Prince gave a song called "I Am" to Johnny Lang

It's not even in the "Vault" book.

I downloaded this song while visiting IPR College 2 years ago. They had these records hanging up. One of them was a Johnny Lang record.
One of the songs was called "I Am" credited 2 (Prince).
I wasnt surprised because the place was owned by St. Paul eye think.... plus they had some formeer Prince engineers or something that worked there.

I 4got eye had it, and last night i listened 2 it and it is nice. Is this really a Prince track? It sounds like it would be one. and it sounds like Eric Leeds on sax at the end maybe.

yes...it is really a P song...
it was highly publicized as being such too...but, somehow, people forgot about it...
now...with that said...
you may also want to look into the song he gave to Kenny Rogers...
it took me 7 years to find it, with only what I just gave for information...
let's see how long it takes you...evillol
...and if anyone else knows, don't give it away...lol

It is in 'The Vault', but because he gave the song to someone else.

Look on pages 314 and 465 - you will see that he gave the song originally to Elisa Fiorillo. Her album was named after the song. Album released in 1990

Johnny Lang covered it at a later date. It is Eric Leeds who plays saxophone on Lang's version released in 1998.

As paisleypark4 indicates that he has 'The Vault', he should be able to name both the Kenny Rogers and Deborah Allen recordings very quickly, even if he doesn't know them off the top of his head (which I suspect he might)

But for those without the book, a quick search on www.google.com should suffice e.g. paste

"Kenny Rogers"+Prince+composed

or

"Deborah Allen"+Prince+composed

in the engine!

Saves searching for 7 years.

Jonny Lang
I Am Lyrics



If being in love means waiting around
So you can dance with me
I am, I am
If being in love means follow the leader
Then this will have to be
I am, I amI am, I am
Baby I amSo in love with you
I am, I am
Gonna get you baby
If it's the last thing I do
I used to think that a pretty face
Meant more than what was inside
I did, I did
If being a good man
means swallowing all my pride
I will, yes I will

Repeat chorus:

I am the one who loves you
I am the one who cares
You could fly me to the moon
If I would find you there
All the riches in this world mean nothing
Without you here
Whoever, whatever, however, whenever,
You need me I'm always here
Men killing their brothers
Nobody wants to go down alone
In this age of uncertainty
Love's worth more than gold
I'd sleep outside your window
If that would make you see
That I'm the only one for you
And you're the only one for me

He mentions something about Johnny Lang in the dvd "Rave Un2 The Year 2000", at the time this was very ironic because the week before me and my friend went to the cd store and my friend was picking out random cd's and he picked up a Johnny Lang one and liked it and bought it,lol. lol Just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in.

He says that he had heard Johnny Lang was at Paisley Park for the show that evening, and invites him to join Prince on stage, but it was a no-show.

"Telepathy" has an extended 12-inch remix -- pretty cool. I used to own the vinyl.
