Lady - Lenny Kravitz - has an accent on every 8th beat like a Prince song.

Kate Bush/Maxwell's "This Womans Work" Prince would enhance that song soo much with his vocals, and when the band comes in after the bridge, the NPG would sound beautiful there, maybe add a little Clare Fischer. It would give that gorgeous song new life.

Why not just respect the other artists' for their own works? I think its sad that anyone would want all good songs to come from only one source. Its obsessive. disbelief

I remember reading Prince recorded a version of Like A Prayer, I'd love to hear that.

-Black Velveteen is a good one but were it not for prince there would be no Lenny Kravitz so it is a prince song.

I would say any song by the Beatles or the Stones.
I would put his voice between Lennon & Jagger.
He could cover any of their songs with the same impact,
but they don't have his falsetto.
That gives him more color!
We all want a big hit again because
we want to relive the Hysteria & Pandemonium we experienced
when Purple Rain was Hot. Actually, he doesn't care if it happens again or not.

because it was influenced by prince, it's automatically written by prince? that's about the stupidest deduction i've ever come across.

I believe that had Prince wrote Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" with Jeff Buckley's cover version extra lyrics, it would have rivaled Sinead's hit as a world wide smash!!

Don't take iwhat I said to the extreme! All I'm saying is, We all know Prince is his greatest influence..Don't be contentious.

-Besides, I listened to velveteen again and it's not a Prince like song at all.
Infact, the cadence sounds a lot like a vocal duo of Jesse Johnson and David Bowie. With Johnson covering the opening vocals and Bowie covering the chorus. Listen again,an unlikely duet but that's as close as you'll get.

MUSIC ...Madonna's hit song. I always think of Prince when the guitar lick is played.....it would have suited him to a tee.....so much in the vein of "Kiss"...so sparse and simple with an addictive build up. I hate that he didn't sing that song.
