By the mid-1980s, Prince was dominating the charts even as a writer/producer withsongs he’d composed and recorded for others. In addition to releasing nine of his mostcommercially successful full-length albums, he also wrote and recorded endless reels of materialfor proteges The Time, Vanity 6, Sheila E., Apollonia 6, Jill Jones, the Family, and Mazarati.Occasionally, Prince’s original demo recordings would be used as master takes on their albums,with only minor alterations to the instrumentation and a replacement of the vocal tracks. Othertimes, artists would rely on his demos to guide them through their own recording process, withPrince’s initial take informing their final version of his song. The aggregate effect was a completesaturation and transformation of the pop music landscape, with Prince bothleading and subverting mainstream culture.-Several of the iconic songs found onOriginalswere considerable hits for the artists whorecorded them. Sheila E.’s “The Glamorous Life” reached #1 on the dance charts in 1984, whilethe enormous success of “Manic Monday” propelled the single and its accompanying album,The Bangles’Different Light, to the #2 spot on the pop charts. The Time’sIce Cream Castle,featuring the top 20 “Jungle Love”, spent a whopping 57 weeks on the Billboard 200. And in1991, Martika enjoyed international success with “Love… Thy Will Be Done”,a top 10 hit in France, Australia, the UK and the USA.-Originalspulls back the curtain to reveal the origins of these familiar songs, in addition todeeper album cuts such as Vanity 6’s “Make-Up,” Jill Jones’s “Baby, You’re a Trip,” andKenny Rogers’ “You’re My Love.” The album also features Prince’s majestic original 1984version of “Nothing Compares 2 U,” released in 2018 as a standalone single.
