Songs that were written for _____ ?

So we know many songs were written about/for Mayté (Emancipation, and probably many before that since he met her in 1990 and from that instant wanted to marry her...

But, total speculation or known fact, which song do you think he wrote for someone else, did he write songs about/for Manuela? Bria? or any other girl before? or any other people (read other than girlfriends/wife).

Yeah, I love Graffiti Bridge movie, so what? ''Oooooooooooh Montreal, say it!''
If you can't be nice to someone on the net, you probably ain't worth much talking to in real life either.

I read a thread about this here, I do indeed believe that he specifically had someone in mind when he wrote Somewhere Here On Earth and Sea Of Everything. OH right "Beginning Endlessly" also

I always heard that he wrote Pink Cashmere for Susannah Melvoin.

But he probably had a lot of chicks along the way who inspired him to write some of his better love songs.

"Cindy C" is an obvious one. "Billy Jack Bitch" was about a gossip columnist.

I read on another thread that When Doves Cry was written for Susan Moonsie.

I think The Most Beautiful Girl in the World was inspired by his female fans. I think he was asked by a famous beauty pageant (Miss Universe maybe?) to come up with a song for them. The fans were asked to send in pix/ videos of themselves to Paisley Park (since I remember sending something in at the time). If you look at one of the covers of the single you can see some of the pix that were sent in.

I also heard a rumor that Little Red Corvette or Purple Rain might have been written for Vanity, but don't know how true that really is. I am "guessing" that Forever in My Life was written for Susannah, but that's just a guess.

Have u had your + sign today?

Oh yeah, "P.F.U.N.K" was a go to hell song for a certain segment of his fans.
