For all the talk about his creativity, I am still looking for the first song he was responsible for that I actually care to listen to.

He wrote hit songs for Sinead O'Connor, Chaka Khan, Tom Jones, the Bangles and Tevin Campbell, Sheila E., Sheena Easton, Stevie Nicks, Patti LaBelle, Tevin Campbell, Martika, Alicia Keyes among others. Ever hear of them? Chaka Khan "I Feel For You". The Bangles "Manic Monday". Tom Jones "Kiss". Sinead O'Connor "Nothing Compares to U". Etc. Lots of top 100 hits by other singers were written by Prince.

Thanks for the mention roadcat.

I do like some of those songs, so there is a chance that if I knew more about all the songs he wrote for others, I might have a lot more appreciation of him.
