THE BEST PRINCE REMAKE LIST
#I FEEL FOR YOU....CHAKA KHAN
(from Princes 2nd album in 19179 titled "prince)
sounds so good people dont even know it was a remake she added rapping from Melle Mel, and sampling Stevie Wonders "Finger Tips" in a pure masterpiece perfect 10!
#NOTHING COMPARES 2 U....Sinead O'Connor
another Prince masterpice appearing on his little known Prince and the family album of 1985. her 1990 rendition went #1 on the pop charts and a major worlwide hit!!
#DO ME BABY....Melissa Morgan
The only song i can remember by her and minor R&B hit for her in the mid 80's, she didnt go as high on the octave scale as the Prince original but its still good stuff.
#IF I WAS YOUR GIRLFRIEND....TLC
songs remade by the opposite sex always change the gender of who there addressing but in this very well done remake it wasnt necessary! Only Prince couldve gotten away with this type of stuff back in the 80's! Tboz, Left Eye and Chilli did a great job!
#THE BEAUTIFUL ONES....MARIAH CAREY & DRU HILL
Not nearly as erotic as the original but she had the pipes to deliver it to the standard
#THE BEAUTIFUL ONES....MARIAH CAREY & DRU HILL
The results were mixed but he gets credit for a male artist redoing a Prince song very rare thats done Prince songs usually sound best with female remakes like above.
#WHY DONT YOU CALL ME ANYMORE....Alicia Keys
An overlooked Prince Masterpiece of just him on the piano belting out a bluesy song of wanting lonley anguish, Alicia does a great job but just not quite as sad as the orginial.
(Arguably Prince best record! Purple Rain)
