He performed a great "live" version at his release party for that album at Paisley Park.

He put the soul and gospel into it that Joan Osborne couldn't.

You call yourself Musicology but maybe you need to go back to school.

He's also released "everyday is a winding road" by Sheryl Crow.

I'm sure others as well . . .

'One Of Us' was also one of the tracks off the album that was being considered for a single release.

I LOVE it. I was pretty disappointed in the CDs, but then the remake came in and kicked me in the ass! I was VERY happy he played it in concert.

Luv & Peace,

Have to say I prefer hers. P's starts great but I hated his take on the chorus and the lyric change was a tad trite.

That's nice. So we can liken you to one of those BAD teachers we had in school where they didn't teach...just pointed out what you don't know.

Splendid.
