Prince's take is a sparse number with lyrics delivered with sadness and anger. The music is almostdirge -like, but features a searingguitar solo to further emphasize the anger. The song concerns the mistreatment and lack of appreciations forblack people in theUnited States . Prince performed the song during his 2001 "Hit N Run Tour",segue ing it from "Purple Rain".Charts
