Just check the credits: David Henry Hwang (Solo), Sheena Easton (La,La,La...), Sandra St. Victor (Soul Sanctuary)

This is true in some cases, but the information you are supplying is not reliable.

The details you are supplying here are the names of people who are registered with a writing credit. In some cases, that might be because they truly did contribute to the composition of the song.

In other cases, it might simply be because Prince chose to gift the credit. As a result of this, the co-writer might then be able to assert rights to royalties resulting from copying, publication or performance of the composition or its recording.

In the case of 'Soul Sanctuary', the song, 'Sanctuary', was originally co-written by Sandra St Victor together with Tom Hammer (who produced an original recording) and Johnny Kemp, before St Victor shared the compostion with Prince, who 'developed' the material. The original copyright registration at the Library of Congress was amended in 1998 to recognise the original writers and credit those contributing to the emergent compostion.

Oh wow, you mean Johnny Kemp of "Just got Paid" fame helped pen the original Soul Sanctuary?

To add to the list, "Hide the Bone", "Somebody's Somebody" and "Money Don't Matter 2night" give cowriting credits to others. I'm not sure about the details though.

I know Rosie Gaines is given credit for contributing on the latter. Does anybody know if she helped with the music or lyrics?

Of course. Dez Dickerson wrote the lyrics to "Cool". Did Prince add any more lyrics, like the call and response or what?
