Prince Songs: 10 Covers That Celebrate Singer's Iconic Sound

One of the most groundbreaking artists of all time has made his final exit.

Prince Rogers Nelson died Thursday morning in Minneapolis at the age of 57, with a career spanning almost 40 years.

The iconic musician had a style like no other. Often blurring the lines between genres such as rock, new wave, R&B and funk, Prince created a sound that was simply incomparable.

Over the many years that passed since his debut album "For You" released in 1978, Prince's music has had a major influence on other artists, such as Tom Jones, MC Hammer and Goo Goo Dolls.

Here's a look at 10 artists who have covered some of Prince's hit songs over the years.

Sinead O'Connor
