What is Prince's best duet?

What is P's best duet-pick one with a female and one with a male. I really like Nikka Costa just because the song is beautiful... thoughts?

Prince and Sheena Easton, "The Arms Of Orion" lol

Seriously though, Prince and Lisa on "A Place In Heaven". I know technically that she has lead vocals on that tune but it works for me nod

I dont understand why people slag off Arms of Orion i think its a really good song.
Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!

Cause it just sounds so corny and overdrenched in phony oversentimentality.
The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

Was "Love Bizarre" really a duet though? Wasn't he basically background vox?

Best? Awwwh,,, I wouldn't call "Erotic City" or any other uptempo track with doubled female vocals a duet, so I'll have to go with "Diamonds & Pearls".

prince lacks the maturity to express himself appropriately in a duet.....he showboats too much..


Why Should I Love You?

Nothing Compares 2 U?

Arms of Orion?

all proof that he is too intimidated to give into a plot of a song and let the character tell its story....

i think the only time he has allowed himself the chance to tell a story within a song while harmonizing is with "Sometimes It Snows In April".

I had hopes that he and Ani Difranco's collaboration would be a powerful one but once again he mutes her awesome guitar playing and shoots for the obvious....

Best dance track thats a duet would be Erotic City (though I looooove U Got The Look and Lovesign too ).Best ballad thats a duet I might give to U Make My Sun Shine with Angie Stone.
