5 Women- Joe Cocker (Although I respect the fuck out of Joe Cocker, I much prefer this song when it's performed by Prince.) One of the best songs ever written by anyone anywhere. smile

MIND BELLS, which he wrote for Kohoru Kohurimaki

OPEN BOOK, which was later recorded by Jevetta Steele, but his stripped-down, drumbeat/piano version is in my top fave Prince songs EVER... i long for a perfectly clean audio version of this treasure =( Maybe there's hope, as it has no curse words & would be ripe for an official release???

If U came 2 get your 'Purple Rain' on...U'RE IN THE WRONG HOUSE!!!!!!

Yo Mister and 5 Women fo sho. lol

Did P ever record his own version of Stand Back before he gave it to Stevie Nicks? What about the song for Kenny Rogers, You're My Love or something?

P didn't write Stand Back. He just showed Stevie (or her keyboardist) how to play the keyboard parts (which she admits were directly influenced by Little Red Corvette).

love love this hawnting classic! i remember being facinated by the vid, sinead with her baldie head god love her & while i love to hear prince sing this i still think she did the song better than him

around the same time that she had a hit with this i bought a cd by 'MXM'. don't know anything about MXM

but it the cd contains 3 really nice dance remixes of nothing compares 2 u

1 - dove edit

2 - love mix

3 - remix

i think they might be a foreign group cuz she sings 'i go out every night & sit all day' lol
