Joan does a really good rendition of Jimmy Ruffin's classic...

Another song by Joan Osborne, and probably the one that brought her into the public attention. And just in case you didn't know, this song was written by Prince.

Wow, knowing Prince wrote that song wows me.

Like every other artist, Prince had himself been influenced by and learned from other artists before him, and so he himself in turn wrote a number of songs for other artists while using fake names — e.g. "Christopher" and "Alexander Nevermind" — and without asking for any royalties. He said that it was his way of giving something in return for what he himself had gotten from those who had gone before him.
Apart from "One Of Us", he also wrote "Manic Monday" for The Bangles and "Nothing Compares 2 U" for Sinéad O'Connor, and there are many more such gems which were penned by him under some obscure alias for other artists. And of course, he was also the songwriter and producer of Vanity 6, Sheila E., and — at the time of the movie Purple Rain — of Appolonia 6 and Morris Day & The Time.
