what are some of his best solo tracks - i.e. known that no band was involved. Having others play strings or horns are okay, but the rest shoudl be all prince, instruments and vocals? Here are a few to get the thread started, I think these are all accurate

When Doves Cry

7

The Most Beautiful Girl in the World

Pink Cashmere

How Come U Dont' Call Me Anymore

Forever In My Life

I know it might be his shortest, but to me his best is FOR YOU.

1st song off his 1st album.

The Beautiful Ones

Private Joy

Joy In Repetition

In This Bed Eye Scream

Supercute

Sexuality

Condition Of The Heart

Really? I guess I always assumed this one was performed with the revolution as it shows in the movie.

nobody's said them so... darling nikki, crystal ball. it's mind numbing to think of starting with blank tape and ending up with those 2 works. oh and obviously when doves cry.

temptation was all him right? other than eric leeds? that's pretty impressive too.

If I was your girlfriend

Crystal Ball is among the very best solo efforts - outrageous in places!

* edited as I misssed that Electric had mentioned CB - so, I agree with Electric

Uh oh Tamborine's tamborine was played by Brad Marsh, so it's no longer a solo effort

I think Crystal Ball had other people playing in it

Temptation sax was with Eddie M
