Records.

The lyrics for “Dolphin” find Prince exploring spirituality and the idea of reincarnation, and the video depicts him in a similarly reflective mood, perched on a satin bed with his iconic gold symbol guitar as members of the NPG perform behind him. The video for “Dolphin” was released on September 30, 1994, almost a full year before The Gold Experience, and made history as the first video to be played on VH1 Europe. The video was later offered as a download to subscribers of Prince’s pioneering NPG Music Club in 2001, released as part of the NPG Music Club Edition #11. #Prince #TheGoldExperience #pop #funk
