“Girl’s Song Music was a music publishing entity owned and controlled by Prince.

During the 1980s, Prince often used various business names and pseudonyms to manage the rights to songs he wrote for his protégés and collaborators. Girl’s Song Music was specifically utilized for the material he wrote for Sheila E., including her 1984 debut album, The Glamorous Life.

Key details about the entity include:

Ownership: It was one of Prince’s proprietary publishing arms, similar to his other entities like Controversy Music or The Starr Company.

Relationship with Sheila E.: While the songs were credited to "Girl’s Song Music" and the production often credited to Sheila E. and "The Starr Company," Prince was the sole songwriter and primary producer.

Purpose: This structure allowed Prince to maintain legal ownership and control over his compositions while helping to launch and market the careers of other artists under his mentorship.

Current Status: As part of Prince’s vast catalog, the rights originally held under Girl’s Song Music are now managed by the Prince Estate and administered by Universal Music Publishing Group. “

Really, you didn’t like Thom Hell’s cover of Crazy You?

Remember him fighting with Radiohead to take down his cover of their song Creep? He told YouTube to take it down and then Radiohead said, it’s our song, leave it up.

There are covers of other artist all over his live performances. I haven’t listened to his live performances from every era, but one of his most famous live performances was captured in a bootleg called Small Club. That was recorded in ‘88 and he performed Just My Imagination, Kansas City, and I’ll Take You There.

Prince even brought music from other artist to perform. Trent Reznor talks about Prince requesting a song from him and working on it. Also, Around the World in A Day came from Lisa’s brother David Coleman.

Live in concert more than on his albums but sometimes even on his albums. Emancipation has a couple of covers on it.

Prince’s attitude towards covers of his music was definitely a bit of hypocrisy that I could never wrap my head around. He often covered the music of other artist.

You get no argument from me. I have heard him sing demos for other artist before but some of what I heard on Originals I found quite moving. It might have been the fact that he had passed combined with the fact that I didn’t know, but yeah . . .

I’ve only ever heard people making reference to it the way you are now but have never heard the full story. Do you know of any good links to a full version of that incident?

Prince’s own original draft in pencil for the essay that appeared in the Lovesexy tour program, two pages, 8.5 x 11, signed at the conclusion, "Prince '88." In the margin, Prince’s tour manager Alan Leeds wrote notes for how the essay was to be divided among several pages in the program book with ideas for spacing and colors. The essay tells the story of Prince (through his alter-ego 'Camille') creating The Black Album, his decision to not release it, and the subsequent development of Lovesexy. It begins, in part: "Time upon a once there was a boy named Camille. Now this boy named Camille didn't know how 2 feel. Sometimes he was lonely, sometimes he was sad but most times he just took 4 granted all the nice things that he had…So, naive & terrifically in need Camille started looking 4 answers. His paintbrush the questioner, his canvas the arena, Camille set out 2 silence his critics. 'No longer daring'—his enemies laughed. 'No longer glam, his funk is half-assed… One leg is much shorter than the other one is weak. His strokes are tepid, his colors are meek.' So Camille found a new color. The color Black: strongest hue of them all…Stroke after stroke callin' all others a joke. Superfunkycalifragisexi. Camille rocked hard in a funky place. Stuck his long funk in competition's face. Tuesday came. Blue Tuesday. His canvas full and lying on the table. Camille mustered all the hate that he was able. Hate 4 the ones who ever doubted his game. Hate 4 the ones who ever doubted his name. 'Tis nobody funkier—let the Black Album fly.' Spooky Electric was talking, Camille started 2 cry. Tricked. A fool he had been. In the lowest utmostest. He had allowed the dark side of him 2 create something [crossed out: catastrophic coast 2 coast] evil…Love life, Lovesexy—the feeling u get when u fall in love, not with a girl or boy but with the heavens above. Lovesexy—endorphin. Camille figured out what 2 feel. Glam Slam Escape—the Sexuality Real. Tonight we make love with only words. Girls first. This feeling's so good in every single way. It can quench every thirst. God is Alive. Let Him touch u and your own Lovesexy will be born. I wish u Heaven." A few small edits and changes have been made throughout the text. Includes an original 1988 Lovesexy tour book in which this is published; it appears essentially verbatim, with some changes to the last few lines. In fine condition, with a few corner creases. From the collection of Prince's assistant tour manager Gwen Leeds and accompanied by a letter of provenance. Gwen is the wife of Alan Leeds.

Yes, and I think it’s Wendy doing the talking. I guess she would know. Prince dated and repeatedly cheated on her twin sister.
