Songs Prince didnt write?

I am curious as to the songs that were not written by Prince. I know HIDE THE BONE wasnt writtin by him. Prince is known to write his own stuff and Im sure most of his songs were written by him.

Who was Hide The Bone written by, then? It is by Prince, I'm quite sure about that.






Soul Sanctuary, Power Fantastic and Do Yourself A Favor, for example.

I believe it was mentioned in the Possessed book that it wasnt written by him.

he wrote kiss, i.e. the lyrics and chords, but had little to nothing to do with the final result of what makes kiss the song that it is.

Brownmark all but claimed he wrote "Kiss". Of course it was right after he left The Revolution.

Hide the bone lyrics are by Brenda Lee Eager and Hilliard, according to http://crystalballcd.com


When you were mine was written by Dez Dickerson. They say Do me, baby was written by Andre Cymone and in a interview AC seem to imply that he wrote I feel for you.

You fool.

Not only Prince composed all the songs he sings, he also composed all the songs of any other artist you've ever listened to. In fact, The Vault contains enough songs for all the singers in the world until the end of the century.

...has not taught you to be polite.

To my knowledge, there are more co-written songs than songs totally not written by Prince.

- Do Yourself A Favour
- Computer Blue
- God (I may be wrong on this one)
- 17 Days
- The Ladder
- Slow Love
- Starfish & Coffee

just going by the acoustic kiss demo on the work and the stories i've read, i feel pretty sure prince wrote the lyrics realllly quickly over a basic I IV V progression.

but i don't doubt that without brownmark, the song wouldn't be what it is.
