YUP I remember this 💜 @Prince 💜 #RIP Little Brother 💋 https://youtu.be/6v43z_4r_6k #Prince #IFeelForYou #Prince40 Prince - I Feel For You [Acoustic Demo] (Official Audio) ・・・ To mark the 40th anniversary of Prince’s second album, Prince (released on October 19, 1979), The Prince Estate and @warnerrecords are pleased to announce the surprise release of a previously unheard, solo acoustic demo recording of the Grammy-winning Prince track “I Feel for You.” • • The acoustic demo is available now on streaming services and as a limited-run 7” single. The two-track vinyl single includes the acoustic demo of “I Feel for You” on the A-side and the original studio recording on the B-side, and is available as a Made to Order release exclusively at Prince.com for the next seven days only. https://store.prince.com/store • • The special, stripped-down demo recording captures a 20-year-old Prince in a raw, intimate moment, and begins with the sound of the artist pressing the record button on a cassette tape recorder and picking up an acoustic guitar. The recording was created in the winter of 1978-1979, around the time Prince was preparing to make his solo debut at the Capri Theater in North Minneapolis, and it was recently rediscovered on one of the countless cassette tapes stored in his legendary vault. • • “I was blown away,” says Prince vault archivist Michael Howe. “Here is 20-year-old Prince thinking aloud, feeling his way through the song. You hear his incredible talent shining through on acoustic guitar, which is not something he typically showcased, and his guide vocal is astonishingly great.” • • The fully produced, studio recording of “I Feel For You” was included on Prince’s second album, Prince. It would become a hit a few years later, when it was covered by Chaka Khan and released as the title track of her solo album, I Feel for You, in 1984. Her version, which featured a cameo by the rapper Melle Mel, became a Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned two Grammys—including a Grammy Award for Best R&B Song that honored Prince’s contributions as songwriter. • #PrinceIFeelForYou https://www.instagram.com/p/B3xW3ndhvCQ/?igshid=c9rwu857ct2d
