Subscribe: goo.gl/Q2kKrD
The Artist wrote many classic songs, but he also wrote songs for other artists like The Bangles, No Doubt, Cyndi Lauper and Sinead O'Connor. Prince definitely had more talent than he knew what to do with and it's showcased in songs like Nothing Compares 2 U, Manic Monday and many more.
For this list, we’re focusing on musical numbers that Prince wrote but became bigger hits by other artists. While he did play background instruments on some of the following tracks, the primary vocals were delivered by fellow pop singers.

Prince might be the most singularly talented person in the history of pop, rock and RnB. A true genius whose influence is far greater than people realize.
Yes no ghost writer. Real raw talent. Could make a song out of anything. Seen him on sesame street as a kid...pure talent
Yes the Purple one was a gift from God
You should check out Ester Dean. That girl wrote like everyone's song lol
Eric Clapton once said, " As long as Prince was alive, music was in good hands."
he really said it? Daaamn I didn't know this part he said about Prince, I know about the ,,best guitar player''. He was, once again, so damn right.👌👏👏👏
Prince wasnt that a great producer. He was a great musician and music creator.
But lots of his tunes could be covered for better renditions.
You cannot do that with mj tunes which were greatly produced and arranged.
Amazing since he was a massive racist.
Eric Clapton once said, "get the foreigners out and keep Britain white."
"Yes as long as Prince was, music was in the better hands"
People also forget he did the whole music for the first Batman movie with Jack Nicoleson as the Joker. Prince was a bad man. One of my favorite musicians.
That Batman movie was known for its soundtrack.
Puzzles me why Prince never played The Joker. He would have kilt it.
Dont forget he also WROTE EVERY SINGLE SONG AND PLAYED EVERY single instrument on his first album
First 3 albums, actually...
He was young hungry and had a lot prove.
Prince was a Genius, and I'm a hardcore Metalhead, not many of us will admit to that but the guy was one of the best musicians ever, Not long ago, When someone asked Eric Clapton what it was like to be the greatest guitar player in the world, he responded: "I don't know, ask Prince."
It was after BB King died recently they asked Eric Clapton how it felt to be the greatest living guitar player he said I dont know go ask Prince
Lionspride777 he played almost every musical instrument. He could've done an album alone...easily. That's CLASS.
An urban myth, never happened, either version.
@@debbieomi how do you know it never happened?
@@shozinryu4 Simple google search and four million other comments on this thread by people who did the same.
I miss Prince. He was so talented.
Missed him so much he was my favorite!
The man was proficient in over 30 instruments.......he makes musically talented people look like beginners.....
Was he died?
Gone way too soon! I’ll always miss him. Grateful to have seen him live twice though. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I know where was the best of tue best in the 80's
It's crazy how much Prince sounds like Prince. I knew most of these were his but even the ones I didn't know, you hear the first few chords and it's like, "Yup, that's him."
I can hear it now
Yupp... agree
Prince was full of an unrealistic number of great songs. He could do it all. Nobody will ever compare to him.
I got the sense that not only could he just sit down at a keyboard and create a masterpiece at any given moment but that he got bored with doing that.
Prince is even known to have learned Organ, Piano, Drums, Bongos, Bass and Rhythm Guitar, Harmonica, Flute, and Congas. Also contemplated as a guitar prodigy and a master of drums, percussion, bass, keyboards, and synthesizer. This music legend has composed and even played all the instruments for his first five albums.
Like Phil Collins although his strength was in drumming.
“Gogo Dancer” by Carmen Electra plays
Nothing compares to U is by far the greatest song and O’Connor’s voice took it to the next level.
@@gulmerton2758STOP WITH THE LIES O' CONNOR DIDN'T TAKE NOTHING TO THE NEXT LEVEL IF ANYTHING SHE MESS UP THE SONG PRINCE WAS THE ONE THAT TOOK IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL WHEN HE SING IT PERIOD CASE CLOSED.
@@deborahharrison7348 nah…. I don’t think so.
Prince said he couldn't sleep until a song is out of his head. He was constantly in the studio and all of his engineers was on call. If prince wanted to do a song 2am his engineer had to available
Did you ever hear the story about the time Jesse Johnson had to go over to his studio in the middle of the night when they were using actual reel track recording equipment lol.
@Honesty First you know nothing about recording huh?
@Honesty First Managed to pull up the link on using a cached version. web.archive.org/web/20180307232105/www.audiomediainternational.com/feature/susan-rogers-on-five-years-as-princes-staff-engineer
@Honesty First So yes... and no. Prince knew how to record as good as anyone else, and he would prep 'demos' that were very good quality. but he also hired the best producers and recording engineers in the business. check out some interviews with Sylvia Massey and others who worked with him. yeah, he knew his shit. yeah, he'd tell them exactly what he wanted and what recording techniques and gear to use most of the time. but he did still hire the best to do it. recording yourself is extremely tedious. recording others is genuinely fun. being recorded is reasonably fun. yes, he was able to record himself, and sometimes did... but usually he'd call in some help. it's just a lot to do.
@Honesty First I'd say that's true
Sinead O'Connor, "Nothing Compares 2 U" Will always stay through the test of time because it was made and sung from the heart❤️
She took that song to another level. It's timeless.
prince sang it better than bald o'connor
No other person can sing like that.
That song was a big hit in the USA. I remember it was #1 for several weeks. Yes...sung from the heart, as Sinead always did. She had a beautiful voice.
@@freestyle4solidglad? Really am v
I always think of two of the geniuses M J and Prince. Both went early but they will never be forgotten! Both made people happy all over our world!
Now, that's the TRUTH - Nothing but the
T R U T H!!❤❤
Prince ES MUCHO MEJOR
Que michale j
Prince GENIO
When BB King died recently, Eric Clapton was asked; "How does it feel to be the world's greatest LIVING guitarist?" Clapton replied, " I don't know, you will have to ask Prince."
He didn't say that btw.
Prince had talent, but I can show you at least a dozen or so current guitarists that are better, this does not even go back to the time between him and now and all the guitarist in between.
@Honesty First
Guthrie govan
Steve vai
Joe satriani
Yngwie malmsteen
Buckethead
Tommy Emmanuel
Andy Timmons
Rick Graham
Tom Quayle
John petrucci
Steve Howe
Mike Kenneally
And that was just 1 minute of thinking
Prince was an UNDER-RATED guitar player. As a pop musician, his guitar playing skill was often overlooked. But not even CLOSE to one of the greats. Great riffs? Sure. Good solid player? Yep. Anywhere near any of the above? Nope.
Yours truly,
A guitarist of 20 years
@@josephsikorski2313 that list.... its a joke right?
Urban myth. Clapton didn't say that .
"Prince was better than everyone at everything. Next question."
--Dave Grohl
I agree 💯💯💯
Yes, he was 😂Next question🏆
Michael Jackson- Next question!
Popular music is the lowest common denominator
hahaha just phenomenal! Absolutely love how this fact is expressed.👌👏💜
Prince was a musical masterpiece. I don’t think we’ll see another like him. RIP prince
He was probably Beethoven or Bach reincarnated. Lol.
Not with the musical influenced they shove down our throats now days. Nope. The world is being SUPPRESSED. So much talent out there that will never make it due to having too much control over their music and lives. You cannot have a major influence on this world without them having SOME kind of control over it. Unless we make them know who's really in charge. Call me crazy all you want too. I know.
@@johnbraucher1499WELL Prince sure let them know he was the BOSS of his music
Prince was a phenomenon, multi-instrumentalist, legend, genius, and artist. Prince was a guitarist, Clapton just plain guitar well. If they told be Prince wrote songs for Mozart I'd almost believe it.
Prince is, was , and will ALWAYS be everything.
Betcha by golly wow
Just like mj I agree with you
I doubt this
I suspect he would disagree . I think it likely he would give that honor to our Creator , as Prince was one of Jehovah's Witnesses
My musical deity, and it will never be bettered.
They didn't mention that in addition to Prince writing "I Feel For You", Chaka's version also had Stevie Wonder playing harmonica...
@Angel Ortega It wasn't mentioned because it's a cover song Prince performed on his first album
It’s there
It's there, 7:20ish
Wow thanks i honestly did not know tht
Or that the Pointer Sisters covered it first in 3 part harmony on their 82' album So Excited. My personal favorite version.
I know Watch Mojo has a history of thinking people are stupid. When 'Manic Monday' and 'Nothing Compares To You' came out, we all knew Prince wrote them. They reminded us on MTV and radio all the time.
I knew he wrote Nothing Compares, but not Manic Monday!
@@daniellamurphy6511 Maybe I watched too much MTV. The radio stations may not have talked about it as much.
Ah yes, when MTV still had the M in it
I went to see Prince in London - and all of a sudden in the middle of the show he began to sing "Nothing compares". I was so confused... That's when I learnt that he actually was thw author of the song.

Thank you for that. Btw it's Sheila E.
This list doesn't include Melisa Morgan's R&B Hit "Do Me Baby" & Tevin Campbell's R&B Hits "Round & Round" & "Shhh".
Prince the Oprah of music, you get a hit and you get a hit, and you get a hit.
Hennrik Karlsson Look under your chairs!!!!!
Well when Prince released I Feel For You it flopped. When Chaka released her version it was a hit
Hennrik Karlsson j
@@popmans9999 because he was always ahead of the times
The "Bruce Lee" of music.
Prince could do any style, any genre of music and do it marvelously. A true musical genius
RIP Prince. You are a musical legend!!!!
Prince was a musical genius.
I cried when I found out he passed away.
he was my favorite artist
me2 :(
People laughed at me when I said he was an even bigger genius than Mozart. I told them that Mozart didn't play as many instruments as Prince. Prince played every instrument on one of his albums. Prince could play guitar, piano, saxophone, bass, flute and drums and he played them all very well but he was probably best on the guitar. Prince also had a wonderful voice of multiple octaves, pretty rare. He also wrote thousands of songs, most are in a vault and may never be heard by the public. Motzart was great but I think Prince was greater, I wonder if Mozart could dance like Prince. Heh.
It's not JUST the number of instruments but the fact that he played them well enough to make hit songs. He played all the instruments on one of his albums and it was great. Dancing is a great thing and he did it well. You can see what great dancing is when you look at James Brown. Prince had many talents and a great voice too. But his mental genius is what made him truly great, he wrote thousands of songs, many that may never see the light of day.
Who didn't know that Prince wrote Nothing Compares 2 U? He talked about it all the time.
I couldnt agree more…..
And Prince was so humble he never spoke about this or gave himself credit for giving other's people's such success. There are many admirable things about rare gem and The Greatest Musical Genius of all time Prince forever remains, this one was just one small piece of many.
Manic monday and Sex shooter✊
Prince is the most underrated Artist i ever know, HE was the genius himself, professional without end!
THE BEST SUPER BOWL PERFORMANCE.....EVER!!!
I'm a Huge Springsteen fan...
Prince did it better..never forget it!!!!
Yes I agree I only saw it after he died as I live in Ireland 🇮🇪 but I'd have given my right arm to see that gig
Prolly best halftime show of all time --- even the rain showed up perfectly for His Purple Majesty !!
@@jerrybulger5267 probably. But I think lady gaga is at LEAST best female half time show performers if not absolute BEST overall, and I LOVE prince and acknowledge his genius
Prince looked like he was having so much fun. It's my favorite.
the organisers freaked when they realised it will rain-but Prince told them not to worry
As it is with most musical/artistic geniuses, he left us way too early. I have always held the theory that the depth of feeling it takes to create true genius oftentimes is too overwhelming. Exceptional artists feel more deeply, live inside their heads, use their pain, loneliness, loss, fear, to create beautiful art, but that same beauty is a poison which over time takes them from us.
Why life so damn paradoxical?
Eh?
People forget that this genius could write for others. I love Prince because he never stopped working hard with what Gad gave him. He was always trying to.impress the Lord with his work.
Thank God. Thank you, Prince
Round And Round is a Tevin Campbell song written by Prince that I love and listen to all the time. Prince actually sings on the track with Tevin.
oh I remember that song. My sister used to love Tevin Campbell...she forced us to listen to it on road trips every summer. definitely sounds like Prince :)
Some of these songs I didn't even know there were covers for, and I only knew of Prince's own recorded version (When You Were Mine, How Come You Don't Call Me Anymore, I Feel For You). Great list (even though #1 was obvious).
I'm willing to argue that Prince was the greatest songwriter of his generation.
Prince or Jim Steinman. I go with Jim, but I love PSYCHOTIC music. Prince had a lot of psychotic music too, just not quite as psychotic.
Jeff Lynn (ELO and The Traveling Wilburys) was a pretty prolific song writer as well. He wrote many great hits for many great artists over the years. Google him!
It amazes me that the general public on the most part do not realise how long Prince had been around for. He had been writing and doing sessional work back in the 70's.
Purportedly in his vault is enough music to release an album a year being exhausted in the next millenium; that's the year 3000 people. I think 60 minutes did the story. Imagine 12 songs/yr for 9 hundred more years - OMG staggering GOD focus!!
Y'all forgot Nasty Girl by Vanity 6! Good song! 😘📷💃🏾🔥🔥
My mom was a very pious woman and thought the lyric was "Nestea girl". That was a popular brand of tea at the time. I'm not kidding.
There s great story behind Prince and Vanity behind this song...
+MissEbone305 Fun fact: "Nasty Girl" was supposed to be the song that the girl Trash was strip dancing to in the cemetery in the movie Return Of The Living Dead. However they changed it and made it Stacy Q's "Make Love Til We Die" instead.
MissEbone305 I agree!
Is that the group Michelle was in prior to being a judge on Rupauls Dragrace?
Prince was truly amazing in so many ways!
He also wrote the keyboard into to "Stand Back." Stevie Nicks said when she called and asked him he came right to the studio and wrote it in like10 minutes. He's not credited on the album though.
Jenifer Lynne why wasn’t he credited???
Lulee Tomas He was credited as a co writer instead
It
@@antoniojohnson8443 He owns 50% of the song, I cant remember whether or not he went under an alias on that song
He wasn't credited because at the time he was just the artist formerly known as Prince so he had no name to be credited under.👻 y'all buy that?😂
Never ever ever ever be another artist like him
There will never be anyone in his lane! He will always be the greatest!
When Prince died, I moved up one in World rankings. I played bands and solo gigs for 60 years and I never once played one of his songs. In tribute, I now sing and play "When Doves Cry". He was one of the best. I think you might need to be a musician/singer to realise how really good he was.
Being a huge Prince fan like I am, I can always hear a song and know he wrote it just based on the feel of it
PRINCE was way ahead of his time !!! R.I.P PRINCE we will never forget The Music you gave us all !!!
He was truly unique. He had a very rough life and I think that's why he got a little odd toward the end, too much tragedy. His guitar was really astounding.
He was one of the most underrated musical genius ever!
No he definitely gets the credit he deserves by anyone slightly interested in music.
Most realize this.
Musical genius I agree. But underrated? Come on. The guy was loved worldwide.
Underrated? He was universally well received
Prince was absolutely one of the greatest writers and singer and talented guitarist ever💜 R.I.P. Beautiful Prince 🙏🏽🕊💜💜
Prince was capable of composing a no. 1 in 9 minutes and then make pancakes for everyone. And I'm not sure if it really took him that long.
The man's throwaway guitar licks floor me.
Prince left a legion of good music.r.i.p.march2022.
Never heard of an artist to hit number 1on billboard and the song he wrote for somebody else was number 2,That's crazy genius level to accomplish that
Has been done, but maybe not in the US ;-)
and he had the 1st single, 1st album and top bpx office film by Purple Rain (When Does Cry)
One of the best artist who EVER blessed us with his unmatched talents ❤rest in eternal peace 🙏🏽
"I Feel for You" Should've been #1
I legitimately didn't know that song was a cover.
Same! Manic Monday 2.
wow the man was so talented.God Bless
Cliffside Records loo
Cliffside Records y
I love how sophisticated people were in the 80s. Artists presented ART. No nudity, no profanity. They had real talent, needed to fake nothing to cover up their shortcomings...
If you love Prince you knew this, I know everything he wrote!!!
This reminds me of Michael Jackson saying if he doesn’t record his song ideas god will give them to prince, lol and I guess I’m just realizing they are both witnesses.
Amen to that
Jehovah witnesses?
@@howtodoitdude1662 as far as I know, both of their mothers are long time witness.
Also Selena Q's mother.
I remember them both saying that about each other
One understated talent I personally appreciated by Prince is that his songs had a powerful first lyric...."Dig you will of a picture, of you and I engaged in a kiss." or "She always wears a long coat of mink..even in the summertime." or "There's a place where I come from called...Heaven." and many more. Good Stuff! I know he was heavily influenced by singer-poetess Joni Mitchell.
Indeed the best. The Beethoven of modern music. R.I.P Prince.
I still remember the day they called me down to escort a VIP to MJ's private dining room I nearly fell to the ground when I turned the corner and standing right in front of me Prince so amazingly beautiful and dressed to the beat of his own drum. Prince your music made me love me. I am truly blessed to have met all that is you .....your music ,u & me forever
So lucky to have met two legends
Prince was a monster of talent. Cannot let him be forgotten. Nothing compares to you, Prince!
Prince also did the keyboard music for Stevie Nicks' song "Stand Back" in 1983
Stevie Nicks tried to write Stand back using Little red corvette for the music, so she called prince to ask his permission, he said wait.. no.. and they got together and he changed it up a bit for her to use.
And featured on some instruments in "Why Should I Love You?" by Kate Bush
DAMN!!! I knew that song has Prince's sound!
You can hear him in all of them though right?!
Halpin2006 'izzatafact *?! 🤔
What's crazy is that listening to all these songs, I can so feel Prince's input in all of these songs on the style side of the game
“When you were mine”, was such a great song. Loved it by both artists!
"How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore" was a Top Ten R&B hit for Stephanie Mills before Alicia Keys got a hold of it!
Terry Jones That's right!
I did not know that. Thanks!
Exactly!
i remember the song being big in the black community when he released himself first too, played a lot on soul slow jam nightlies..... the original was IT for me!
Yeah I forgot all about that
# 1 deserved it, R.I.P. #Prince, you're 1 of the greatest musicians.
Did u also know when they mentioned "With This Tear", they actually played "Water From The Moon"?
Not forgetting " Martika's Kitchen", Great track also written by Prince, released by Martika in 1991
Prince wrote “nothing compares 2 u” for chris Cornell. He just didn’t know it at the time. If you haven’t heard that I suggest you do so immediately!!!!! Now chris can sing it for him all the time. R.I.P. to the greats.
even tho I wasn't alive when he started. I grew up from 03 listening to him.❤ love prince so much! rest in peace. he had a huge impact on my father and my relationship. that's one of the things me and my dad got along about. Prince is now forever the heart of me and my father. thank you to that amazing singer.
Still so prolific in his final years. In the last 2 years (2014-2015) he released 4 albums, each a different genre of music, and produced & wrote tracks on Judith Hill's album Back In Time
Check out Sheena Easton's 'Cool Love.' Talk about a great song written by Prince. It has to be my favorite.💜
You can always tell a Prince song. That style is unmistakable.
There are very few singers alive today that can touch Patti Labelle vocally, she is a legend !
B
Yassssss!!!
Jessica Sanchez, to name one.
Fantasia puts in work!
My mom bought me her albums. I am definitely an 80s lady. I still love Prince and the songs he wrote. I never knew he wrote for other artist but I can definitely see him in these songs
The word 'genius' is one of the most prostituted modern expressions around; everyone from a mediocre child star to a certain super clown has been referred to as a genius! And yet the title of 'genius' is hardly adequate to describe Prince's incomparable musical inspirations, instrumental, virtuosity, lyrical mastery and overall showmanship.
Agreed. When U can blow away the Bands U R constantly around, with not only Ur tireless workmanship, but Ur mastery of the music, the lyrics & Ur vocalization? U know U The Man! He wuz a master of the crafts he endeavored 2 pursue. Fo' sho!
Very well said.. and even this isn't the true credit he deserves. I just wonder wht is in his vaults.... What would he have released when he was in his 90's and needed cash. What are the songs that he threw away... thinking they weren't good enough. It's one thing to be a genius... and yet another to be a prolific genius.
Who is the mediocre child to a super clown you talking about ?Name names you coward .You know the backclsh is coming at you .
@@reinemazidath5466 are you genuinely gonna miss the point by that kind of distance? Jesus Christ.
NothingMaster- the point is, he was a genius.
That's a great list, and all good songs... but my fav tune that he wrote for someone else is still Jungle Love ~ Morris Day & The Time. such a fun tune!
Prince is my, the most revered artist of all time. One of my bests . Though Martika did write m a poem to Love m, thy will be done, and the verse. It’s technically her song. The industry did affect her. Never to be heard from again… She was an incredible artist.
What happened to martika?
To be able to write for an artist, the era of music and its genre it takes a very gifted person to do so. Prince was just that person.
Yo mister was my favorite Patti label song during the late 80s.... Prince sure knew how to write songs that will touch your soul
Super Bowl 2022 required multiple singers to carry a halftime show. Prince was a solo act.
Such a wide variety of artists. I loved Prince but I had no idea he wrote all these.
Now do top ten Prince songs.
Ikr I've been wanting them to do that for like a year now
You mean top 1000
You already know that it'll be wrong, but at least it might share what Prince songs people could start on
Wont happen, due to legal issues with his music being published.
It would be better to do one for the 80's, the 90's, the 00's, & the 10's separately
WOW, what a Mind and a pen!!! You are missed!
I agree with You , You will be missed little genius.
Somehow I can hear Prince's guitar vividly playing in every songs
Meli'sa Morgan Do Me Baby. Huge R&B song.
So glad someone else remembered it too....
Manic Monday makes so much sense now. It would’ve really been nice to hear him sing this! Wow
Prince you were a musical GENIUS may you RIP Brother we love ya babe
My husband is a HUGE Prince fan, he probably knows just about every album, song, even lyrics. BUT he didn't know about the song Prince wrote and sang with Madonna for the movie Happy Feet.
That Sheila E song has ALWAYS sounded like a Prince song!
So true, prince is all over this song
Yes. And we all knew Prince’s protege was Shelia E. I loved Glamorous Life! 🥰
He actually wrote the Glamorous Life for SheeNA E but she was busy(??) so he gave it to SheeLA E. I’ve seen her perform w/Prince, w/her dad Pete Escovido and alone and she’s phenomenal! Meet her in SJ. And the last time I saw Prince a cpl yes b4 he left us. So miss him.
Know matter who is singing you can tell immediately that it was written by Prince
Shun pickett
I agree completely
@@roypickett1374 yep! Him and babyface! Every artist sounds like them on the songs they write!
Jungle love
Real Prince fans knew all these. I did and I bet I am not alone. What about TLC cover of "If I Was Your Girlfriend" on the Crazy Sexy Cool album?
Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ecirdo81 Welcome
Or TLC's cover of Get it up..
Tina Elevation Makes sense
They were too dumb to know Stephanie Mills did " How Come U Don't Call " first back in 83' so, the posters of this video must've acquired knowledge about most of these songs, probably after his death and not from a very good source either.
#1 is one of my all time favorites & I did not know he wrote that I'm hearing with him in mind....
and it really does sound like something he created
💜☂️
I saw Prince in Austin at Armadillo in 1976.
Surreal
"Do Me Baby" by Melissa Morgan
Dwayne Richardson Smh....as I was watching this, I was hoping Meli'sa was mentioned
Fo Sho! 1 of my fav covers of his songs. I actually like it much better than his version. But his 1st 2 Albums R still among my favez.
Everyone identifies that as a Prince song.
He sang that song in the late 1970s
Yeah they missed that one big time
Music has gone from the soul to the ego.
Amen to that, toxic. That is so true.
👍🏼
Music has been shyt for decades only the originals are Viable unlike the song buyn bytches get fakn creative not just rip off somebody or rehash some legend's songs come up with ya own shyt u Hackx
So has real actual life
We can thank the industry, primrily the record labels, for that crap.
Prince's version of Nothing Compares To You is AMAZING! You gotta check it out if you haven't yet.
My favorites that Prince wrote for other artists are anything he wrote for the Time, Nothing Compares, and Manic Monday.
Prince is right up there with Lennon/McCartney. with his songwriting chops, is known as a genius guitar player, & his vocals are right up there with the best of them. IMO he should be remembered as maybe the most talented musician ever. I am older, & my tases vary. The closest artist I can come up with that compares to Prince would be Hank Williams Sr.
I believe if you do your homework Prince surpassed those to artist no disrespect to them
Correction, he's much better than all of those....but I'm so glad you didn't say the Beatles, because as a group they were simply awful, as individual performers however, much better.
Don't be ridiculous.
They ain't got nothing on Prince
He was in a league of his own. There's really no comparison. ♥️
I miss Prince he was so talented.
Do Me Baby was also a huge R&B hit for Meli'sa Morgan back in the 80s. Prince was prolific. He was a truly gifted dude. Many of his writings/songs were never published. Sad that he died so young.
What have u done for me lately & Screams of Passion were also wrote by Prince. He wrote Sheila E first album, Tevin Campbell's & The time among others also.
Prince is the real GOAT! This is only a small portion of his work for others!
I feel like we all know that The Glamorous Life was by prince.
PRINCE: "THE GREATES PRODIGY IN ROCK HISTORY". PERIOD.
I'd be honored if some Prince fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of PURPLE RAIN and DIAMONDS & PEARLS on my YT channel in tribute to the greatest songwriter/producer/multi-instrumentalist of all time. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and RESPECT to the genius of Prince.
Prince was the man!! Yes. OMG so amazing!!!
