While Eric did say that Madhouse was "basically Prince" and him playing horns... the Ascap database lists some other writers for a few of the songs (Sheila, Levi, and Eric).


Sheila is listed on 10 and 11. The rest only credit Prince. Although for some reason, not all the songs are listed (I only see 1, 2, 6, 7, 9 and 12 as well as 10 and 11).

why...it's where I live...silly...

Crazy monkey.

Eric said that because Eric is correct. However, some did contribute to some of the writing.

The answers can be found here in previous posts (if only the Search facility worked), Turn It Up 2.0 and Days of Wild, and the Library of Congress copyright search database (which in my opinion is better than the ASCAP ACE search facility.

Or...is Eric correct because Eric said that??

And some of that material is actually credited to "Madhouse", who is in fact yet another one of Prince's pseudonyms.

Why it's really Jerome and Jesse...YOUNT!!!

Library of Congress Copyright Search database:

http://www.loc.gov/copyri.../cohm.html

As with the ACE search database, try to be as precise as possible and use as many variants as possible.

So search under, for example:

paisley park
christopher
prince
nelson, prince roger
nelson, prince rogers
rogers
roger

and keep refining.

You'll find most everything you want and more.

Two suggestions though.

If you are into researching this stuff, the work already undertaken by Uptown and regularly revised saves a lot of time - I'd thoroughly recommend investment in Days of Wild and Turn it Up 2.0

http://www.uptown.se/2002/books.shtml

Secondly, be aware that there are many songs listed with a Prince songwriting credit because samples of his work are being acknowledged. Again, this is where, Uptown's work comes into its own because they have sorted out the wheat from the chaff, by excluding those sampled songs in their discographies and songographies.

thanks for the link.

And the link to uptown. But it says I can't order Turn It up cuz it's sold out!

I only care about Prince and Proteges up through Lovesexy so the toher books won't help.

What do i do???

The first edition of 'Turn It Up' has been out of stock for years.

However, I suggest you order 'Turn It Up 2.0', which is the revised edition and, as far as I'm concerned, is still in stock.
