Morgan James Call My Name Morgan James is showing why she’s a Juilliard School graduate! The singer-songwriter takes on Prince’s “Call My Name,” giving it a soulful, eclectic makeover, while showing off her pristine and beefy vocal chops. If this cover doesn’t stir your musical taste buds, we don’t know what will… she’s amazing! Currently signed to Epic, James released her Nina Simone-inspired debut album, Morgan James Live, in December 2012 and followed up in 2014 with the new, all-original studio release, Hunter.
Not bad at all...

This is an unbelieveable cover. Prince this is the first artist on your duets album. What a beautiful gem of a song reflecting the light of this talented shining soulful voice. The horn part is cool too.

http://youknowigotsoul.co...g-broadway YouKnowIGotSoul: “Call My Name” is the current single, and a Prince cover. What drew you to want to cover that song? Morgan James: I’m a huge Prince fan and I had been singing “Call My Name” for several years. I sang it in the first show I ever did. It’s been in my body a long time. I arranged it and I just love it. I love it from a woman’s perspective; I think it’s very intimate and tender. His lyrics are very romantic and appeal to me. I played it for LA Reid and he loved it and he knew that it probably was not going to be approved because Prince doesn’t approve a lot of songs; he doesn’t like people covering his songs. His lawyer said no and we initially released “Hunter” without “Call My Name” on it. Finally LA Reid basically called Prince and asked him to listen to it and he did and he got right back to him and said he loved it; so we had clearance. We took it to radio immediately, we pulled the other version of “Hunter” so we could add “Call My Name” and that’s why “Hunter” is coming out in a month. Everything kinda changed with “Call My Name” because we took it to WBLS, they started playing it, and “Heart & Soul” started playing it and it’s had a life of its own. I feel really, really blessed that Prince gave me his blessing. |

WOWWW!!
Thought I was dreaming again when the alarm clock went off and I heard this version on the Steve Harvey show.
First, wish this was my girl Teena Marie.
Love that there's a bandwagon of singers (who are REALLY good) will start to record Prince covers. More recognition for him. STAY CHOOSEY PRINCE!
ThankUPrince! | |
