I Feel for You

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"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.

  • The repetition of the name Chaka Khan was originally a mistake made by producer Arif Mardin who then decided to keep it. [1]
  • While touring with Prince in 1998 in support of her collaborative album, Come 2 My House, Khan performed "I Feel for You" as a duet with Prince.
  • On an episode of The Mickey Mouse Club, co-stars Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears performed "I Feel for You".
  • On an episode of The Simpsons, Homer Simpson calls out "Save me Chaka Khan, Chaka Khan, Chaka Khan!!!" as his car starts to sink into the ocean.
  • In addition to the harmonica solo, excerpts from "Fingertips Part 2" by Stevie Wonder are sampled during the song.
