I love them both, great solos from Prince and the NPG on the NPG track. Billys was the original and it still kicks ass.

Both awesome but since I used to chase girls to Billy Preston's version, I've gotta give the nod to Mr. Preston.

It's an outtake, mixed in with another song called "Sueprhero". I think "Superhero" was on the "Blankman" movie soundtrack.

Or are you saying you'd not ever heard Billy Preston's original song?

It's from the extended vamp at the end of the NPG's unreleased version of "Super Hero"

which was originally intended for the Exodus album (it was never officially credited as a

separate track in it's own right).

Both, although I bet I had heard Preston's, just not familiar with it.
