Has P ever covered Curtis Mayfield?

I know Prince does a lot of covering at his shows.... has anyone seen him do Curtis?

I doubt it, Prince is only a little fella and I heard Curtis was about 6,6 so I doubt he'd have covered him.

I don't know if he's ever covered any of his songs though?

He's done "We're a Winner" lots, especially during the 3121-era.

Prince has covered several Curtis Mayfield tunes via The Impressions (the group Curtis Mayfield wrote and produced songs for): "People Get Ready" during The Ultimate Live Experience Tour and "We're A Winner" during Prince's Welcome 2 Chicago shows and the 2005 Vanguard Award Jam at the NAACP Awards.

People Get Ready in 1995, during the Ultimate Live Experience tour. At the Paradiso aftershow in Amsterdam.

Yeah, he could speed it up a bit and roll it into When The Lights Go Down? 28 minute version.
