Can anyone tell me the origin of the song, "Extraordinary," as performed by Prince on ONA Live?

What a horrible confession for me to make - I didn't purchase that CD when I had the chance.err

Am I correct in assuming that he wrote the song? For some reason, it sounds a bit like a cover of someone else's song. Has someone else recorded it, making it more familiar to me?

I remember my reasoning in not purchasing The Vault, thinking it was a WB ploy to release some of his older music. I wonder how many others missed the chance as I did. Oh well, there's always ebay.

Besides "Extraordinary," are there other worthwhile tracks?

You might want to check Best Buy. They usually have the Vault in stock.
