ARTIST: Vanity 6

TITLE: Nasty Girl [Remix]   X

LABEL: Warner Bros, 1982

Originally featured in the Vinyl Vault as a bonus track when we discussed the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack. Although the song isn't on the actual soundtrack release, it was reportedly hand-picked by Eddie Murphy for the scene in the strip club. --Steve-O

 

ARTIST: Sheena Easton

TITLE: Sugar Walls [Remix]   X

LABEL: EMI, 1984

Sheena Easton would later return the favor by singing backing vocals on Prince's "U Got the Look," then writing "The Arms of Orion" as another duet.

 

ARTIST: Chaka Khan

TITLE: I Fell For You [Remix]   X

LABEL: Warner Bros, 1984

Prince won a Grammy for writing the best R&B song of 1984. But Chaka Khan had only covered "I Feel For You;" which originally appeared on Prince's own 1979 self-titled album.

 

ARTIST: Bangles

TITLE: Manic Monday [Remix]   X

LABEL: CBS, 1985

Prince originally intended this song for Apollonia, but later gave it to the Bangles as a much better fit. He is credited under the pseudonym, "Christopher," after his character in "Under the Cherry Moon."

 

ARTIST: Martika

TITLE: Love ... Thy Will Be Done   X

LABEL: Columbia, 1991

Prince liked Martika's somber "Toy Soldiers" song on the radio, and recruited her during his transformation from sensual to spiritual.  --Steve-O
