3003718, "For You" is 40
Posted by MME, Sat Apr-07-18 11:10 AM
What are your memories of this album?
The 100 on the FM dial on the radio in DC today is a classic rock station, but 40 years ago, it was called "OK100". That's where I heard "Soft and Wet" for the very first time in 1978. I was six years old. I remember thinking it was a girl singing lol. I also remember thinking it sounded like nothing else on the radio at the time. I wouldn't be able to hear the entire album for many years later, but I still remember that day I heard "soft and wet" for the first time.

to me it felt part MJ, Brothers Johnson, sylvers and some others, however soft and wet was played a whole lot and he had hood love.
a interesting thing is that this soul brother who owned a record store around the way back in 86 gave me a For You Book Cover for my Books when I was in School. the picture of him with the Afro and Black leather jacket. this was for a book cover.
i also knew a couple in Houston texas who ran a record store and they had all these Promo Pictures including a rare polaroid of Prince taken that they had.
his second album had more attention in the neighborhood.
back in the day folks might give it up to you for a hit song or two however you had to have something extra to generate a bit more.
my old radio stations back in the day though played his early stuff and it was like that throughout his 80's peak and prime.i got stories as well on other acts

I can't say I remember when i first heard "soft and wet" and it would be years later til i heard the whole album, but the thing i loved about hearing all the Prince singles back in the day was they sounded like nothing else on the radio.
