This is kind of true. The Nikka Costa one is one of the few where he shares vocals properly. Also Arms of Orion, which I don't really like.

Not really a duet, but I like the blend of voices on Ice Cream Castles.

Take Me With U would probably be my choice despite Apples' weak singing. With all Prince's music there should be more to choose from, damn egomaniac!

Was "Love Bizarre" really a duet though? Wasn't he background vox?
    Yeah, but he is singing with her. When you see the video it looks like he is just singing backup. The Romance 1600 Concert tape performance of her & him singing that is what i am going by.

lol background? Prince dominates that song,and you hear him more than Sheila.It's more like a Prince song with Sheila E. on background vocals.

I'd agree in general (but Apples barely qualifies as a backing vocalist never mind co-lead on TMWU), but it does seem that two Sheena duets are the only songs where he does share the lead (although I don't like either song much). The one other exception that comes to mind is U Make My Sunshine with Angie Stone.

Naw, bro...not even...he wails a bit and then doubles up on her lines...faintly in the background...that's about it. Sheila dominates that cut.
Desire, it covers our faces
It happens in curious places
Your body, it covers my tower
Ecstasy is ours

Right, I forgot U Make My Sun Shine. That's pretty good. To me U Got the Look never really sounded like a duet for some reason. Sheena sounds like a backup singer. She never really gets a verse to herself, even though she's prominent in the song.
