About Diamonds and Pearls

"Diamonds and Pearls" is the title track of American musician Prince and the New Power Generation's 1991 album and was released as a single in November 1991 by Paisley Park and Warner Bros. The song is an upbeat ballad, given a rock edge with guitar and heavy drumming. It also features the vocals of NPG member Rosie Gaines. The ballad is an expression of love and not lust, as is the theme on some of the other singles from the album. It was a top-10 hit, reaching number one on the US Cash Box Top 100 and number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 as well as the top spot on the Billboard R&B chart. The pearls in the accompanying music video come from Connie Parente, a Los Angeles jewelry collector and designer.
