Prince's voice in 1977

Just listened to the "Soft & Wet" demo from 1977, as well as the '77 version of "Make It Through The Storm" and "Just As Long As We're Together".

It's really interesting to hear how P's voice developed from this time to the release of 'For You' the next year. It really changed a lot!

"Make It Through The Storm" is a great song! One that was never officially released, but should have been.
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

for those who didn't know geek

"Make It Through the Storm" is the b-side of Sue Ann Carwell's 1981 single "Let Me Let You Rock Me" (WB 49750).

Yes, but he can still do a hell of a falsetto! But his voice has definitely changed over the years. But not as much as some other artists with 30 year careers. He still has awesome power in all his registers.
Speaking of "For You", two of the songs on that album are on the Best Song by Prince ranking on Rankopedia. "Just As Long As We're Together" is # 24 and "Soft & Wet" is # 40. I agree those are some great songs. Check it out here and let's get these songs higher up the ranking! http://www.rankopedia.com...1/2998.htm

I love all of tose songs you just mentioned from '77. I'm just wondering in what ways you feel it changed.
Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

Yeah, her version did get released but credited to Chris Moon when Prince wrote it. The version I was referring to was Prince's own demo of it from 1977, however.
