Top 5 Prince-related tacks 1986-1990?

A lot is said about Prince's productions from The Time through to the The Family. But what do you think are the 5 best Prince-related (preferably written/ produced) tracks following that golden era through to the new decade?

Here's mine, no particular order.

Yo Mister (Patti LaBelle)
101 (Sheena Easton)

Three (Madhouse)

With U (Jill Jones)

G-Spot (Jill Jones)

Always cry 4 love, never cry 4 pain.

I know it's supposed to be an top 5 thread. But I just want to show appreciation and add the song "Cool Love" (Sheena Easton) to the tracklist. I just love that piece!!

there are too many to list, it's almost impossible even to pick a top 5.

but if one day prince vocal versions of both "time waits 4 no one" and "jaguar"
start doing the rounds, i will go absolutely mental lol

the remix for sheila e's kookoo is another great one love

mia bocca is great too. as is ooh this i need.

i guess that's a top five already lol

let's just throw in "if i could get your attention" too because that is so damn
poppy and fun. prince's own version from recently, alas, did not capture the
energy and fun of the taja version.

ugh. and 101 is also one of my favorites. as is "interesting" falloff see, it's just
impossible to pick five.


and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

lovesexy had some of the best and sad last great b-sides. Today I am still constantly in awe of "This is Not Music This is A Trip. AMAZING!!!
I wish you heaven pts 123
Scarlet Pussy.

Then little by little the magic started to fade. The drugs started to take over dulling his once super sharp musical mind into the dull and mushy 90's dreg.

But that's not to say there was not some amazing stuff in that transitional era.
