Are there non-Prince songs that sound as if Prince could have written them?

Ever heard a song & thought
'that sounds really like a Prince tune'?
God knows why, but I could easily hear his
voice singing Cold November Rain & that song
You've got the Music in You, think it was
New Radicals. I just think they sound kinda Prince like.
Has anyone else had this experience with a song that's
not Prince's?

NONSENSE

Waterfalls by TLC for some reason this sounds like a song he'd write to me.

I don't know that they're too known outside of Australia, but Regurgitator have a song on their second record called '! (The Song Formerly Known As)'. It's groovy. And, on their last record there's a song called Michelle a lot of my friends think is Princey.

Regardless, Regurgitator is a beautiful thing smile

That's because it's a straight-up jack of "Nasty Girl".

Anyway, there's a few jams on Charlie Singleton's three solo albums he did in the 80's (Modern Man, Nothing Ventured Nothing Gained and Man On A Mission) that are very Princely. "Earth To Micki" sounds a lot like Lady Cab Driver and and "I Wanna Be With You" sounds like something Prince would have done.

I wouldn't say Charlie was swaggerjacking cos he had his own sound, but I definitely feel he was inspired by what P was doing.

A couple of Jack Johnson songs, though I don't know there name, sounded like they came staight off 1999.

I used to hear Prince in all of Lenny Kravitz music. Especially Let Love Rule.

Shut up already, damn.

The Freestylers, yup a lot of people thought it was Prince...it's almost plagiat lol

Alice,I want you just for me by Full Force....not really a copy of Prince but reminds me of Prince music.

Sexomatic by The Bar/Kays

Sexappeal by Georgio both sound so Prince....well, a lot did since the succes of PR!!
