Best version of Prince songs (by himself or others)

I think Nothing Compares to U was sung better by St. Paul than the released version by Prince.

I also believe For the Tears in Your eyes version on the We are the World album is better than the live version released later.

I think Prince's unreleased Sex of It is better than the one released by Kid Creole.

What songs do you believe are the best version of Prince songs (released or unreleased) by Prince or by another artist?

I think "The Screams of Passion" by The Family is better than the bootleg Prince version.

Hmmmm.

I don't know that much about these things, but I can hear Prince's bv on Love Bizarre, and I like how Sheila E do.

Actually, it's a duet. Non? hmmm

I really like his version of Love, Thy Will B Done over Martika's version.....his version is magic eek

It's all about the layering...

Also, his version of Don't Talk 2 Strangers trumps Chaka's version every day of the week. cool

Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

I would absolutely looooooove to hear P's version of "Ice Cream Castles" or "Sex Shooter" but the ones by the respective artists are so perfect I wouldn't bother.

I agree. Sounds more meaningful.
