I've always wondered why it's assumed so easily Prince wrote entire albums for protogé's or bands, when the credits just tell differently. Like the song 'Nasty Girl' from Vanity 6's debut album. It is generally assumed Prince wrote it; not even assumed, it's considered a fact. But the credits say Vanity wrote it herself. Can anyone clear this one up?

Prince often gave people credit for stuff they didn't do to create the illusion of other bands actually writing those hits, to create a mythos.

Vanity was a model, not a musician, from what I recall. She went on to be in some B movies as an actress.

of course, he has also not given credit to people for their significant contributions.

it's not "assumed so easily"
it's on record through ASCAP

here's a sample of songs written by Prince as registered through ASCAP -- note that some of these are songs he co-wrote with others / some songs are others using samples of Prince's music, giving him partial credit as songwriter / also note that this list isn't complete...

It's licensed under 'Girl Songs' on ASCAP.

Prince is infamous for using his alter egos on his protege's albums . . .Jamie Starr is the name he used a lot on The Time's albums and Vanity 6's

Gomp said:

It's not assumed that Prince wrote anything, it's known as fact. The credits on
early protege albums are not very accurate, with Prince often giving the
writing credit to someone else, which is why it's important to check who
actually recieves the royalties for the songs, and that's usually Prince.
The ASCAP writers listing is usually accurate, also note what publishing
company is listed as that's usually a dead giveaway. If it's credited to
"Girlsongs" then Prince wrote it.

He's gotta be the only artist with at least 10 songs with the word SEX in the title.

BorisFishpaw said:

Thanks for the info! It surely clears up a lot of things for me.

About the credits for 'early protogé albums': 'Girl 6' is a relatively recent album release, and it also has Vanity credited as the songwriter for 'Nasty Girl'. But I guess it is indeed helpful to check ASCAP info.

Gomp said:

It's just following the original credits, since it was originally released in 1982, same with 'The Screams Of Passion', if you notice, that is credited to The Family on Girl 6.

thats a shame he doesn't take credit for it..

on the Soft Pink Truth cd.. they sampled the song and thanked her (in the last track vocally) for writing such a good song..

are u talking p-diddy and others? the rap song where he mentions listening to prince?

chunky said:

Oh god, no. That "Nasty Girl" is a remix of a Notorious B.I.G. song. We're talking about Vanity 6's "Nasty Girl" released in 1982.

the x songs from the xenophobia cd isn't included..and the also left off zannalee...hence he's written a song for every letter in the alphabet

Soft Pink Truth!

Love.

I didn't know he wrote a song called "Time Waits For No One!!#550

tonyat said:

That was for Mavis Staples.

while we're talking Vanity, has she and Prince ever made up since P is now a JW and not as explicit in his lyrics?

cuz Prince is a big fat liar

sextonseven said:

Oh ...okay cause U know MJ has a song wit the same title!!

So I was trippin for a minute!! I shud've known better Lol!!

PurpleRein said:

Anyone know why? I also couldn't find a lot of songs from 'New Power Soul' (Until U're In My Arms Again, Mad Sex, etc.), though I was quite pleased to see the actual confirmation that Prince himself wrote 'Come On'.

what is olivers house???

Gomp said:

Also wrote a song for Coca Cola, and "Uh Huh" (used by Ray Charles for Pepsi) is credited as being written solely by Prince when you look into the publisher's details. Seems like we can finally put that controversy to rest now, eh??

Sdldawn said:

i know they did a cover of "make-up", but i dont recall a sample of nasty girl.

i could be wrong...

Snap said:

I never knew Prince wrote commercial jingles. Were these during those rough years in the 90s?

Prince was writing commercial jingles when he was still under Owen Husney's tutelage.

Probably the first form of gainful employment Prince had.

.

Snap said:

umm, prince registered and copyrighted his "uh huh" after the commercial jingle was done by someone else. I think he sampled a bit of the commercial and made a song. The real author of the commercial jingle has even posted on here in the past if I remember correctly.

from a search on here: "The story goes that Pepsi gave Prince an undisclosed amount of money (rumors of $7 million) to "beef the song up" for them. It seems the song was not originally written by Prince, though.Prince's version of the song was never released and he did it before a Ray Charles recording was used for the Pepsi advertisement. "
