The best songs Prince never wrote... I decided to put this hear because there are more people in this forum who aren't afraid to venture out into artists besides P 
Plus there weren't be as many overzealous nuts who attempt to crap on the musical tastes of others. In your opinion what are some of the most Prince-ish compositions written and performed by other artists. For example: D'Angelo - Untitled (How Does It Feel) Beck - Debra Joi - Dance With Yesterday Outkast - Toilet Tisha Nikka Costa - 'Til I Get To You (pre-Lenny version) Help me out... name your choices.

Thanks. Awww, name 'em... especially the Meshell tracks. I have all of her albums but the only tracks of hers that scream "Prince-vibe" to my ears are Love Song # 3 and Jabril.

Down Here in Hell - Van Hunt Chicken Grease - D'Angelo When Will You Call - Bilal You Are - Bilal Seconds of Pleasure - Van Hunt The Van Hunt song that truly channels Prince to me is "The Thrill of This Love".. I agree with funkpill that the ones you mentioned have more of a Curtis vibe. | |

It's quirky enough to have made a Prince B-side at least.  | |

But that whole album, with the exceptions of 'Hold My Hand', has a Curtis/Sly vibe. Just heard samples of his latest album. Now I hear some Prince on that one..  | |

The only songs I can think of is:
Debra by Beck Soul Sista by Bilal I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

George Michael's "Hard Day", it's the best Camille song that Prince never wrote. I'm the first mammal to wear pants. | |

Toilet Tisha is so good, I'd replace the title track of Controversy with it. All you others say Hell Yea!!  | |

The Family Stand did a song called Education Of Jamie, which is as good as Purple Rain or Gold, no joke. No surprise that Prince used Sandra St. Victor for Emancipation album. All you others say Hell Yea!! | |

Thanks, 2Freaky, for reminding me of the Family Stand.
"Ghetto Heaven" had a real Prince vibe. I couldn't believe he didn't have anything to do with it, when it dropped. | |
