Huh, didn't know that!
I didn't know Nothing Compares 2 U was a Prince cover for the longest time. I haven't heard it but it's hard to fathom a better rendition than Sinead O'Connor's.
Prince's original isn't great. He did it live a lot and it was more of a duet. Prince would sing the first part, then Rosa Gaines would do the second part. Then they'd come together for the chorus.
Prince has written a lot of songs that you wouldn't know were by him.
Manic Monday by The Bangles is a good one. It wasnt until later that he recorded his own version, which was kinda similar.
Funnily enough, Prince did a cover of One of Us during his super religious phase
