I would have loved to have heard the product of a Prince and Lenny Kravitz songwriting session. I know they played on stage together once (or more?), but have always wondered what would come out of a collaboration between those two.

Yes, I thought those two were great together.

For sure! That would have been wild stuff!

And did he ever actually collaborate with Kate Bush?

They would be interesting, PJ could have taken him to Dorset

I'd also say Cocteau Twins would be an interesting mix with him.

Not in the sense of the two of them being in a studio together. Their collaboration was just a case of them sending tapes back and forth.

Yep, there is an interesting interview with Princes sound engineer in the early 90's where he talks about them exchanging mixes of a song Kate was recording with Prince, the sound engineer was a huge Kate Bush fan and Prince teased him about working with her.

Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Paul Mc, Sly }, Bob Dylan, Shakira and Pixies.

Perhaps you missed "So What The Fuss", from 2005 from A ⏰ 2 ❤️ (A Time 2 Love).

Prince played guitar (Stevie even names him in the song), and En Vogue sing backing vocals.

Former Prince engineer Femi Jiya worked on the record. Also on the album is Paul McCartney, India.Arie, Bonnie Raitt, Doug E. Fresh, Kirk Franklin, and bigoted heifer Kim Burrell.

She sang on "My Computer", however that happened.

I once heard of Prince thinking of doing a duet with Mcartney. My reaction was its cool but i wouldnt want to hear it. Never liked Pauls voice.

I could be wrong but I seem to recall an interview with Lenny where he said he was leaving PP when Prince gave him a tape of their studio sessions together. I think it was an interview after Prince had died.

mj if for nothing else, the drama and the humour that would ensue, same goes for rick james. terence trent d'arby would be a good one and would highlight just how great TTD is as a vocalist when he'd make Prince look normal. Little Richard would be a good one.

TTD was great until he changed his name and started producing a lot of junk. He is also insane. But his first 5 albums are fantastic. I wouldn't say he could out sing Prince though. He has a good voice but lacks the range that Prince had. Not enough deep tone going on. A collab between the two would have been interesting but I'm not sure there is a studio big enough to contain all that ego.

Both were very much alike:

Battle for artist rights.

Both had own recording studios in their hometown.

Both design art work for album covers.

Able to play different types of music (Rock/Blues/Pop)

Major hits during same time period.

Every song written by both has a hidden meaning.

Also Kanye West.

I forgot Tori Amos. Those voices and way of singing and both playing the piano would have been a great combo.

.
I like a couple of her albums but the fact that she just cannot shut the f.. up makes it impossible for me to listen to her for long. Seriously, why does she feel she has to sing through every freakin second of her songs?.. That woman must be a nightmare to live with...
