She actually gave an interview saying that it took 2 years for her to get permission to record this cover because Prince's policy is so strict. But LA Reid had Prince listen to it and he personally approved it. And it takes a miracle for Prince to allow a cover of his.
10 year old song. saw Prince in concert and he gave out free CD's with this song on it. I kept in on replay in my Chevy Lumina....I will have a deja vu. she is good. she gave this song some respect. love it.
I too generally hate Prince covers but I heard this on the car radio (rarely listen to the radio btw) and literally stopped talking to my friend to ask if he knew who it was. He didn't so I went home and searched until I found it.
When I first heard this song on the radio I thought it was a old school song, Super good. I had to find out who made this. I was looking for a week for this to play back on the radio.
she killed this song..she comes from all angles and then just lets out the bolt of soul that takes over and brings this song to another level...one of my favorites
To my black brothers and sisters who say white people cant sing soul or r and b-- all music touches all people. I feel this music so deeply in my soul and I am white. Audra Mc Donald sings classical music, invented by old white dudes and no one complains...This girl has the heart and soul of r and b in her!! Good Music is universal people!!
WOW! Just heard this in musicchoice and thought i would lose my mind. This is what singing i all about. This woman sounds like she has been touched by Aretha. And I will leave it at that!
Sarcasm alert, I thought Prince was irrelevant cause he had hits thirty years ago, it's not possible that someone has heard his newer songs and felt compelled to make one her own, what's this world coming to? All kidding aside, this version is wonderful and unique, great job Morgan.
I read some of the comments and as a consumer and producer I think people are not understanding what this re-make really is. Prince will always gets total credit for being the original writer of this song but for Morgan James its simply showing off her ability to sing on a level she might not have the creativity or skills to create. This track could be a great platform for industry producers & writers to take interest in her and could help take her to the next level. All artist cant do everything only few can really deliver the whole package. With the assistance and support she has the potential to be a legend too.
Michael Green okay, but that was not my point. vocally, as a singer, she nailed it. the arrangement was also good from the perspective that it sounds nothing like the original. she made it her own.
Michael Green whatever man....if ur so bad, then lets hear u sing the song. u cant because u have nothing to offer. the only talent u have is watching tv and eating a bag of chips. good riddance!
Figures- The "industry" gives us freak shows like Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Katy Perry, and Miley Cyrus and women like this have more talent and passion in their pinky than any of those "super stars".
Lady Gaga, I believe, has finally quit listening to the advice of the "music moguls" who care not about her, but the money they can make off her looking like a freak. I think she's come to her senses, as evidenced by her work with Tony Bennett and the Grammy tribute to Sound of Music. Stephanie can sing.
We'll see. I find it hard to believe that ANYONE would allow themselves to be totally made over into "looking like a freak", crazy money and fame or not, unless they were fine with being that way on at least some level. It may not be by any means the heart of who they are, but it's still a role they're willing to play and be. I'd say odds are the Tony Bennett and other stuff are side projects but at the end of the day she'll still be the Lady Gaga that has been created already. Maybe not though.
Jason Hawes I think Lady Gaga is using more of a "shock" publicity stunt with the costumes and the "Mother Monster" persona. I agree, I think the stuff with Tony Bennett are just side projects and her latest album was another typical Lady Gaga album. She has toned down some of the crazy costumes and I think she is slowly starting to just become a slightly eccentric singer/songwriter. But this is just my thoughts on the matter.
Jason Hawes Concordo integralmente! O que mais tem na indústria atual são ídolos fabricados. Morgan James deixa essa turma toda citada no chinelo. E para terminar de arrasar, ainda por cima é linda. Não precisava, mas é!
Jason Hawes Lady Gaga is extremely talented. Her Superbowl performance sealed that. used a microphone. didn't miss a note or a beat. She has paid her dues and deserves respect as being one of the greatest artists of our time.
it hurts me when people put color over the music you people don't get it its not bout what race u r its about quality of the music the talent the skill to make good music don't be mad cause other people want 2 make soulful n loving song and who are you to say they shouldn't make our music when we don't even make this type music anymore yes we have a few dat do but its not real n soulful like it use to be and yes im black
I think people forget that Prince won a grammy for this song. Glad she's introducing a whole new audience to the song and his genius.
Drop the knowledge.
RIP Prince. A great artist. He allowed Morgan to record this song and he seldom did so as he was very protective of his recordings.
I kanda forgot about prince altogether. If he could have done his music this good I would have listened to him.
I am so glad Prince gave her permission to song this song. She is killing it.❤🔥🎶
Another super underrated artist!
She actually gave an interview saying that it took 2 years for her to get permission to record this cover because Prince's policy is so strict. But LA Reid had Prince listen to it and he personally approved it. And it takes a miracle for Prince to allow a cover of his.
Yeah, there is a video interview here, about her finding out that Prince approved her. She cried.
I'm just hearing this today on my work, anffg that wry as all I could think was did she get permission.
Now I can really enjoy it. Lol..
She bodied this song!!!!!! MS. JAMES, YOU CAN SIT WITH US!!!!
10 year old song. saw Prince in concert and he gave out free CD's with this song on it. I kept in on replay in my Chevy Lumina....I will have a deja vu. she is good. she gave this song some respect. love it.
Did not know this was a Prince cover. Morgan kills it. Love her version of this song.
Amazing cover. RIP Prince.
***Bowing Down*** Absolutely beautiful remake of the classic song!!!
Ij
Absolutely the real thing! If Prince heard it I bet he was proud of her performance.
Im not big on Prince covers for obvious reasons but she did a damn good job with this and the horns are driving me up the wall !!!!
many ppl love prince. What are the obvious reasons you don't like him?
Ashley Peters I love Prince! I don't like covers to his music because most of the time they disappoint because they can't live up to the original
rodneyp08 This particular cover actually has Prince's seal of approval. Morgan James is going places
I too generally hate Prince covers but I heard this on the car radio (rarely listen to the radio btw) and literally stopped talking to my friend to ask if he knew who it was. He didn't so I went home and searched until I found it.
I didn't realized it was Prince she did a Damn good job!
Wooooh! That high note tho'... flawless and effortless :')
Excellent. I knew when my head started bobbing that you did the original justice.
First time I heard her belt out "making love" involuntary tears fell from my eyes. She is amazing.
... Me too !🙃
It’d take a real miracle for Prince to personally approve a cover now!
Thank you for respecting the essence of Prince's song. Great job :)
Heard this on the radio last night. Her voice is so rich. Awesomeness!
You're amazing! Wish you got more attention though...
Man music is music. Who cares what race...music is music. Shut up...sit back...and enjoy it. It's beautiful.
I love this..!! Plus Morgan James + Postmodern Jukebox compliment each other.. you two SHINE together! :)
I knew right away it was Prince's song!! LOVE the way she saaaang this!!!
kind of reminds me of the late great teena marie... giving me goosebumps right now
stunning vocal, stunning lady, incredible range. Clear and obvious signs of a classically trained voice, kind regards, Qx
Gawd...that voice! Amazing!
Beautiful. Congrats Morgan!

WOW! Just heard this in musicchoice and thought i would lose my mind. This is what singing i all about. This woman sounds like she has been touched by Aretha. And I will leave it at that!
Wow she's amazing. Never heard of her before but I should have.
Sarcasm alert, I thought Prince was irrelevant cause he had hits thirty years ago, it's not possible that someone has heard his newer songs and felt compelled to make one her own, what's this world coming to? All kidding aside, this version is wonderful and unique, great job Morgan.

Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Some days this hits harder than others.
TALENTTTT alll through this wonderful woman's voice
This is so stunning, beautiful voice
NO JOKE, THIS LADY IS.
Her voice is amazing...the versatility to go from singing Defying Gravity to singing an RnB classic is great. She could play Elphaba and Glinda easily
wow, she nailed it!! i love how she put her own style to the song. does not sound at all like prince's version. double thumbs up!!!
Michael Green okay, but that was not my point. vocally, as a singer, she nailed it. the arrangement was also good from the perspective that it sounds nothing like the original. she made it her own.
and that is your opinion. good for you. but clearly not mine.
blah blah blah......moving on.
Michael Green whatever man....if ur so bad, then lets hear u sing the song. u cant because u have nothing to offer. the only talent u have is watching tv and eating a bag of chips. good riddance!
M Green is an idiot. Morgan James is awesome!
I know it's only been 3hrs...but I love it when you call my name💓
OMGOODNESS TOTALLY AWESOME VOICE!!
