Lyrics:
But all I wanna know is baby
If what we had was good...
I keep your picture beside my bed (mmm)
And I still remember everything you said (mmm)
I always thought our love was so right I guess I was wrong
Always thought you'd be by my side papa now you're gone
(And I'm not tryin' hear that sh*t)
What I wanna know baby
If what we had was good
How come you don't call me anymore
How many people know this song was written by Prince?
R.I.P. your Purple Majesty
+Legion Ivory I didnt know that
+Legion Ivory And "Manic Monday" as well as a host of others!
+semireckless Nothing Compares 2 U
I knew...still sad & in disbelief 😢😢
It is actually his song. He recorded it first. Alicia remade it
Prince doesn’t let anyone cover his songs.
He knows talent when he sees and he definitely saw it in Alicia.
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 #
Definitely a compliment to her from him!
Chaka Khan and Melle Mel "I Feel For You" is a Prince song and they took it to #1 in the 80s
She did it First without permission people
@@miszjackson7957 ain't that the truth
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 !!
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.
@@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.
Prince should have made a cameo appearance.
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.
@@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).
Anyone here in 2024❤❤❤
No
Was at the supermarket this morning and heard it even dancing to it while shopping even my 1 year old boy was moving to it 😂 I had to come around 😂🥳🥳🥳
Naw. We somewhere else
@@quest4redemption462 cool
Yes❤
She did an awesome job remaking Prince's song. Prince told Alicia himself that he loved her version!! #Facts 😏 #Prince ☝😇😇😇😇
this woman is just gorgeous. she has such raw beauty; she really knows how to accentuate it!! love her hairstyles and her eye shape
u0fo That's Real
Hell YEAH!! This girl is so DAMN FINE!! Man....
Since this was 3 years ago I'm here to deliver your 2020 SIMP
She is beautiful and talented. Àlicia keeps addiñg to her talent over the years.
@@pplatform4657no way to
Can't get over how beautiful she is...
liviusss me either
liviusss Fr lol
I cannot get over how beautiful *this song* is...
2024 who's here with me❤❤
That was one of the best rendition of any Prince song I have ever heard!!!!!!
Olando Terry dangelo rocked "she's always in my hair"....be careful..ya might break yo neck listening to it..ijs
This one and Nothing Compares 2 U Sinead O’Connor.
Nothing compares 2 O'Connor's Nothing Compares 2 U
@@yoan658 I respectfully disagree. Prince's version is the definitive one, followed by the one The Family released in 1985.
The key to Covering A Song is Experiencing or and Identifying with The Lyrics....Hit by a bus.Gotta come better than that Brother..check it out.Hey Licia.Its Me ya byo eJ The hardest thing I ever had to do was hold out to see if you'd call me first..I'm just Happy Ecstatic even that I'm actually speaking to You..I keep your picture besides my bed..You know which one and I know that's not hard for you to Believe..even when I'm with Your cousin.HELLO HELLO HELLO...EJ you're an Idiot.😎😁luv ya byo eJ
This girl is truuuuly talented.
Alicia IS A Female Version OF Prince & Stevie Wonder Period!🎶👸🏽👏🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽🤗💯💥🔥
I remember playing this song over and over again after a bad break up. Shoot I played the whole album.
The whole album was terrific and will be always,
Thanks to prince
Ela canta de mais
This album is one of her best ever
Annice tell me you doing 100 now.... x
miss her old material!
Wasnt even her material but ok
This wasn't her song. It was Prince who wrote and performed it first. This is a cover.
@@wendymouse3 IKR? People are so light headed smh
This album is a masterpiece
Alica go full mainstream now... Sad..
What's crazy is that I just came here to hear the note between 1:40 and 1:51. I swear that crescendo gives me life!!!! I seriously wish Alicia would go back to composing and singing this type of music! #simplysoul
Prince did this song first. ♡
+Ken Graham she still does she posted a video of herself composing and it gave me life
2:40 love this woman
Prince wrote this, but she rocks it!
Me too and 2:08
Love both the original and this version. R.I.P. Prince.
the genius mind of Prince
Facts
This video has surprisingly amazing quality for a 2002 video.
true...its too nice
+Munya Fashu-Kanu Actually I think as the years go by and people watch less music videos the record companies invest LESS in the production of the videos, so it's not surprising...
+Munya Fashu-Kanu just like watching bad boys 1 and 2
Why surprising? They made bad ass videos back then
Munya Fashu-Kanu you must be extremely young.
Alicia Keys looks amazing with braids.
yes, so true
Of course she looks amazing
That's her orginal look. I miss this look too.
mizzKarenbabii sure does 😁😁
She looks amazing in anything! 😊
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❤❤❤
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
One of the best debut albums I have ever had the pleasure of listening to over and over and over ... One of the most talented artists in my lifetime!
i cant believe Prince is gone.
+stl100391 Same!
Damm she fine.
Me neither.
Such innocent lyrics. So much better than words about sex, drugs, alcohol, etc.
ETCS THE WORST
Mike epps is a fooool 😂😂
This song is soooo magical.
She such a "girl next door".
I love it.
🖤
I really MISS the early 2000's R&B/Neo Soul era of music from 2005-present SUCKS!!!
2005 wasn't too bad (some jams, actually). the decline was VERY noticeable by '06 though!
htownhomie06 I would say mid-2005 then lol!
You guys noticed that too!
My daughter was born 2005 and I remember thinking in 2006, 'its so sad, she won't even hear good music unless I show her it.'
2005-2006 was still good tho
Pretty sure Emancipation of Mimi came out in 2005, Mariah is the Queen of 2005
Always loved Alicia Keys I love this album, I can play it all the way through without skipping a song.
Love Ailcia Keys to !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😀😀😇😇😆
the last part, when the drum set, sound and the drummer begin the beat... it really give me thrills until now.
RIP to that classic flip phone motorola
RIP Prince
I miss to have an old phone like that
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.
These songs got melody of hearts.
Nobody covered this song better than she did. But it's hard as hell to find the original!
always loved this song but, never knew Prince wrote it
Her voice gives me chills singing this song!
''And Im not trying hear that shit...''!!! This song is so personal to me and my experience with Papa!!
Thanks to prince for letting her remake this even tho prince one is way better 🤗
I keep your picture upside my bed (umm)
And I still remember everything you said (umm)
I always thought our love was so right
I guess I was wrong (oh)
Always thought you'll be by my side
Pappa, now you're gone
What I wanna know baby, if what we had was good
How come you don't call me, anymore
Still like a fire on a rainy night
I still like it better when you holding me tight
Everybody said, everybody said, that we should never part, no no
Telling me baby baby baby why
Why you wanna go and break my heart
All I wanna know is baby, if what we had was good
How come you don't call me anymore
Sometimes it feels like I'm gonna die
If you don't call me, pappa
Oh, you got to try
I'll get down on me knees hoping you please
Please (oh oh)
Won't you call me sometime, pappa
Why don't you call me
Why on earth can't you just pick up the phone
You know I don't like to be alone
How come you don't call me (why must you torture me)
How come you don't call me
How come you don't call me
The voice, the song, the video... 👏👏👏
This is Alicia keys at her best!
Agreed but her 2016 Era here is amazing also!!!
How lucky was we to live our generation. We were living in the golden years. It’s only when we look back we realise how good George was. He said gods greatest gift was music. RIP GEORGE
Timeless music
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.
Definitely a Prince song!!! 💜
Love, love, love Alicia Keys! She spans the generations like great performers such as Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, Sade,etc.
I could crank songs like "Call Me", You Don't Know NY Name", all day...... and I do. Amazing voice ans talent!
By the way, I am 67 years old. 🙂
RIP Prince..The Beautiful One
vocals on this. YES.
I had no idea that Prince wrote this. Definitely one of my fav A Keys songs. RIP Purple one.
There just isn't anyone compared to Alicia's voice .. I will grow old listening to her music
She is a very special artist!
Still classic 💯👣💅⚖️
Rock it Alicia! R.I.P. PRINCE REST IN EVERLASTING PEACE!!

Prince was such an amazing song writer. :'(
Long live the Purple One! #RIPPrince
Alicia is only one of a handfull of artists. Which Prince allowed to cover his music. Her live rendition of this is absolutely fantastic. Prince R.I P. ♨🎸♨

Myself to
One of my favorite female artists! Not only does she have a beautiful voice but she’s also a great piano player! Her music has helped me so much in music therapy...
Beautiful song by Prince & wonderful interpretation by Alicia. No wonder he liked her so much. She uses pauses to create drama, just like he did. He once said the spaces btw the notes were the good part.
Damn Rip Prince , You were Alicia's Inspiration .
Her voice is beautiful
Alicia keys is the definition of beautiful mixed girl 💯💯💯💯🤦🏾♀️💗💕😍
Sex give me know ride it eye am awake
Alicia Keys was a baddie back in the day. She was ahead of her time
As much as I love me some 'Prince' she stole my heart on this song.
Alicia Keys is such a natural beauty!
Adriana Ewa yes she is
Alicia, you sung this song so beautifully! So, glad that Prince wrote it! I love this song! 💞 🎶🎹🎶😘
PRINCE HAD HIS INFLUENCE ALL OVER THIS JAM!!
Happy early bday Queen Goddess ♒ Alicia Keys..Born 01/25/1981...HELL KITCHENS FINEST VOCALIST..,
Alicia Keys my fav singer
Her version of this song didn't get enough play on the radio, in my opinion. She freaking nailed it, I love this song so much♥. I love you, Alicia♥!!! Always singing to my heart♥.
I reckon Prince got blacklisted a bit towards the end of his life following the lawsuits
Some Folks Just Don't Care NOR DO They Ever Bothered Too Text OR See You Sorry But That's How Life BE!💯😭🙏🏽
This is one of my favorite songs from Alicia Keys.
The live part starting from 2:34 is jaw dropping. The drummer making a great fill at 3:13... Ugh... Give me some air, I can't breathe anymore! Love this version!
man, i went crazy at first listen to this version when it aired on MTV back then. And still could not comprehend how that simple fills add so much song's energy.
Beautiful, fine, and a genius.
While y'all have beyonce as the queen I got alicia Keys
I'm still calling , why did you get that restraining order ??
Lol
Harvey Mcknight 😂😂😂😂
Harvey Mcknight lol I'm dead😭😂😂
😳😳☠🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂 good one
This is a good song !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😊😊😊😇
Man, I gotta lol when I see all these comments like "it's Prince", "Prince's version is better" etc. Y'all don't get Prince, or the Purple Experience. It's Prince, AND it's Alicia Keys too. The Purple One has written almost as many songs for other people as he has for himself, created entire bands and their setlists... Then he shows up on stage and covers JB, Hendrix, hell last night he even played some Edgar Winter! So ease up, sit back and ENJOY this fantastic arrangement and vocal performance Alicia lays down. Enjoyment ain't a contest and there are no winners or losers, no better or best - just smiles, and the rest. :-)

Prince wrote this song for himself. He had no intention of someone using it.
Prince wrote music for a plethora of other artists under pseudonyms, amongst which:
Sheena Easton, Shiela E, The Time, Alicia Keys, Sinead O'Connor, Chaka Khan, Paula Abdul... and then some.
I hope they will honor him for it at his funeral.
Prince brought me here!
+SuaveLlaveBlog Me too man. Mostly faithful and solid cover. Could have done without the cheese drum machine though. Either no drums and just a piano or live drums would have improved it immensely.
My attitude to cover versions is that unless you're going to improve them or at the very least totally reinterpret them, then don't bother. This neither improves on nor reinvents the original.
the drum machine could have dont a better job if it was done on a gritty sp1200 though
Once upon a time, a Prince made a song for a Princess. Both legends remain!
😎👏🌹💘
Scarleg G agreed
He didn’t write this for her. She covered it herself. She didn’t ask before she released her album
Still crazy about this song.....her vocals daaaamn!
Prince did a wonderful job on this song, sung by the right artist Ms Alicia Keys. Hands down!!!
📈
Lyric c Prince sung it the best. Hands down. He was the one that wrote it.
PG13hockeyman Wow!!!! I didn’t know he wrote it.
Lyric c 🤦♂️
That Janis Joplin sound, made Clive hear ghost. Rest in paradise Prince! Alicia is dope. Can't believe that I can't think of the comedians name. Dang. How y'all doing?
I used to listen to this repeatedly. Never knew there was a video lol. She did an amazing job covering this.
Alicia keys is so beautiful and talented bring back this kind of R&B music 🎶
Lil Zae this isn’t her music
True talent....like yer man Prince. RIP. A true star. He will circle the universe. The music will never die. Stand Tall People of the World. Peace + Love. Jackie. London.....vibeing, Sunday morning.
Who wouldnt want to call this beautiful woman lol? like if u still listening in 2k19
We got Prince. We got the original.
I loved her during this era..god i used to have a hugeee crush on her and im straight
RIP Prince!
people don't know that he wrote this
That's right but I'd love to find Prince singing it !! so very sad, weeping
+MARY BETH Dais www.jukebo.com/prince/music-clip,how-come-u-dont-call-me-anymore,vrl05.html
+MARY BETH Dais it's his original song.. should be somewhere on the internet
+Michael B-R awesome!
Prince was a musical genius and the most beautiful Alicia Keys executes it amazingly
I wish she makes another album with music like this

I agree...I actually like her first 3 albums but then she took a break and changed.
If you want music like this, listen to the man that wrote and produced this song.
"I got hit by a bus today baby. A big bus."
Really?
wow her old material was so much better. so much livelier
To this day I love this version more as opposed to the studio version. She does incredible doing it live too. Forever a Alicia Keys fan for life ever since she dropped her first album which was a true foundation coming up during my junior year in high school. She nevers disappoints me at all because she's a strong woman, artist, actress etc. Once saw her live that forever changed my life .
I love Alicia keys 😍omg, rip Prince😢. but Mike Epps is too funny.😂
I randomly thought about this song and had to hear it lol
2019 anyone
This was my jam in high school!!!
Prince wrote a lot of stuff i never even realized. Stevie Nicks, Jim Jones, The Bangles, Sinead O'Connor, Madonna, Celine Dion, Chaka Khan, & a lot more i probably don't even know. Man was a genius and part of my soul died today. 😭
I sing this song like 24/7. Reminds me of a guy I like. He's such a tease.
touchnotthiscat 30’s aren’t old.
yikes girl. promise you those are never worth it
Alicia Keys has such an amazing voice. 🖤💎
I didn't know this song was by Prince.
As good as Alicia sings it, she still can’t touch Prince’s version. His version is just a piano and his incredible falsetto. ALWAYS been my favorite Prince song ❤
Remembering Prince 🙏🏽
I playback this song on a talentnight, wish you special and healthy 2022, greetings en God bless you. From the Netherlands Holland
