It is actually his song. He recorded it first. Alicia remade it

[@99annanic]

Prince doesn’t let anyone cover his songs. He knows talent when he sees and he definitely saw it in Alicia.

[@miszjackson7957]

There’s a lot of artist that covered Prince songs. He like to be asked. I can’t stand non-Prince fans giving out Prince 411. Do me Baby, Stephanie did this song, I feel for you... and a countless #

Timeless music

[@robertberg2606]

Prince composed and arranged this . He sings with a falsetto voice so he must have known it was made for a woman.Years later Alicia asked to cover it . When Prince heard her version, he called her , and said the song now belongs to her , which is the biggest compliment he could pay her !!

[@katherinenovillo7190]

I would like to give additional data to your comment. Prince didn't called Alicia, it was her to call Prince to ask for permission to sing his song because he didn't allow others to sing his songs. Prince told her that he had being watching her and was ok with her singing it. This story was told by Alicia at one of her concerts where she played the song after he died. The way she tells the story is very cute, you should google it.

[@JimmyE9595]

@@katherinenovillo7190 I'm reading right now More Myself by Alicia Keys, and what you are saying is exactly what I read in the book. Also, Alicia says that she played every song on her album (Songs in a Minor) at Paisley Park (Prince's home and studio) including How Come You Don't Call Me.

[@josephclegg3562]

Prince should have made a cameo appearance.

[@Armanijesus]

to be honest I think Prince does it better. Maybe it's because I don't like the commercial up beat drum they've put on this version. Takes away the cool vibe of the original.

[@captainbryce1]

@@katherinenovillo7190 And even more info, Alicia Keys was not the first artist to cover this song. It was also covered by Stephanie Mills in 1983 (which was pretty amazing as well).

Alicia is just the classiest, sexiest female singer alive. She has carisma, style, panache, moxy and attitude. Without a doubt one of the greatest performers to in our midst. She brings a song home and makes you cry or stand up and shout.

[@ashay8833]

Alicia is the artist that connected old school and modern music for me personally when I was in my late teens and just couldn't find current music that would reflect what I had always loved. And so here she is singing Prince's song. Perfect. Her original music does that too. Just the right blend of now and then.She's so talented, beautiful and just naturally radiant,vibrant, cool..I could keep going on with adjectives, but you get it, right? i named my girl after her!:)Loooove Alicia❤❤❤

[@deborahharrison7348]

asha i don't like the way alicia did this less is more i love prince verison much better my opinion i know its late

[@wesmartin91]

Prince didn't "rock this so hard", he actually sang it quite softly in a piano driven, falsetto vocal. All three artists performed the song well and I enjoy all of them regularly. Prince gets most of the credit since it is HIS song first and foremost. Stephanie Mills simply has the best vocal ability of the 3 singers in question and that comes through in her version of this song. As good and original as Prince and Keys are, neither of them could possibly out-sing Stephanie Mills.
