Prince and MJ covers..

Can we expect prince to be dropping more MJ covers in either his live or aftershows in coming years?

Just flicking through MJ tracks, I think these could work well.. Most of off the wall smile

Burn this disco
Rock with you
Working day and night
Get on the floor
In the closet
Another part of me

no,

but i think Partyman and Alphabet Street would be huge MJ hits. Actually Partyman shouldve been the MJ and Prince duet.

to answer this seriously:


I am just glad Prince denied to do the song Bad, as a duet.. it's great as it is..! I like the song, the 12 inch is fantastic..

And, I am glad MJ didn't do the Prince penned: Wouldn't U Love 2 Love Me?

wink

Wouldn't You Love To Love Me? is the second track on Taja Sevelle's first album Taja Sevelle, and, in early 1988, Wouldn't You Love To Love Me? was released as the album's second single. Wouldn't You Love To Love Me? was written and produced by Prince (with production credited to the album's main producer, Chico Bennett), with uncredited saxophone by Eric Leeds.

While specific recording dates are not known, the track was initially recorded in 1976 as a home recording on a basic cassette recorder (during the same set of recordings as For You, Nightingale, I Spend My Time Loving You, Rock Me, Lover and Don't You Wanna Ride?), featuring some lyrics that were changed or removed for later recordings. The track was re-recorded twice in Summer, 1978 at Prince's France Avenue Home Studio, Edina, MN, USA; once with Prince on vocals and once with Sue Ann Carwell on vocals (during the same set of sessions as Make It Through The Storm, Since We've Been Together and I'm Saving It Up).
.

.
It was re-recorded again on 1 April, 1982, at Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA. This version was worked on further in 1986 (either at Sunset Sound or at Prince's Galpin Blvd Home Studio, Chanhassen, MN, USA), and
.
.
this version was submitted to Michael Jackson for use on his album Bad (producer Quincy Jones had called Prince to ask him to duet on the song Bad, and when Prince declined, he submitted this song instead). It is unlikely Michael Jackson recorded a version of the song, however. Prince then submitted the song to Taja Sevelle, who simply replaced Prince's own vocals, and the track was edited slightly for its release. Remixes for the single release took place in late 1987 at a variety of studios.

This must be the thread where everyone is suggesting that MJ related discussion should be posted:
