Even though it already sounds like a Prince song, I would've loved to hear Prince take a crack at Big Sky Country by Chris Whitley.

Virtual Reality - Jamiroquai Love Is Stronger Than Pride - Sade Human Nature - MJ Piano & microphone version of Bennie and the Jets by Elton John & maybe rock out and give us an amazing guitar solo to Kashmir & All My Love by Led Zeppelin Those would be amazingly interesting interpretations by the Purple one.

I second "Love is Stronger Than Pride" and "Bennie and the Jets."

The things I would have done to hear him cover "Do I Move You" by Nina Simone! The guitar work??!! The lyrics (sooooo up his alley)??!!! Just the whole vibe of that, would have been INSANITY!



What song/songs do you wish you could have heard from him?

"Pour Some Sugar on Me" by Def Leppard, although I doubt he would have done it in his later years due to his religious convictions, but you never know.

I remember hearing this song on the radio back then, and thinking wow. Now I've just listened to it in a different way, and yes it really does sound like it could be a Prince song! Many thanks for posting it.

I LOVE the cover Prince did of "Crimson and Clover". 2 videos on You Tube: 1 that looks very psychedelic '70s that looks like he might have recorded @ Paisley Park with a dancer added. Just LOVE it!!

The 2nd is on You Tube (for now) promoting a 3 CD Lotus Flower in 2009. Sheila E is on drums. LOVE it, too!

Also, several videos of "Play That Funky Music". The quality of the recordings is all over the place. From 2011 to 2014. But they are out there (for now).

here's a small sample of a big list i have

Superstar- The Carpenters

The Devil Went Down To Georgia- Charlie Daniels (could Prince play the fiddle?)

Gimmie Shelter - The Rolling Stones

Uptown Girl - Billy Joel

Gates Of Steel - Devo

Ana Ng - They Might Be Giants

Space Oddity - David Bowie

I Write The Songs - Barry Manillow

Burn Rubber - Gap Band

Ring Of Fire - Johnny Cash

Destination Unknown - Missing Persons

Its No Good - Depeche Mode

Caught In A Light Sneeze - Tori Amos

Choosey Lover - Isley Brothers
He would have reworked the most epic riff in R&B history tho and I would have loved it!

Rockwell - Somebodys Watching Me (........ just kidding btw, the MJ reference alone would be a goof)
