THE STORY
“Money Don’t Matter 2 Night” was issued as a later single from Diamonds and Pearls in early 1992. The song’s thoughtful lyrics about the emptiness of materialism, delivered over a smooth, mid-tempo groove with strong live band energy, showcased the maturing sound of Prince and the New Power Generation. This European 12" edition paired the album version with “Push” and the non-album track “Call The Law,” providing fans with additional material from the Diamonds and Pearls sessions.
