Dude, come on. There used to be someone who had a huuuuuge Excel sheet with thousands of covers listed. http://www.whosampled.com...e/covered/ only scratches the surface.

Mitch Ryder doing "When You Were Mine" is cool-ish. Also, didn't Warren Zevon or someone do a version of "Raspberry Beret"?


Warren Zevon sang lead on Hindu Love Gods' version of "Raspberry Beret." The rest of the band consisted of three members of R.E.M.

.

Was the only song they rehearsed (played it once) before recording. Rest of them was directly to tape.

Although I prefer Prince's version, I really like Mariah's cover of 'The Beautiful Ones'.

The worst version! (sisqo on top of that!?)

Thanks to this link I just found there´s a Richard Cheese´s version for Pussy Control. I´m always curious about his versions.

Chaka's version of I feel for you was good..
With all the tributes etc.. I've come to realize more than ever..He was so good that everyone is a cheap imitation..I can't think of 1 artist out there that has half his talent.

Thats the Thing isnt it ?.

The more we get to know..the more previously hidden videos we get to see, the more its apparent

HE stands as the worlds greatest manipulator of the material energy we have ever seen.

THis man had the ability to "Manifest" the workings of his mind into three dimensional form as art, using a paintbox of "Colours" many of which we had never seen before.

I truly believe with all my heart that Prince had a Luster we all wish we had.

The Connection to "source"energy which was exhibited by his ability to withstand days without sleep and little food, indicates that he was being "Fed" by something we know exists , but have barely personally touched upon in our own lives.

WHatever that "thing is" Prince was connected to it, and we know it !

To me, Princes philosophy is one of the Future. Its a Relevant to the times, a way of centering yourself and bridging that gap between yourself and Divinity..

Its a Religion that had God at the Centre and always did have.

All of this and more
Is for U
With love, sincerity and deepest care
My life with U I share

1978

WHether he was talking to God or US, is debatable...

but what is clear is that he saw himself as a vessel who had the obligation to share

Thats what made him humble in the end...

Despite his Regal air, Prince saw himself as a servant of God and was prepared to work hard to gains Gods attention.

Maybe this is what we all have to do to find our Way Home ?

I recently came across Darren Hayes's cover of I Wish U Heaven. I love Darren's voice so I thought it was okay.

I'm not a human
I am a dove
I'm your conscious
I am love
All I really need is to know that
You believe
