Eternal Embrace, etc.

I've come across the following songs on kazaa, but have not heard of them before...what can you tell me about them? (they may not even be Prince songs)

Eternal Embrace?
Tender Surrender?
Lips 2 Find U?
Skintight?
Mary, Don't You Weep?

Thanx.

Skintight is a cover song that he did live a few times in the early 90's. I forget who the band is that did it originally. Tower of Power?
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

'Mary, Don't You Weep' is certainly a (traditinal gospel) song Prince jammed / rehearsed as far back as the Purple Rain Tour rehearsals. He has also performed it live, particularly during 1994-6.

'Tender Surrender' (Steve Vai) is a tune he is said to have played live at Paisley Park on August 26, 1995. I am not acquainted with Vai's work, but the tune played on the night sounds very similar (and has the same chord structure) to a tune played from a previous time by Prince. The precise date of the previous recording is under some doubt, although some have attributed it to Detroit in 1986. Can someone confirm whether this is actually Steve Vai's tune that is played?

Eternal Embrace: the final piece from Kamasutra is entitled Kamasutra / Eternal Embrace.

Lips 2 Find U = fake / no Prince involvement.

He definately has played "Tender Surrender" since 1995. Just 2 years ago or so I remember him doing a killer version of it on my b-day at Paisly Park.
