The original is by Prince and it’s him singing with acoustic guitar. Chaka Khan’s version has so much life and energy and Stevie wonder plays harmonica on it!

A very specific obsession. An unmistakable sound; nobody else plays like Stevie, which is why he shows up on so many other artists’ songs.
Probably out of sync with most people's mental lists but here’s my top five:
1. Chaka Khan "I Feel For You"Â
2. “Boogie On Reggae Woman”
3. Eurythmics "There Must Be An Angel"Â
4. "Isn't She Lovely"Â
5. "That Girl" (there's a drop in the solo that's THE sampled hook for the 2Pac track “So Many Tears”)

Log off Amazon prime and step into the real world. Go to a local physical store in your community. Look your neighbor in the eye and put money in their hand.
Go to a local venue and hear what musicians in your community are creating. Talk to them about it afterwards. Buy a T-shirt or cd or whatever they’re selling, they’ll make more money from that than from thousands of streams. Seriously, Spotify pays a fraction of a penny per stream.
Forget about Starbucks. Check out a local coffee shop instead. Learn your barista’s name and tip them.
Go to your local book store and library. Look around and see what book covers catch your eye. Ask employees for recommendations instead of just reading whatever’s trending on #booktok.Â
Go to your local museums, farmers market, theaters, restaurants, whatever your community has going on.
When you go local, you see your community in a new way. You make friends and feel more connected to the people around you.
You will discover new things organically instead of relying on an algorithm. You keep your money circulating in your community instead of making billionaires richer. You will have a greater appreciation for where you live.
P.S. Pay In CashÂ
