Songs that sound like Prince wrote them

Now I'm not just talking about songs that have a Princey influence or vibe to them, I mean songs that really sound like his work being covered by another artist.

I heard 'Waterfalls' by TLC yesterday and I think it falls into this category. Likewise 'Sexual Revolution' by Macy Gray and 'Untitled' By D'Angelo. Anyone got any more?

Sheila, Oh Sheila, lemme love you til the morning comes...
Ready 4 The World

And Word Up and Candy by Cameo

I Touch Myself

I was thinking about The Divinyls too, "Need You Tonight" by INXS

Kaah: "Dom tittar när jag dansar" sounds like prince "Dirty mind" and "controversy" era a lot. It's a great track sung in swedish. download it now!

Hmmm,

Listen to Control by Janet Jackson. I always thought that sounds remarkably like da man. [and yes I know that Jummy and Terry used to work with Prince].

'Infatuation' by Laurnea

BIG TIME!!!

*peace*

Om

The track 'Party People' by Alex Gopher (is sort of an hommage to P), and lots of Romanthony tracks sound exactly like Prince

IN MY HOUSE

By The Mary Jane Girls

And lots of Neptunes tracks. I'm a slave 4 u by Britney.

U Can't Touch This

By

MC Hammer

How does it feel by Deangelo

--If a man is considered guilty for what goes on in his mind, then give me the electric chair for all my future crimes.-- Electric Chair/Batman/Prince

Beck: "Peaches & Cream" and "Debra" from the "Midnight Vultures"-Album

Lamb, 'sweet'has a Prince vibe.

***"Run To Me" by Angela Bofill (1987)---Sounds alot like "Erotic City".

***"I Promise You" by Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam(1987)---It's well known that producers Full Force were huge Prince fans,and many of their productions borrowed heavily from the Minneapolis Sound.This song is a prime example.

***"Old Flames Never Die" by Full Force (1986)---Ditto

***Anything on Ready For The World's first two albums

***"I Need A Freak" by Sexual Harassment (1983)

***"I Want Your Body" by Madame X (1987)---producer Bernadette Cooper even does that "aaaooowwwaaahhh" thing on this song! Sounds like a Vanity 6 outtake.

Sex Machine by James Brown.

"Still A Thrill" - Jody Watley
"My Heart Belongs To You" - El Debarge
"Shalom" - Terrence Trent D'arby

"Do you really wanna touch it"

"Try Again" by Aaliyah - 4 some reason I've always envisioned Prince singing on that.

When I read the title of this thread I thought of Waterfall by TLC too.
Also, Waterfall by Wendy and Lisa (different song, but equally Prince influenced),
What Have You Done For Me Lately by Janet Jackson (When Prince performed it on the Nude Tour he asked "Who wrote that?" !?)

That JLo song "Hey DJ play that song cuz...blah blah".

Beck did a live gig on VH1 a couple yrs ago that was a complete ripoff of Prince.
I don't really mind if artists copy Prince but they should give him credit for it when they do.

"Lemon" by U2

"Supersoulfighter" by lenny kravitz

Some of Toni Braxton's songs sound like Prince wrote/produce 'em.

Love is just like the faucet
It turns off and on
Sometimes when you think it's on baby
It has turned off and gone
