SHREM'S LIST OBSESSION: Top 20 Lost Diva-Classics Penned by Prince

Prince Roger Nelson. Always surrounded by his muses and divas. Aside from an enormous catalogue of famous renditions of his own songs (Sinéad O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U", Chaka Khan's "I Feel For You" or Cyndi Lauper's "When You Were Mine" to name just a few) the Paisley Park multi-instrumentalist wrote and produced numerous gems especially for his female peers and protegées. Many of these rare gems remain sadly omitted when discussing Prince's legacy. Here are 20 of them, as always subjectively cherry-picked by yours truly... Enjoy!
