Which other artists albums did Prince appear on?

From duets on other artist’s famous tracks to inviting some on stage for his own performances, Prince was not opposed to sharing the spotlight.
Throughout his career, the one-person showman lent his numerous talents to artists from all over the world, proffering a hand to change someone’s image, boost someone’s fading career, or build a simple bond of friendship.
Whether it so happened that an artist was jamming to Prince’s liking in an adjacent studio, or someone’s mum needed a song dedicated to her (as was the case with Sinéad O’Connor), the ‘High Priest of Pop’ knew how to make himself liked in the music business.
In possession of a broad catalogue of unreleased material, he either distributed its songs, provided its instrumentation, or collaborated with artists in writing new songs. Here, we choose to highlight some iconic endeavours that have carved their places in rock’s history, but are by no means the complete list of albums in which Prince has appeared: that would be an endless endeavour in itself.
Throughout his efforts, the names he would choose to include in the credits for his collaborations have always been different and deserving of honourable mention, with some notable pseudonyms including Paisley Park, Rocker Happyfella, and Freddie ‘The Phantom’.
