This week The Steve Shannon Show has been featuring many of these hit songs by other people that Prince wrote on the Classic Jam Challenge.

Vulture.com has the story of how this song came to be. You won't believe how quickly this collaboration came together. It's like it was just meant to be.

To say Prince was a prolific artist and songwriter almost seems like an understatement. ABC news reported that his music vault underneath his Paisley Park Studios in Minnesota has been drilled open and the discovery was astonishing. It's purported that there's enough unreleased much in that vault that they could release a full Prince album every year for the next century.
