I didn't even know about these other covers. (I'm listening to LeAnn Rimes now. And I'm not big on Country music, but it works.)<BR/><BR/>All weekend VH1 Soul played Prince videos and documentaries. I saw stuff I hadn't seen in ages! They even did an hour or two of the proteges. Vanity 6 anyone? It was great!<BR/><BR/>50 years old! I've been a fan for 30 years.
