This is one of the funkiest and best Prince covers of all time. Do you agree?

Very good cover of one of my favorite Prince joints,by a fellow VA native. Cant wait for James River to drop.....

I wore out my Scream 2 soundtrack listening 2 this... I was shocked when I seen the symbol credited 2 this in the liner notes... that was early in my discovering of Prince... songs like this and others that I loved when I was younger kinda tells me that I was destined 2 admire the mans music

Yeah, I certainly agree. THIS is the only cover of a Prince song that I like. I remember when I first saw Scream 2 in the theatre, when I heard this, I was like "Oh shit! Whaaaaat?".

A lot of P fans trash this cover but I thought D did a good job.

The only Prince cover I like

I don't like it. It's totally missing the synthesizers.

Can't stand it.

Not bad, I must admit though that I was hearing Prince's version all the while i was listening D's version, it was pretty interesting.

Personally, as far as pure listening pleasure goes, D'angelo is Prince's equal and in some cases, superior, in some instances. D brings a joyful funk that touches the soul, like no other.

The remake is so hot that it's hard for me to listen to without the sudden urge of wanting to share it with others, lol.

D'angelo's brilliance has no bearing on Prince's greatness; theres room for them both!

I don't care for it.

I think the only Prince cover I really like is Alicia Keys' "How Come You Don't Call Me"

very strong cover version

so no one like's chaka's version of i feel 4 u tho?

Oh wait! I completely forgot about that; I love Chaka's version more than Prince actually...

Music is art, and can be interpreted in many ways, I'm the first to admit it; but I can hardly understand how any Prince fam doesn't really dig this remake, or other remakes such as Purple Flip.

Princesound + Neo Soul = my favorite emerging musical genre.

Love the track.....but I dig 99% of D's work.

sounds cool but 4 sum reason i have a closed ear when ppl remake a Pricne song....can never really get into it.

love it

Shit is Hot!! i think D is the only guy i would urge to do an album of prince covers.

Shit compared to Prince's.

Ironic, since Prince was mauled in 'Voodoo' liner notes.

Love this version. Excellent production.

To be honest, my requirements of a cover aren't really all that high, and there's many covers that are nothing special that I love. But this one I definitely think deserves some special attention, it's true to the original and unique at the same time.
