"Crazy You" get's a World Beat make-over

While browsing some "World Beat" music I found a mix album called "Supperclub presents Nomads 6 - Mixed by Jimmy Jazz". When I saw the track "Crazy You", I said to myself "nahhh, it can't be..." but sure enough it's a cover version of Prince's track from the "For You" album. This version was recorded by a group called "Osunlade". It features wonderful harmony, a sexy global beat, and a lil keyboard improv. Definitely worth checking out.

I'll check it out and listen to it. I love the Supperclub and Nomads. If you're from A'dam you'll know why!

Osunlade is one person... This was originally released on the compilation Rewind 5 back in 2006. It is one of my favorite Prince covers biggrin

First time I've ever heard the song. Both versions very nice.
