Shawn Colvin would go on to win both Record of the Year and Song of the Year for "Sunny Came Home”. BUT Paula Cole and Sarah McLachlan would also go home having won multiple Grammys that night

It’s no surprise that Janelle Monáe was both friends with & mentored by Prince. Their final collaboration was on 2018’s “Dirty Computer”(https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kqbZeag2Ai_9wn4GEH_Pfg0KfNTmqv2I0&si=RPjB3bfF3w1iPp9e) in particular the song “Make Me Feel” ( https://youtu.be/tGRzz0oqgUE?si=CKvZ-rlLAvKklicP)
