The Soul Children wont get a dime from the thousands of downloads of their song. #screwdriver lol!

That's a good point. The Soul Children won't get a dime before the song isnt for sale, but if any other artist recorded a cover of a Prince tune, would he take legal action or make a snide remark about the cover (i.e. Lopez Tonight). It surely would be ironic if Stax Records or Soul Children pursured legal action against Prince.

All things said, this is a very soulful rendition, backed by 3RD EYE GIRL. They surely have grown as as players since January.


Isaac Hayes and David Porter wrote and produced the song for Stax Records. The Stax catalog from 1968 to 1975 is now owned by Concord Records - which (possibly along with Hayes and Porter as songwriters) would get a share of royalties from a cover.

The Soul Children were performers. They get nada from a cover.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

He only allowed that girl to post the song with ONE idea in mind: that we'll publish the link here, so he could say it wasn't oficial after all, sur the Org and shut it down. He tried that strategy countless times but the mods won't ever fall for it ^^

^ yes a little strange, when U think about that..


I really appreciate this song though... never mind Prince's double standards when it comes to cover-songs..

It's ok for him to cover other artists, but forbidden for others to cover his material... strange double standard...


EXACTLY!!! Prince for your double standards / two face arse fishslap hammer brick

If somebody gives you a gift, you can either be thankful, or indeed, demand more.

It's apparently not that easy to be content with what you get.

And here is my gift to you...see a shrink.



99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%.

Madonna did a cover in 1995 of the Marvn Gaye classic "I Want You":

The original was a pile of shit with corn in it...Madonna's took out the cornn bit it remained a pos. That's the long, complicated way ofnsqying I think its a shit song, no matter who sings it.

-------- Some people have no taste whatsoever. No sane person could think this cover was good. I know some of you hate RnB but come the fuck on. eek
