Your favorite Prince tribute/song by others

What is your favorite song by other artists about for Prince? Or just couplet for that matter

This is mine:


FLAIRS "Better Than Princ... FRANCOIS. door ThirdSideRecords

I believe it was 1994 when they had the Celebrate Soul of America Awards and Patti LaBelle and Arsenio Hall presented prince with a special award. But there was a tribute first with dancers and a medley of Prince / prince songs before he came up and gave his speech. The medley's songs were a little chopped up / edited in my opinion, but it was a nice tribute nonetheless. U could see prince's head slowly bobbing up and down during "The Most Beautiful Girl In The World." He looked genuinely touched.

Hm, that sounds great. Can't find it anywhere. Do you remember a hint so I can find it?

A friend of mine made a Prince tape 4 me about 15 years ago, and this was one of the clips on it. I honestly don't know where he got the footage from. Sorry.

This is the best tribute to Prince. I hated the 2010 BET. I think it was shoddy/tacky and felt like it was an after thought.
