If Prince were to cover a song, what would it b?

I wish Prince would cover a Beatle song. I'd love to hear him sing "Imagine" by John Lennon, acoustic version, in one of his concerts. I think the message of that song is very simple yet direct and heartfelt, and I think he'll do a great job, too!

"Can You help Me" by Jesse Johnson. Sometimes I think Prince secretly wrote it.

I have always thought he should cover the Rolling Stones "Bitch" as well as "Paint it Black", those songs sound much like a Prince song anyway....

"Norwegian Wood" would be great, too. Maybe a whole album of Beatles covers by Prince ...

Hope he does it better than what Dr. Fink did. His CD with Beatles covers and mixes is a disgrace.... but it is rare, and I have it!

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.

Barry Mannilow's "I Write the Songs"!
He would Funk it up, and it would be hilarious!

Perfect song for Prince: "Gimme Sign" a song from the 60s by Brenton Wood.

Here's how it goes:

"If you do want me
gimme little sweet talk
If you don't want me
don't lead me on, girl
But if you need me
Show me that you love me
And when I'm feeling donw
Wearing a frown
You'll be there when I look around

Just gimme some kind of sign, girl
Oh my baby
to show me that you're mine, girl
All Right!"

Neat little classic R&B song that hasn't been overdone smile
