Which songs did Prince wrote during and after his relationship with Susannah Melvoin?

Anyone?

i once read that most of under the cherry moon was about her. i forget where i read it...it was quite a long time ago.

Well the dates you want are reported to be:

Prince met Susannah through her sister in early 1983
Prince started dating Susannah late 1983 / early 1984
The relationship had ended by December 1986.

If you want some idea of all of the songs Prince is believed to have recorded (it is not known exactly when he wrote them all - although it is generally believed that he records songs as he writes / develops them, or soon afterwards) according to these dates, the list is considerable (approximately 250 at least between 1983-6), and I recommend you purchase Turn It Up 2.0. which provides detailed reference to recording session dates for released and unreleased material.

As to how many of those songs were directly about, influenced or inspired by Susannah and / or their relationship, for the most part that would ultimately be speculation.

Details can be found here about the book:

If I Was Your Girlfriend (About Prince's jealousy of Susannah & Wendy's close relationship).
Wally (About their break-up)
Big Tall Wall (References the building Susannah lived in)
Crystal Ball (the paintings in the song are Susannah's)
Empty Room
Condition Of The Heart (just like Clairabow)
Forever In My Life (I presume)

I think all these songs directly reference Susannah, obviously the ones written/recorded later are about their deteriorating relationship.

Most likely most other songs about relationships from this period are about Susannah, unless they are fictional.
