By the way, I'd imagine that Purple Rain would be the most likely candidate...I think some group like the 4 Seasons did "Purple Rain", as did Leanne Rhimes...I seem to recall someone having done "Baby I'm A Star" (or was that the Target commercial I'm thinking about?)...

what can i say, you're a natural leader to man.

purple rain does seem the likeliest candidate, im sure all trax have been covered a number of times, but i really want to find the best covers to make an unnoficial tribute., did anyone do computer blue? id probably use when doves cry from the romeo and juliet movie, i cant remember the guys name.

I read a thread a while back where a bunch of musicians/groups did a tribute to Prince IN NYC and they did the whole 1999 album live.

I did a search & couldn't find the thread. But I remember it mentioned that Joan Osborne(One of Us) did "Little Red Corvette".

Lust, there is a website called "The Covers Project" I believe it has a pretty comprehensive listing of artists that covered Prince songs... here is the link my friend.
