Well Prince introduced me to a lot of good music in the past. Just by covering or mentioning other peoples music. I collected some songs allready Prince covered or done live. What do i miss?

Joni Mitchell- A case of you (peformed around 1983 and covered at 2003)
Rolling Stones- Miss you (he performed live around 1986)
Rolling Stones- Honky Tonk Woman (the undertaker beginning 90's)
The Impressions - You're a winner (2005)
Ohio Players - Love Rollercoaster (2005)
Aretha Franklin - Respect (the nude tour)
Shania Twain - We're still together (or what is the title...)
The delphonics - La,la,la,means i love u (emancipation)
Stevie Wonder - Maybe your baby (live in the 90s?)
Bob Marley - Redemption Song (with Rosie Gaines on vocals)
(what is her name?) - One of Us (emancipation)
The Stylistics - Betcha by golly wow (emancipation)
(what is her name?) - If i can't make u love me (emancipation)
Led Zeppelin - Whole lotta love (2003)
Sly Stone - Stand!, Everyday People, I want to take u higher (1998-2002)
James Brown - Sex Machine (beginning 90's)
James Brown - I dont want nobody to give me nothing (2005)
James Brown - Kansas City, Cold Sweat (small club 87..ok not actually originals from JB but i guess this is where P. knew them from)
Jimi Hendrix - Red House (end of 90's)

Also he mentioned in interviews songs/albums he loved..i remember in the Grafitti Bridge era he mentioned the album of Bette Middle of that time with on a distance and other great songs. He also mentioned in 85 the album of Stevie Wonder - journey through the secret life of plants. What else he referred to that he liked (ofcourse i know the list at the album One Nite Alone..live)...

Thanks for adding things!

Hendrix - Voodoo Child
James Taylor -You've got a friend
Bill Monroe -Ain't no sunshine
Chaka -Sweet Thing

You've Got A Friend is composed ,and performed much better imo by Carole King !

I agree. I like Carole's version better, but James made it a hit and when Prince sang it, he said it was a James Taylor song.

OK , maybe he didn't know it's her's

I have some nice live recordings of Prince doing some crazy covers. Like It Takes 2, by Rob Base and DJ Easy Rock, and What Have You Done For Me Lately, by whats her name?

James Brown-Talking Loud and Saying Nothing(97) and Mother Popcorn(87)
Michael Jackson-Billy Jean(instrumental 2002)
Marvin Gaye-Let's Get I On(rehearsal 95?)
Rick James-You and I(on one of Mayte's birthdays 95/96/97?)
Little Richard-The Girl Can't Help It(1995)


One of Us is by Joan Osborn and Shaniah(sp?) Twain's song is You're Still the One

Have a look at this thread from 2003 for starters:
