How many songs did he sang in Doo Wop??

I already know about 'Baby' and 'Courtin time'. Don't know bout the rest but I'm sho nuff it would sound sooo COOL. Doo Wop can blend wit funk.

"Baby"... was not exactly a "doo wop" song... neither was Courtin' time Baby was more of a soulful ballad than a doo wop form of music... Courtin time was more swing era if nothing else... just my 2 cents

I was thinking that very thing! I don't think he has really done to much doo wop!

Prince has never done a song in a 50's doo wop fashion i just wish people would get thier music timeline's straight

All of the Prince songs that I like were sung in Doo-Wop. Unfortunately time isn't on our side to count them or to know them all. I like the ones that you mentioned 2 baby, baby, baby especially remains my favorite Doo Wop'.

I think Doo Wop would be blended so easily wit his type o' music not 2 mention he can do such a great harmony arrangments in his song. Doo Wop is coming back slowly wit a lil' help from Rafeal Saadiq and L-Boogie, it would be MIGHTY COOL if Prince tried some.

ok i was wrong "slow love" was in sort of a doo wop fashion..i retract my last statement about him not doing a song in a doo wop manner my fault

C'mon people, they're talking about "rockabilly" not doo-wop.

I don't have all the titles at the forefront of my memory, but there's tons of them.

Prince sings out of key. Who'd want to sing a chorus with him?
He'd only doo-wop with himself using multi-tracking.

"doo wop" requires every one to be
in agreement on the key they're singing in
and what parts they'll take. While Prince's approach is
often melodic it stil non standard. Hence his best results
are when he multi-tracks his own voice solo.
I'vew always suspected that's why he wouldn't do "We Are The World":
too many trained singers woulda showed him up? i don't know why
non-singin Bob Dylan was there too!
