Prince and his songs at the BBC https://www.bbc.co.uk/pro...s/m0020zwg BBC2 in the UK are showing right now (well it’s nearly finished but you’ll be able to watch on catch up on the iPlayer if over here). “A collection of hits from one of pop music’s greatest geniuses - Prince, aka ‘The Artist Formerly Known as Prince’, aka ‘the Unpronounceable Symbol’, and more. Whichever alias he assumed, Prince was always fascinating as both a performer and songwriter, and here are the best of his own appearances on a selection of BBC shows, alongside a rich selection of performances from artists who covered his songs over the years. The playlist includes Beyonce, Muse, Tom Jones, The Bangles, Pink, Alicia Keys, Michael Kiwanuka, Chaka Khan and, of course, Sinead O’Connor, all brought together to demonstrate beyond doubt why Nothing Compared 2 Him.” Nice little show with some of the lesser known tracks played plus songs by others (e.g. a performance of the Holy River, Get Wild on Top Of The Pops introduced by Lenny Henry, Martika doing Martika’s Kitchen, Muse doing SOTT, Beverley Knight’s version of “I Wanna Be Your Lover”. Worth a watch. They are playing the Syracuse concert later and a documentary is on right now, ‘Prince: A Purple Reign” narrated by Trevor Nelson. There may or may not be something coming! |

I quite enjoyed the Michael Kiwanuka "Sometimes it Snows..." cover, which I think was from Radio1 Live Lounge. Hadn't seen that one before. Lovely. Just somewhere in the middle,
Not too good and not too bad. | |

Agree about the Michael Kiwanuka cover. Also really enjoyed the Beverley Knight version of "I Wanna Be Your Lover" and thought the Muse version of "Sign O The Times" was tremendous. |
