Cover Versions by Prince I've just found the origional version of paisley park by Richard Swift...excuse my ignorance but I had no idea Prince did covers. Or is this a one off...any others? Bob. G. | |

Huh? I believe you are mistaken - "Paisley Park" is originally by "Prince and the Revolution." This Swift dude's version is the cover. But yes, Prince has done cover versions of other artists' songs - this isn't one of them, though.
I'm not an obsessive about his '80s work, though, so anyone feel free to correct me. (but I think I'm right).

Prince has done tons of covers, live and on his albums. Most fans don't like that he does covers, though.
List of cover songs on his albums: Betcha By Golly Wow! (Emancipation, Disc 1) I Can't Make U Love Me (Emancipation, Disc 1) La, La, La Means I Love U (Emancipation, Disc 3) One Of Us (Emancipation, Disc 3) Everyday Is A Winding Road (Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic) Purple House (Power of Soul: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix) A Case Of U (One Nite Alone...) Crimson and Clover (Lotusflow3r [Target exclusive track])
I might be missing some.. |

Laydown from 20ten is basically a cover of Santigold's Creator
I have to say that it is amazing that over a career so long he's only done a handful of covers on his studio releases.

(oh, but that wasn't credited ... although to be fair, he did at least change the lyrics).

I'm not sure, but "Soul Sanctuary" might count as a cover... I know somebody else wrote the song (titled "Sanctuary"), then he tweaked it and released his version - but I don't know if his was the first released version. I also don't know if him changing the song (to the point of getting co-writer credit) makes it no longer a cover. |

There are some great Prince covers on live boots. And one could make a decent case that Dreamer and Colonized Mind are covers. | |
