I Feel for You

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the Chaka Khan album, see I Feel for You (album).

"I Feel for You" is a song from Prince's 1979 self-titled album. It was re-recorded in 1984 by Chaka Khan and featured rapping from Melle Mel, and harmonica playing by Stevie Wonder. This new version of the song became a huge hit in the U.S. and UK (reaching #1 in the UK Singles Chart) and relaunched Khan's career. Khan titled her 1984 album after the song.

[edit] Trivia

The repetition of the name Chaka Khan was originally a mistake made by producer Arif Mardin who then decided to keep it. [1]
