Sandra St.Victor wrote the lyrics for Soul Sanctuary, and some other guys wrote the lyrics for Hide The Bone, and sometimes he takes someone else´s song and makes it his own, like One Of Us...I really prefer Prince´s version to Joan Osborne´s ( it´s not written by her though.)...

And then there are the infamous songs where he supposedly didn´t give the due credit, you know, like Do Me Baby etc...

Just off the top of my head, I´m sure there are more.
" I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?"

Why should he when he can do it himself?

I've wondered this too myself, but my reasoning is he really doesn't need anyone to do it. shrug

Others have written for Prince. He just has a problem acknowledging the contributions of others. mad

Still a great song and a performance but yes it seems that enough people say that he didn't write it that I guess most would say he should give him credit for it.

It's equivalent to "truly".

I should have said

"Oh that's vrai (true) too" smile

If I'm not mistaken Andre Cymone did mention he wrote that song during an old interview back in the 80's. cool

I thought Andre's claim was to writing the piano riff NOT the song. After all this time if Andre was really that good then he would have written himself another one.
