Best solo work

What do you think are Prince's best solo efforts? By solo efforts I mean Prince-written songs were Prince plays all of the instruments except perhaps horns and orchestral parts, which he obviously can't play himself. I would also include songs with female backing vocals.
Some of my choices would be the entire Camille album, Crystal Ball, Sign'O' Times + a number of songs from 1999 (album) like Something In The Water (Does Not Compute), Lady Cab Driver and All The Critics Love U In New York.

The wooh is on the one!

Allthough he did not write that himself.

99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%.

Great track, but not sure it's a solo work. I think it was recorded with John Blackwell and Rhonda Smith

Yes - great solo effort on an album that's easy to dismiss.
