For me it would have to be "For The Love Of You". Originally done beautifully by the Isley Brothers. I'd just love to hear it with his voice all over it. I know it would be amazing!!  This would be nice. I think he could handle 'Don't Say Goodnight' and '(At Your Best) You Are Love' by the Isleys in a suitably spine-tingling way too."Not everything that is faced can be changed; but nothing can be changed until it is faced." - James Baldwin | |

Next you'll try to convince me, that he also wrote melisa morgan's "do me baby" or sinead's "nothing compares to you"   | |

OK, for real, though, how about um, covering an Isley Brothers song like "Fight the Power,'' or "Take Me To The Next Phase.'' He could tear them songs up! A Prince-ified version of Stevie's "Contusion'' would be interesting, too. Toss in a Bob Marley "Redemption Song'' and I'm good for life. lol There's a live version of Redemption Song, with Prince on piano and Rosie Gaines on vocals, from the Nude Tour (I think)*. It's worth trying to seek out, as his chord changes in it (and Rosie's ad-libs) are wonderful. (Unfortunately, it's on my old PC, so I can't access it at the moment.) * Hmm... Says here it was performed in 1999, which may be what I've been hearing - although it does sound a lot like the performance of Aretha Franklin's Ain't No Way from 1990, so maybe it's a different one. Cool, thanks for that thread link. Missed that. And had no idea he'd covered any Marley in concert before. I needs ta hear dat now!  | |

Just been reading some info online, and I think I was probably wrong about the Nude Tour, and it is more likely to be the version from 2nd January, 1999 - from a release party at MGM Grand, Studio 54, Las Vegas. If so, it appears on CD4 of a boot called All Access on Thunderball, apparently.  "Not everything that is faced can be changed; but nothing can be changed until it is faced." - James Baldwin | |

Could you imagine him doing anything by Grace Jones like Nightclubbing, Private life, Living my life, or even La Vie en rose (Yes I know that is Edith Piaf, but Graces version, gave the song so much more oomph). And then Prince could sing I need a man  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 | |

Give Me One Reason by Tracy Chapman.
He'd be brilliant at it. 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!!

I wish he would cover one of his own song "Let's go crazy" in a rockabily style,
featuring Brian Setzer and and the Purple One on guitars,a contrabass player and a rockabily drum.That would be fantastic!!!! You can tell about Prince's Future , but his Past is utterly unpredictable | |

a 10 minutes version of "Comfortably Numb", the Pink Floyd song, with an amazing guitar solo.
Oh and I would love to hear the Beatles album Prince once did for his vaults...  Prince 4Ever.  | |

Also, "Starlight" by muse. Bowie and Prince would be too incredible for many to comprehend | |

Ive always found the PR and Comfortably Numb guitar solos quite similiar. 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!!

Dave1992 said: I'm so convinced he could record a killer version of this perfect song. Yeah, it has a real vibe that fits in with his covers choices, I reckon. Wish he had done that instead of crimson and clover... Take it - like Clarence said:

Admittedly obscure selections but "Outta Love Again" by Van Halen and "For Your Life" by Led Zeppelin. Actually, any of the funk songs on the Presence album . | |
