Fav songs that Prince has written for other artists?

Not only am I truly amazed by how prolific Prince has been over the last 20 years, but also the number of songs he has written for other artists. I love the following songs:

1. Sugar Walls by Sheena Easton
2. 777-9311 by The Time
3. Love Thy Will Be Done by Martika
4. Manic Monday by The Bangles
5. Nasty Girl by Vanity 6
6. The Glamourous Life by Sheila E
7. The Screams of Passion by The Family
8. Jerk Out by The Time
9. Born to Breed by Monie Love
10. Superhero by Earth Wind & Fire


I was gonna put I Feel For U by Chaka Khan until I realised that the song was a cover version....but it is my all-time fav Prince cover version cause I love Chaka, and Stevie Wonder's plays homanica plays on it.

There are probably MANY I don't know of, but I like those songs prince have written for Mayte and I'm not sure if LOVE SONG by Madonna was actually written by Prince, but that was a good one too, I bet I can come up with a million other songs Prince have written to other singer/artist but I can't really remember anyone besides Mayte's songs at the moment! smile

1)Mind Bells-Kahoru Kohiruimaki
2)Spirit-Martika
3)the Dance Electric-Andre Cymone
4)Sugar Walls-Sheena Easton
5)Desire-the Family
6)A love Bizarre-Sheila E.
7)Love Song-Madonna
8)Mia Bocca-Jill Jones
9)Gigilos Get Lonely 2-The Time
10)Sex Shooter-Appolonia 6


My favorite Purple Rain scene is where he performs "I Would Die 4 U/Baby I'm a Star". Just the energy he put in 2 those performances set the movie off 4 me personally. And of course the "password" scene with Morris and Jerome is hilarious also. Honorable mention: On "When Doves Cry" when it shows him and Appolonia playing around in the grass during the second verse.

Yo Mister, Patti Labelle and Love, Thy will be Done, Martika....2 great songs.
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.
