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.

[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]
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.
