In 1984, Chaka Khan enjoyed a career-revitalizing smash with "I Feel for You," a spangly, funky, Grammy-winning R&B crossover that featured a harmonica solo from Stevie Wonder and a guest rap from Melle Mel. The track had already been covered on records by The Pointer Sisters and Rebbie Jackson, as well as Prince's self-titled second album, but Khan's version is the one that became a classic. Before any of those versions, though, the song existed only as an unreleased acoustic demo by Prince, who was just 20 at the time.

I don’t like the pointer sisters version of I feel for you which is unusual. I love most all of their shit.

The Pointer Sisters are criminally underappreciated.

Madonna was right: He's a troll.
And sounds like one too.

Yeah...Madonna is really in a position to judge the character of others and is definitely someone you look to for insights into music creation (sarcasm).
