We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

While my Guitar Gently Weeps -the beetles
Conte Patiro ( in falsetto ) - Andrea Boceli
Try it (I'm in love with a married man) - oh Romeo
Let's here it do the boy - Diniese Williams
Join in the Chant - Nitzer Eb
Lukins - Pearl Jam
It's raining men - The Weather Girls
Sam - Olivia Newton John
Narcicus - Alanis Morrisette
You Suck -Yeastie Girls

He'll probably need to do some of these in his Camille voice

You know he already did an amazing performance of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" right? It was actually quite amazing, you should be able to find it

I just want to mention that my post is the most exceptionally definitive collection of songs mentioned in this thread. We should all be in obervance

I don't think Prince is good at covering other artists. The only decent covers he made are "Get On Up" & "Just My Imagination".

The Rebirth - Evil Vibrations

Imagine Prince on bass jamming to this and it segueing into Housequake. Watch out I'd have a funk overdose.

Ive always wanted him to do a live version of All Along the Watch Tower. Jimi version. Jus to hear his guitar work on it, itll be dope.

I just checked the video again, he does Best of You but he also does a bit of All Along The Watchtower. Not enough of it though. I agree with you, I would like to hear him perform the entire song.

Yeah, I forgot about that intro. He does the first couple of lines. Yeah, but the full version would be cool, with the music in all.

I love Prince and I love Bob, but I don't need a Prince covering Dylan album any more than I need a Dylan covering Sinatra album (or tour.) confused

Prince is an original. I'm not a fan of him doing cover versions.

A whole album of him doing cover versions would be the first album of his I wouldn't buy.
