What Prince songs have the most gospel feel to them?

Not necessarily lyrically but more so vibe wise.Listening to U Make My Sunshine right now inspired this question.Dark is another one that quickly comes to mind.

I was just going to say that.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

willing and able (until Tony M starts 'rapping')
The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.

While great songs with a definate spiritual feel,I wouldn't reaaly put Anna Stesia or 7 in this particular category.Maybe Purple Rain and even Another Lonely Christmas.

The Word

Willing and Able..most definitely

Man of War (Remix) (actually has more of a soulful feel)

Wading in the water (an old spiritual)
(I heard this at a friend's house, I think he sung it with Patti Labelle, don't know if it was something he released or a boot, but I heard it)


Down by the Riverside (cover he sang at 3121 according to fans who attended the shows and heard him sing it recently) - definitely spiritual

The Cross

Get on the Boat

Yeah,Prince opened up the Controversy tour shows with it.It's a short gorgeous lil' accopella number with a strong gospel influence.

Alot of his songs with Mavis Staples have a gospel feel to them too.
