from "When Will Be Paid" to "Love Is A Losing Game" to "Crazy" to even "What Have You done For Me Lately", Prince has made some covers of songs that bring out hooks and tones that were there but sometimes submerged.

I had heard the Amy Winehouse song and not thought much of it, and even heard Prince mention it as remarkable, but I didn't see why. But upon hearing an aftershow cover of it by Prince and his band, where he brought out a James Bond song type of epic feel to it, I hear so much more in the original and can see what all the fuss over Winehouse is as a genius singer/songwriter. That simple chord shift chorus hook is subtle in the original, but when it's pointed out, the way Prince did, it made it into a tremendous song for me.

The bounce and fun he adds to his covers of RollingStone songs, The Cars, etc... is really interesting from a producer's/performer viewpoint.

the one that I DONT like however is..... Come Together. He hasn't brought out anything good for me in his version. The original is brilliant.

Gotta Love, I can't make u love me...and I wouldn't mind him giving the song
Jodi and Chico a try, by Bonnie Raitt.

I love his cover of Whole Lotta Love.

Betch By Golly Wow - I get the 'experience-more-of-the-song-through-prince's-version' feeling with this one.

I'm not even familiar with the original version, but "Case of You" all the way back in 1983-4 seems very cool too.

I like his cover of Maybe your baby by stevie wonder
