Could any Prince songs be hits if covered?

Are there any hidden gems like 'Nothing compares 2 U' or 'I feel for you'?

Suggestions:

i aint really a great fan of covers but im pretty sure theres a lot of songs that could be made into covers.for example shes allways in my hair,peach joy in repitition,anna stesia are all great songs in most prince fans eyes but i think your mainstream music will probablys not have heard any of these .also erotic city,lady cab driver but there are many due 2 the fact that prince has such a large body of quality material that most aint releasd in the chart.

Get real! There are countless ones - but as we all know it totally depends if it is a hip artist/ overly promoted artist or not to get a hit these days!

But for starters, non Prince single songs that have hit potential are:

Sexy dancer ( with heavier, house best)
With you
Violet Blue
Hot Thing
Blue Light
Sweet baby
Damn U
DMSR
International Lover
Private Joy
I like it there
Do it all night
Why you wanna treat me so bad?
When 2 r in love
Adore
Housequake
Comeback
The Truth
Come on
IT'S GONNA BE LONELY
Bambi
When you were mine
GOTTA BROKEN HEART AGAIN
ALL THE CRITICS LOVE U IN NEW YORK
THE BEAUTIFUL ONES
FOREVER IN MY LIFE
Trust
CAN'T STOP THIS FEELING I GOT
THE QUESTION OF U
INSATIABLE
The max
Cindy C
Race
ENDORPHINMACHINE
SHHH
DOLPHIN
BILLY JACK BITCH
JAM OF THE YEAR
RIGHT BACK HERE IN MY ARMS
SEX IN THE SUMMER if renamed love in the summer
SOUL SANCTUARY
ONE KISS AT A TIME
LET'S HAVE A BABY
SLEEP AROUND
ACKNOWLEDGE ME
SO DARK (CB version)
INTERACTIVE
LAST HEART
THE RIDE
GOODBYE
ONE OF YOUR TEARS
5 women
SO FAR, SO PLEASED
THE SUN, THE MOON AND THE STARS
BABY KNOWS

[b]I can't imagine any of those songs being hits. I mean, you can talk about trends and promotion etc. but Prince has had a lot of songs that would be hits at any time for anyone eg.Nothing compares to u, TMBGITW, I wanna be your lover, I feel for You, Purple Rain, The Belle of St.Mark etc..

"Do, Me Baby" was a hit for Mellisa Morgan.

I've always thought "My Love Is Forever" could be a hit if sung by a teenage girl with a Hip-Hop vibe.

Its just so damn Summery!
