Are there any hidden gems like 'Nothing compares 2 U' or 'I feel for you'?

Suggestions:
Do, me baby
Free
Take me with you
Mountains
Adore
Count the days

i aint really a great fan of covers but im pretty sure theres a lot of songs that could be made into covers.for example shes allways in my hair,peach joy in repitition,anna stesia are all great songs in most prince fans eyes but i think your mainstream music will probablys not have heard any of these .also erotic city,lady cab driver but there are many due 2 the fact that prince has such a large body of quality material that most aint releasd in the chart.

Get real! There are countless ones - but as we all know it totally depends if it is a hip artist/ overly promoted artist or not to get a hit these days!

But for starters, non Prince single songs that have hit potential are:

Sexy dancer ( with heavier, house best)

Violet Blue
Hot Thing
Blue Light

[b]I can't imagine any of those songs being hits. I mean, you can talk about trends and promotion etc. but Prince has had a lot of songs that would be hits at any time for anyone eg.Nothing compares to u, TMBGITW, I wanna be your lover, I feel for You, Purple Rain, The Belle of St.Mark etc..

no. they are all rubbish. kids like listening to songs about the bitches an ho's now and they like to cuss the batty boys. sorry.

"Do, Me Baby" was a hit for Mellisa Morgan.

I've always thought "My Love Is Forever" could be a hit if sung by a teenage girl with a Hip-Hop vibe.

Its just so damn Summery!
