Did Prince ever write any other tracks with his father other than The Ladder?

Hi again

I have to say that one of my favorite Prince tracks is the one that he wrote with his father called 'The Ladder' from Around the World In a Day (from my recollection of looking at the sleeve notes years ago, hopefully this is right)??

Do you guys (or sexy gals ; ) know if he ever wrote other tracks wth his father and if so have they been recorded and released ??

...quite a few tracks have John L. Nelson receiving a co-writing credit, but I think it's debatable whether he actually had any involvement in the songs at all.

Prince would usually give various people songwriting credit on his albums despite them having little to do with the recording/writing of the songs.

No involvement on the song, he only gave him credit for the royalties!

good question

prince's father seemed 2 be

even more mysterious than prince

it would have been interesting

2 witness a true collaboration

and performance involving

father and son

although i do think when u hear

prince perform, u also hear some

of his father's influence

Probably to make himself feel better about all the material he stole from other musicians. evillol

True. Any time you see his father's name a on a song, it's just to GIVE him credit so he could get royalties...

John L. was also given credit for ATWIAD and CT's Parade. As already stated he really only contributed to Computer Blue.
