Who remade Adore?
I adore is from a old group back in the 60's Prince remade that song he didn't change anything!

Get outta town! You got a link to the original song?


I asked for a link to the original song but I got no answer.
So does any one know if there is some truth to this?

That's why too much to filter through. Next time, whittle it down a bit. Prince didn't remake anything. If would have come out way before now if it was someone else's song.

Prince remade all of his Warner Bros songs. But Adore from Sign O The Times is written by Prince.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

Depends on what you mean by "remade".

If someone is implying that Prince didn't write Adore, and it's actually a
cover version... then they're wrong.

If they're saying that Prince re-recorded it himself, then yeah, he probably did.
However, if this is the case, it's NOT circulating (other than live versions)

If they're saying that someone else has covered Adore, then yeah, it's
certainly been covered by other artists over the years.

I really can not fathom this, a song that has lyrics like "Maybe not the ride" could not exist in the 60s, its strictly 80s and 90s slang for a car. Also the melody, flow and style indicates a Prince original and I think the music of the 60s had not reached that point yet. This song can't be anything but Prince gold.
So what are u going 2 do? R u just gonna sit there and watch? I'm not gonna stop until the war is over. Its gonna take a long time

I have never heard any old song that sounds like Adore.

I do know for a fact, however, that Prince used the music from Adore for Carmen Electra's "All That."
