Hi, could someone please provide me with some information regarding these two tracks.

'Motherless child': who was this song originally sung by? i have a video of prince tearing this song to bits on video.however, im unsure as to when and ahere it was performed. he is wearing a really bright multicoloured strippey ripped jumper with a hat on. he's playing the purple hibibi 9it looks as though its in front of a select audience for t.v)

'Days of wild' (live): on a bootleg recoeding of this track, Prince starts a chant of "i'm back.. i'm back...in love again". Was this taken form another song or was it just ad-libbed? If it is the former then from what song was it taken?

Thanx

Not sure.

'Motherless child': - sounds like the septimo performance

That indeed is The Septimo performance. I checked allmusic.com and it's an old spiritual(gospel?) song made famous by people like Sarah Vaughn and the complete title is called Sometimes I feel Like a Motherless Child.Don't have a clue about the other one.

"I'm Back in Love Again" was done by a 70's R&B group - maybe LTD or something... Anyone?

I think it is LTD whose lead singer was Jeffrey Osbourne because he still does the song live.
