Songs that sound like Prince wrote them Now I'm not just talking about songs that have a Princey influence or vibe to them, I mean songs that really sound like his work being covered by another artist.
I heard 'Waterfalls' by TLC yesterday and I think it falls into this category. Likewise 'Sexual Revolution' by Macy Gray and 'Untitled' By D'Angelo. Anyone got any more? |

Hmmm,
Listen to Control by Janet Jackson. I always thought that sounds remarkably like da man. [and yes I know that Jummy and Terry used to work with Prince]. K. A new home for deep funk:

The track 'Party People' by Alex Gopher (is sort of an hommage to P), and lots of Romanthony tracks sound exactly like Prince |

***"Run To Me" by Angela Bofill (1987)---Sounds alot like "Erotic City".
***"I Promise You" by Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam(1987)---It's well known that producers Full Force were huge Prince fans,and many of their productions borrowed heavily from the Minneapolis Sound.This song is a prime example. ***"Old Flames Never Die" by Full Force (1986)---Ditto ***Anything on Ready For The World's first two albums ***"I Need A Freak" by Sexual Harassment (1983) ***"I Want Your Body" by Madame X (1987)---producer Bernadette Cooper even does that "aaaooowwwaaahhh" thing on this song! Sounds like a Vanity 6 outtake. [This message was edited Wed Oct 9 6:15:45 PDT 2002 by DavidEye] | |

"Try Again" by Aaliyah - 4 some reason I've always envisioned Prince singing on that. Don't hate me 'cause I'm NOT beautiful | |

When I read the title of this thread I thought of Waterfall by TLC too.
Also, Waterfall by Wendy and Lisa (different song, but equally Prince influenced), What Have You Done For Me Lately by Janet Jackson (When Prince performed it on the Nude Tour he asked "Who wrote that?" !?) | |

That JLo song "Hey DJ play that song cuz...blah blah".
Beck did a live gig on VH1 a couple yrs ago that was a complete ripoff of Prince. I don't really mind if artists copy Prince but they should give him credit for it when they do. [This message was edited Wed Oct 9 9:04:07 PDT 2002 by mrchristian] | |
