Songs that could be by Prince

...but aren't?

The first time I heard "Hard Day" from George Michael's Faith, I automatically thought it sounded very much like a P song, esp the end which is sung in a Camille voice...


any others?

"Rush,Rush" Paula Abdul&I did hear something years ago about this song but it ain't no biggie but it sure sounds like Prince all over it IMHO.Ryhthm Syndicate "P.A.S.S.I,O,N" very influenced Jam there&they worked with St Paul Peterson back in the day as well.off the Deele's "Eyez of s Stranger" Album the cut "So Many Thangz" has the Suspect Minneapolis Groove there.

How about..."Untitled (How Does It Feel)"--D'Angelo.

June7 said:"Lover's Lane" - by Georgio

Excellent! I've mentioned Georgio on this board and I believe I've mentioned Jak as well. I can't seem to find any info on the latter, though. allmusic.com doesn't even have a profile on him.
Methinks he might be flippin' burgers at Jack-in-the-Box these days. Not that there's anything wrong with that. smile

I recently inquired about this song in another post. I still want to know if that "Camille voice" is Jody Watley?

Nah, I'm pretty sure this is GM's voice, only sped up. In my opinion, this sounds a lot like George... probably the same thing that happened with Camille... George's vocals were sped up to sound more feminine...

Beck's "Debra", but with different lyrics. Prince wouldn't be singing about no Hyundais or JC Pennys broads.

ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT-"Tenessee"
Came out at the same time 'Gett Off' did on radio when I was listening day in- day out to hear it...'Tenessee' came on and I was like "ooh this must be it!" LOL...

JANE CHILD-"Don't Wanna Fall in Love"
I for sure thought this was a Paisley Park artist or a Prince produced single...

SHALAMAR-"Games" & "Circumstantial Evidence"
Obvious rip-offs...Mikki Free (lead singer) was a Prince wanna be...I remember him wearing a denim jacket much like P's SOTT jacket...(peace signs, beads, and all)

NICOLE RENEE-"Telephone"
Very...very...VERY Prince inspired...heck most of her album was...but it was a good one at that!
Every minute of last night is on my face today....

Shalamar's "Games" Bit Cameo's "She's Strange"&Other Cameo Jams far more than Prince's Sound at the time IMHO.
