Prince's music has always been the center of my heart's universe.
From the very first time I heard Soft and Wet on the radio I was instantly hooked into the perplex world of Prince's colorful musical genious.

I then went and bought the CD and it blew my mind. I have never heard such an awesome album to date. The falsetto voice in For You struck a beautiful chord of hapiness in my heart, and it was that day that I fell in love with Prince and his music genious.

As I traveled along the Prince train, I came to grow into his other albums, but nothing since has ever touched my sould quite like For You. This is a musical piece of artwork delicately crafted and beautifully put together. Prince being a solo artist u can tell the absolute genious he put into his first album. Not even Sign O The Times had this much affect on me. Maybe it was because he was such a new artist, new and inovative, at the time. Maybe it was because I grew up listening to the Jackson 5 and the stylw was so close and so similar that I was just shocked and perplexed. Yet, another genious, close to Michael Jackson, would soon hit the stage. Only then one could not tell, as Michael and Prince hadn't come into their own yet. As you can very much tell, I am a fan of Both.

For You is an album I can listen to any time of the year, and in any mood I am in. I can't really say that for any other Prince album but this one. I listen to it while I'm driving, cat sitting, sleeping, doing chores, and of course cooking, my favorite past time. I sometimes sit and close my eyes and get washed away in the beautiful melodies of For You.

As I am drawing this post to a close, For You will always be the best Prince album for me. It has definately been a close and wonderful friend throughout my entire life, and even today, I still enjoy listening too it.



Peace, Love, and Respect

I agree! It is one of the most underated albums in his catalogue. It flows so well until U get 2 "I'm Yours".

Beautiful Comments...."For You," will always be my favorite album of all time...The first brick of Prince's career is indeed the strength that supports the following years of great music, and the years yet unsung.

I found it in NYC and bought it, definitely a masterpiece, his voice is beautiful

It's one of my favourite Prince records too.

He sounds so sweet and innocent, singing about young love. It's great!

...as prince was creating 'For You'...his feeling and emotion 2 create its art..must have been the best high...so high how high?...he was singing 2 his soulmate...his 1st album gave 'birth' 2 her...whomever she is...prince w/Afro will always rule my world--->mzsexybaby

One of my faves DEFINATELY!!!!

SO BLUE
CRAZY YOU
SOFT AND WET


Love the whole album but those 3 are my faves.

I love it

Great album.

One of my top Prince albums. Very underated among Prince fans. But I love it.

I like to listen to it once in a blue moon too. "I'm Yours", "Soft And Wet", and "My Love Is Forever" are great songs. I'll take "For You" anyday over "Purple Rain".

It's indeed a great album with rich texture's and an amazing truly 'solo' effort. I grew up listening to J5 too, but I immediately knew there was something unique about Prince. He reminded me of EWF in musicality and Switch in vocals. I still remember the Summer of Soft and Wet great memories. I was 'dating' a young man with eyes like Prince, hopelessly in lust.
