What's your favorite Prince duet?

Please vote for your favorite. These are the ones I could think of, but feel free to add some more:

If A Girl Answers Don't Hang Up lol
Vibrator
Take Me With U
A Love Bizarre
Yellow
U Got The Look
For Love
The Arms Of Orion
Love Song
We Can Funk (supposed to be a duet...)
The Latest Fashion
Diamonds & Pearls
Nothing Compares 2 U
Orgasm lol
Love Sign
However Much U Want
Free
Baby Knows
U Make My Sun Shine

My vote would go for TheArmsOfOrion. The way lead voices interact is something I've never heard before. A pure delight.

The Arms Of Orion..we're probably the only 2 that enjoy it,though.

I think I'd have to go for "For Love", but only in the 12" form.

After that, I'd say A Love Bizarre.


The Worst, easy..."This is the latest fashion swing you're partner on the flooor!"

By the way, you missed off "Yellow", or "Free" as a trio.

What about Vibrator!

Haven't heard all, but has to be something with Sheila E., like 'Lovebizzare' or 'Erotic City'...but 'U got the look' is cool too.

For Love & A Love Bizarre are the best.

I also love U Make My Sunshine a lot and for some reason I happen to dig However Much U Want.

not a popular choice but i'd vote for Love Song. it's not so much Madge's copntribution, it's obviously Prince's and the rest of the track.

or NC2U with Rosie - any version will do.

My fav's "love song" I've always loved that song. When I first bout that album I didn't even know Prince had done a duet with her imagine what a great surprise that was for me.

I do have to give a honorable mention to "a lovebizarre",though

I'm sorry but 'Arms of Orion' is a really really bad song.

Has to be 'Love Song'. Sheer Class.


'We can funk' is also great.

When I first bought the 'Like A Prayer' album,I went straight to "Love Song".I knew about this duet and I couldn't wait to finally hear it...

The above in no particular order.

I bought "Like A Prayer" just because Prince was on it. It wasn't until Vogue came out that I really became a Madonna fan, then went back and rediscovered the rest of "Like a Prayer." Great album. Oh, but this is about Prince, huh? Sorry...

ARMS OF ORION!!!

One of my favorite Prince songs, period! I dont get the people who so adamantly dismiss it as a "bad" song. It's a pure pop ballad, like "Eternity" that he also gave to Sheena Easton.

I love the work they did together, from "Sugar Walls" to "La, la, la, Hee. he, he" to "U Got The look" to "Eternity" and "101" (especially the 12" Prince remix!!!) "Cool Love" and their greatest coolaboration the heavenly, gorgeous "Arms of Orion".

In 1989, when that first came out, a dear Prince friend and I tripped on acid one night and when we got to his apartment to pass out, finally, we put the "Batman" CD on, programmed "Arms of Orion" on repeat and chilled out to that the entire night into the day. I must have heard it for 5-6 hours straight.

Whenever I look up at the sky and I see Orion, the constellation, I sing it out loud. Man, I love that song!
