Though Prince died at his Paisley Park home on Thursday (April 21), the iconic musician’s influence will live on both in his own music and in the music he created for other artists.
Over the “When Doves Cry” singer’s 35-plus-year career, he wrote and assisted on songs for everyone from The Bangles to Stevie Nicks, earning several artists beyond himself Billboard Hot 100 hits. Other musicians took such a liking to his music that they covered his songs “Get It Up” and “Nothing Compares 2 U” and made them hits of their own.
To celebrate the legacy of Prince, here are some of the Hot 100 hits written by Prince:
The Bangles, “Manic Monday”
Tevin Campbell, “Round and Round”
