Andy Warhol transcended a photographer's copyright by transforming a picture of a vulnerable and uncomfortable Prince into an artwork that made the singer an "iconic, larger-than-life figure," a judge ruled Monday.

In the 1980s, Prince wrote one of the Bangles' biggest hits, 'Manic Monday.' Now, The Prince Estate has released the demo version of the track as part of the artist's posthumous album, Originals.

The album is comprised of 15 songs that Prince wrote for other artists, from "Manic Monday" to "Jungle Love."

The director of "Selma" and this year's "A Wrinkle in Time" is working on a multipart documentary on Prince for Netflix with the support of the late musician's estate.
