Mahalia Jackson's Walk Over God's Heaven. Real funky groove AND an amazing chance to use that gospel voice of his. Wail on, Prince.

My favorite song, "Unforgettable" By Nat King Cole. I'd love to hear Prince do that in his falsetto, maybe change the arrangements, too. Whatever works.

He's a Tori Amos fan. I would love to hear him do a cover of one of her songs. Yet if I had the chance to select, I would choose:

Beekeeper
Waitress (Can hear him performing it with the passion of Darling Nikki)

it was done by maxwell, and very brilliantly indeed, i think if prince did it,

1) it wouldnt be as good as maxwell's version
2) it would be seen as copying maxwell. (even though maxwell blatantly uses Prince's falsetto when singing).

Oh my gosh Maxwell did such a wonderful job recreating Woman's Worth. He almost emulates Kate Bush.
