Have a Heart - Thieves in the Temple

I was noticing earlier today that the chorus of 'Have a Heart' bears a slight resemblance to the melody of 'Thieves in the Temple.'

And everytime I hear the main piano motif, it makes me think of the Salt n' Pepa hit 'Whatta Man,' but in a minor key. Of course, it is just a simple descending scale, so it is not as if Prince should be looking out for accusations of plagiarism.

One Nite Alone is definitely growing on me.

Not sure about all the stuff you said, but to me "My Medallion" sounds like a spin-off of "Spill the Wine, Take that Girl". Correct me if that is the wrong title to that song. I usually hear similarities with other people's songs to other people's songs, lol. Not too many songs sound like Prince's to me, except some of his own.
