It sounds straight off of the "For You" album--even though it's uptempo, it just reminds me a lot of "Baby"

I should leave it to one of the scholars but I think he made that in the same sessions as the songs on the For You album. There's a boot w/ early versions of songs off that album & Storm is in there too...

1977

february 9th 1977.

Slap a loser sticker on me and kick me in the ass, but please somebody tell me what "Storm" is.

Early Prince song (lyrics by Chris Moon) - "Make It Through The Storm".

Several recorded versions are listed in Uptown's 'The Vault', the earliest dating back to 1976.

Two subsequent versions are listed as having been recorded during 1977 sessions, including one in the 'For You' sessions.

The most recent, again unreleased, version was recorded with Sue Ann Carwell in 1978.

A different recording entitled 'Make It Through The Storm' was later released by Carwell in 1981 using the original lyrics but with different music, and with no Prince involvement.

I always thought the circulating version was from the sessions that resulted in the "Prince" -album?

as far as I know "storm" is Lenny Kravitz and Jay Z.
