Solos by others

On rare occasions, Prince has featured solos by others on a studio track. I'm thinking specifically of solos on Prince's primary instruments: guitar, keys, and bass.

What do you think of these instances? And can we list all of them?

Here are the ones I can think of:

1. Head, Dr. Fink -- absolutely brilliant futuristic solo

2. Little Red Corvette, Dez Dickerson -- really nice solo, fits the sing well

3. Sexy MF, Tommy Bobbarella and Levi Seacer Jr. -- Levi's solo is great, kind of jazzy. Tommy's solo is just ok.

4. Dreamin' About U, Rhonda Smith -- a nice fluid solo, sets a great mood

5. She Spoke 2 Me, Leavi Seacer Jr. -- another great jazzy solo

That's about all that comes to mind. I suppose there is also Donna on the 3rdEyeGirl track which is ok.

Great as he is, I can't think of studio release where Sonny T solos.

Another one for Tommy Bobbarella, Endorphinemachine, a very short solo I think.
