Everything about I Feel For You totally explained
"
I Feel for You" is a song from
Prince's
1979 self-titled album. The repetition of the name
Chaka Khan was originally a mistake made by producer
Arif Mardin, who then decided to keep it.

The song was re-recorded in
1984 by
Chaka Khan. Her version featured an all-star supporting cast, with rapping from
Melle Mel, keyboard and guitar by
The System, and
harmonica playing and sampled vocals by
Stevie Wonder. Also,
samples from Wonder's "
Fingertips Part 2" are used. This version of the song became a million-selling smash in the
U.S. and
UK (reaching #1 in the
UK Singles Chart) and relaunched Khan's career. She titled her 1984 album after the song. It reached #3 on the
Billboard Hot 100 and was #1 on the
Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart for three weeks, before being knocked off by New Edition's "Cool It Now". While touring with
Prince in
1998 in support of her collaborative album,
Come 2 My House, Khan performed "I Feel for You" as a duet with Prince.
There are several less well-known covers of the song. The
Pointer Sisters recorded the song in
1982, two years before Khan's version was a hit, on their album
So Excited!. Their version, however, wasn't a single.
Rebbie Jackson also covered the song on her 1984 album,
Centipede. On an episode of
The Mickey Mouse Club,
Justin Timberlake and
Britney Spears performed "I Feel for You". The song's chorus has appeared in popular culture, such as on the
Simpsons episode
Brake My Wife, Please, in which
Homer Simpson calls out "Save me Chaka Khan, Chaka Khan, Chaka Khan!!!" as his car starts to sink into the ocean.
