Did ya know that Prince wrote songs for so many artist including these BIG names:

Paula Abdul, The Bangles, Tevin Cambell, George Clinton, El DeBarge, Celine Dion, Shelia E, Sheena Easton, Earth Wind & Fire, Carmen Electra, Pattie LeBelle, Chaka Klan, Teena Marie & Kenny Rogers...plus a lot more.

But on the list that I got these names from I didn't see Shanade O'Connor...didn't he write "Nothing Compare to U" for her?

Whatcha think...did ya know he wrote for all these people?

Who did the best with his songs?

Peace
the VILLE

He wrote 'Nothing Compares 2 U' for The Family (it features on their eponymous album) and Sinead O'Connor covered the song.

Hey theVille, ur enthusiasm 4 Prince as a new listener is very cute...but u don't have 2 post a thread on everything u've just learned...chill.

It's really cool 2 c someone "discovering" Prince and 4 the 1st time...Hey ORGers, can u imagine 1st hearing him now, not knowing of his funk b4??? Wow!

Here's some advice theVille:

Take ur time, LISTEN 2 the music, READ the lyrics, ENJOY the spine tingling response ur body will give u....we've all been there...and it's very cool.

While ur doing that, REVIEW the .org. Check out other posts b4 u post urs...U will have seen that some of ur topics have already been posted.
