5 Songs You Didn't Know Were Written By Prince

Did you know that THESE five songs were written by #Prince?

Never short of hits, Prince broke the No. 1 spot 19 times with his songs and slipped into the Billboard Hot 100 list 47 times. Though, there were some songs the bonafide hitmaker initially wrote and released that didn’t have the same spark as when they were covered by other artists, while others took on an entirely new life (i.e. Tom Jones, circa 1988).

Then, there were some songs that reached new heights—Chaka Khan’s R&B and funked up “I Feel For You,” Sinead O’Connor’s rawer rendition of “Nothing Compares 2 U”—when someone else took over the wheel of the Prince’s lyrics.

Here are songs Prince initially recorded himself that were later made famous by other artists.
