Prince covering Sweet Thing I really like it when Princes covers Sweet Thing (Chaka Khan song) He did it also on that Musicology Programme and i do hope he releases it on one of his future albums cuz i think he does a really good job and its obvious he loves the track 
P.S has he ever recorded it in a studio or is it on any bootlegs? Everybody's looking 4 the ladder

At the Vegas aftershow on 2/9/07, Shelby sang Sweet Thing. During the second verse, she came over and took my hand - and we sang it together. Definitely one of the coolest things that's ever happened to me at a Prince show.  We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

There does exist a studio recording of the song and it is from very early on in princes career. Seek the geeks for more detailed info. | |

Im not sure if the version you are talking about is actually a studio recording but more like he recorded it straight to a tape recorder. Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!

It would mean pulling out Testament to get a date on it. Im sure Boris or the like could give everybody here the specifics they require. | |

i like when p does this song . i've been digging on his 2006 (?) bet awards performance, where yolanda adams sings the song and p comes in at the end with a soaring solo    .For all time I am with you, you are with me. | |
