Prince : For You (1978)

[SHOOTER]

Prince's debut album was released on April 7, 1978. The lead single, Soft and Wet, peaked at #12 on the Hot Soul Singles chart. Very much a debut album but an early indicator of Prince's adept musicality since he's the sole musician credited. It also contains two of my favorite Prince songs (In Love and Crazy You).

Prince: all vocals, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, Orr bass, bass synth, singing bass, fuzz bass, Fender Rhodes electric piano, acoustic piano, Minimoog, Polymoog, ARP String Ensemble, ARP Pro Soloist, Oberheim 4-voice, clavinet, drums, syndrums, water drums, slapsticks, bongos, congas, finger cymbals, wind chimes, orchestral bells, wood blocks, brush trap, tree bell, hand claps, finger snaps







Any fans of this album?

Love all of the above but "I'm Yours" is probably my favorite song from the album.

There are a handful of tracks I really like, but he went on to put out far better work. Still impressive he wrote, produced, and played all the instruments on this at his age then.
