Work With Prince
Nelson was a major influence on Prince's music, writing (or co-writing) some music which was released by his son in the 1980s. With some of these songs, Prince gave Nelson a co-writing credit for using chord sequences Nelson often used, rather than Nelson actually co-writing the songs with Prince.
ASCAP credits, or co-credits, him with the following:
- "Father's Song" and "Purple Rain Cues", from the film Purple Rain, 1984
- "Computer Blue" from the Purple Rain album and film, 1984
- "Around The World In A Day" and "The Ladder", from the album Around The World In A Day, 1985
- "Christopher Tracy's Parade" and "Under The Cherry Moon" from the album Parade, 1986
- "Under The Cherry Moon Cues" from the film Under The Cherry Moon, 1986
- "Scandalous!" from the Batman album and film, 1989
