I would imagine it would be mostly RnB, so I would hope to
hear old Motown classics...what are your thoughts?

1. Just My Imagination
2. Cruisin'
3. My Girl
4. As We Lay- put his spin on this classic from Shirley Murdock
5. Play That Funky Music
6. Betcha Bye Golly Wow
7. Midnight Train To Georgia

There's so many more...

Oh no not "betcha by golly wow anymore" ! Ok 4 "just my imagination".

GEEZ!

I already want to blast a hole deep in
Rod Stewart's hoarse singing arse!
Damn! He sounds terrible!!

Now you tell me Cyndi Lauper's also got one out?

Best idea is to leave the covers to the live gigs. Maybe 1 or 2 in a release, but a whole album of covers is unnecessary for an artist with any kind of originality.

UH OH.

Ron Isley did one of Burt Bacharach songs. Might have to eat my words!

Key Largo (Sarah Vaughan)
Shoot Your Shot (Divine)

People Get Ready by Curtis Mayfield (I think).

This topic is scaring me

And just how is a guy who shoots off at the mouth about not performing his own standards going to cover someone else's material.

I love Prince. He can be a real clown sometimes but I've learned more about the industry by following him than I could have ever learned in any book.

Yeah 'm with U on this one here...

but everything he does is a classic anyway...

0rlando said:

I agree.

I can so see Jughead becoming a standard in 50 years time.

"Courtin' Time"
"Strollin'"

he done did those already, didn't he?

lawd, pleeease don't let this become a reality...

i'm curious as to how his take of al green's "i wish you were here" would sound...





















...then again, naaah.

I'd love to hear Prince do songs by these Musicans/Bands:

G&R
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Heart
Pearl Jam

* Love to hear him work with:
John Frusciante
Chris Cornell
Heart

Sweet Thing by Rufus

I always liked the way he performed that song.

God, I hope Prince never releases an entire album of old standard covers - one here and there is okay, but not a whole album! My dad has the Rod Stewart 2 albums and the day we start liking the same music is the day I feel very old! I mean, Rod does an okay job on them, but I think you've pretty much reached the end of your creative days if that's all you can think to put out - something exceedingly safe and non-controversial.

Renato Neto plays keyboards on one of the songs on Rod's album you know...

Come on Eileen *crosses fingers*

Take that-Back for good

Wham-Last christmas

Madonna-Papa dont preach

The Neneh Cherry song?

I dont think that suits prince either

IT WOULD HAVE TO BE LIVE 'CAUSE HIS STUDIO COVERS ALL SUCK ASS!

:PIMP:

danielboon...

It's cool that U mention the Cole Porter stuff... There's actually a parralell between him and Prince in their lyrics.

Both songwriters had to be creative in order to cleverly disguise what they were actually saying. Granted... Prince got a few direct shots in, like: "I sincerely wanna fuck the taste outta your mouth...", but for the most part, he used clever metaphors, etc, to get around the label. Most Cole Porter songs were about sex...

Peace!

G.

Every song he performed live from before his own career. definately!

and don't compare him to the sinatra feel, look to parade for that! he did it already.
Prince is also uncomparable to mofo rodsteward (although i liked Roddy when he did D'ya Think I'm Sexy and Infatuation.) :hmmm:

"Patience"...now, THAT would be interesting to me!

jtgillia said:

I agree. Just typing this gives me chills thinking about his version with NPG players.
