Not songs that he has already also recorded himself like "I Feel For You" or "Shh" but songs that so far only the other artist has released.

What would your choices be?

"Love... Thy Will Be Done" -- Martika

Wait, "Shh" was for someone else?

I kind of agree, but I'm assuming he'd make it more Prince-like.

I absolutely adore Prince's versions of...

Desire
Mutiny
Love...They Will Be Done
Open Book
I Hear Your Voice
Allegiance
Slave 2 the System
Wouldn't U Love 2 Love Me
If I Love U 2Nite
Neon Telephone
The Sex Of It
Eternity
All Day, All Night
G-Spot
The Undertaker

Ones I've never heard Prince's versions of that I think would be fantastic either in their original form, or even re-recorded...

The Glamourous Life
A Love Bizarre
Noon Rendezvous
Cool
Get It Up
The Stick
777-9311
Mia Bocca
Koo Koo
Holly Rock
Manic Monday
Nothing Compares 2 U (studio)
The Rebels stuff...

"Get Blue" is one of my favorite tracks he didn't release. I just don't like Louie Louie's version.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned "Ooh This I Need" or the Screams of Passion

I mentioned the latter. But the former.... well, there are a lot of songs given to others that I'd rather he release (including many, many not on my list) than that.

How could I forget that one!

Raze said:

That is a killer song, but I'm not sure I want to hear Prince singing those words.

GangstaFam said:

i started to type the title on my list and had the same thought

purplesweat said:

Yes it was. Tevin Campbell. As a matter of fact, Prince wrote and produced half of Tevin's 2nd album "I'm Ready". The other half was Babyface. Shh was released before Prince's version.

Dance Electric and The Sex Of It. Those would be awesome.

so I heard Prince singing "If I love U 2nite", was this before or after Mayte had started singing it?


By the way, did he write all her music? I just heard Mayte's "Latino Barbie Doll" and ....

Shhh747 said:

yeah, he wrote all of her music. except Brick House, of course.


and If I Love U 2 Night was originally from the Rebels sessions in 1979 (with Gayle Chapman on vocals). He re-did it in 1987, and then gave it to Mica Paris.

Interesting note, his version actually has been semi-released, because there was an error on one of the printings of the vinyl single or promo, and they used Prince's version accidentally.
