Prince covering Sweet Thing

I really like it when Princes covers Sweet Thing (Chaka Khan song) He did it also on that Musicology Programme and i do hope he releases it on one of his future albums cuz i think he does a really good job and its obvious he loves the track nod

P.S has he ever recorded it in a studio or is it on any bootlegs?

At the Vegas aftershow on 2/9/07, Shelby sang Sweet Thing. During the second verse, she came over and took my hand - and we sang it together. Definitely one of the coolest things that's ever happened to me at a Prince show. cool

There does exist a studio recording of the song and it is from very early on in princes career. Seek the geeks for more detailed info.

Im not sure if the version you are talking about is actually a studio recording but more like he recorded it straight to a tape recorder.
Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!

In a studio? lol I know no more than what i wrote previous. It would mean pulling out Testament to get a date on it. Im sure Boris or the like could give everybody here the specifics they require.

i like when p does this song nod. i've been digging on his 2006 (?) bet awards performance, where yolanda adams sings the song and p comes in at the end with a soaring solo guitar headbang touched.
