What other songs has Prince written for other people

I know that he wrote glamarous life for Sheila, Sugar walls for Sheila E, and Love thy will be done, has he written anything else for anyone?

He's written numerous songs for others. The list is quite long. I'm sure someone here will have the time to list them for you.

I'll never forget the day my friend learned that Prince wrote "Manic Monday" I was playing Apple 6's version of it, and I guess it had hit her really late, cuz suddenly she bolted up and yelled "PRINCE WROTE MANIC MONDAY???" lol

Manic Monday was actually written for Apollonia 6 and ended being given to Bangles.

Prince played all the instruments and can be heard on backing vocals. Great song with the only artist that even approaches his level of genius.

i can see why people would think that but prince only contributed backing vocals..im serious, the engineer who was working with prince at the time gave a really detailed interview on how the collaboration came about.....you should check it out...
