PrintableI liked the little bit of "What Have U Done For Me Lately" he did, I'd love to hear a full version! If it breaks when it bends, U better not put it in! | |

Prince's best cover is, if it exists, "Like A Prayer". Long rumored, and I wanna know/hear/experience/judge-the-fuck-out-of it. Most of the other covers on Emancipation weren't bad though. how can u say that his cover of "like a prayer" is his best cover....if you have never herd it ? ? ?..... Thats like me saying "wally" is his worst song to date...even though it was never released to the public... I love that bedroom/church nonsence...."U can imagine the offering" Regardless I allways appreciate ur input ern...  Amen, sorry ernest, but I have to disagree, I love his version of I can't make u love me, forget the rap hear the vocal complexity. So what are u going 2 do? R u just gonna sit there and watch? I'm not gonna stop until the war is over. Its gonna take a long time | |

He used part of that in a segment on the Hit N Run tour in 1986. It was kind of used as a segue or an intro to another song. I *think* it was a segue between Automatic and DMSR. Facebook, I haz it - https://www.facebook.com/Nikster1969

I *think* it was a segue between Automatic and DMSR. Agreed. Sometimes "Automatic" was replaced with other things. He said to Mojo Dixon that they didn't play "Automatic" a lot, but it definitely was a segue somewhere in that medley that always started with "Raspberry Beret". | |

"Hair" is an old Larry Graham song. Chaka covered it on Come 2 My House. Prince probably performed it during the  years, when he wasn't singing any Prince songs, but was using a lot of Sly, GCS, and Santana tunes. | |

I liked his live version of Love Rollercoaster. I have seen him do Auld Lang Syne as well. It was amazing how he could take a song like that and make it amazing. All Along the Watchtower at the SB was pretty good. I abdicated the throne in Ithaca, but now I am...
