I'd have to go with TLC's version of "If I Was Your Girlfriend"...followed closely by Something For The People's "She's Always In My Hair."

I don't know why but I don't like it when artists remake Prince...it just annoys me...they have NO right to cover a man as great as Prince!!!!...heh heh I know I'm werid...

Does the term "Nail on the head" mean anything to ya?

The Soft Pink Truths Version of V6's Make Up.

George Clinton's Erotic City


Clay Atkin's When Doves Cry....Just kidding

superspaceboy said:

LMAO! BUT -- Genuwine's version of "When Doves Cry" was pretty intriguing...I give him props for the attempt and some props on the outcome.

Cindy Lauper's "When You Were Mine"

Chaka Khan's "I Feel For You"

Sinead Oconnor & Lil Jimmy Scott's "Nothing Compares 2 U"

and

Randy Crawford's "Purple Rain".

i could go on and on....i personally think prince is his own' songs worst nightmare..the arrangments can be too predictable at time.....

Anyone hear Jordan Knight's (Formerly of New Kids On The Block) version of "I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man"...astonishingly enough, it's pretty cool...he made into a slow cut.

Thanx sosgemini! I was gonna go smooth off If walked into another one of these threads and No One mentioned Chaka Khan! I Feel For U is the Only prince remake that gives me the same chills that I get when I hear prince sing it. The way they remixed it makes it classic. love it. TLC get honorable mention.

I agree!This cut is nice,but I would have to go with Chaka's"I Feel For You".By the way,who produced that version?

Arif Marden

Tom Jones' KISS

"Gotta Stop (Messin' About)" - Self

"Life Can Be So Nice" - Beau Hall

"Strange Relationship" - FeltBluish

Probably Chaka Khan's version of 'I Feel For You'. Although it's not a patch on the original.

I recently heard Foo Fighters do 'Darling Nikki', which was diabolical.

Easy

D'Angelo - Shes always in my hair

That will go down as WORST Prince remake of all time! LOL!

Eroticist said:

Actually I think that is a HUGE compliment....

Chaka Khan did a better I Feel 4 U than Prince did.

The worst remake would have to be Mariah Carey and Dru Hill'sThe Beautiful Ones

Chaka's I Feel 4 U & Sinead's version of Nothing Compare 2 U.

CHAKA KHAN---I FEEL FOR YOU!
Best Sample: MC Hammer-Pray (Sampled off When Doves Cry)

Patti Smith's cover of "When Doves Cry" is very different!

But I don't think it's the best...

LeAnn rimes purple rain

Could Prince be the most covered post-1970s artist of all time?

Tori Amos - Purple Rain
