Its a shame and a disrespect to the band that their music is never packaged without the emphasis being placed on Prince. I love Prince and he was awesome in this band, but it was a real band and the other members deserve so much more credit
At this time Prince was a prodigy at 15/16 yrs old. His cousin introduced him to her husband, Pepe Willie, my uncle. Pepe had this song and had Prince play guitar on it. Prince later covered this song n called it ( Do yourself a Favor) as did Jessie Johnson on his debut album. This is the original version. My fav! I remember going to the Studio with Pepe and watched him Mix this tune!!! I was a tiny kid. I loved all of those moments! Prince is a SUPERSTAR. If this version was ever going to be heard you gotta plant his name. Shouts to my Aunts Kristie and Marcy on backgrounds vocals!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS TUNE!!!!!
this is the funkiest version..yes prince is playin on this,but later circa 82-83 prince did a version that was bootleged. then jesse johnson did a version on shockadelica...there is now a compilation with a smoother version with piano on the new purple snow compilation on numero group label. this song is hot!
Andre Cymone on that bass line is smooth, I like the bass line on Jesse Johnson version also, Prince is longer ad shows of where th Morris day character came from, a refection of prince.. all 3 version are sharp.. and smooth Prince version is more of the New Wave Flavor.
Pepe Willies sensuous phrasing the chicken strut scratch guitar Funk of Prince and that Groove that hi hat Groove I can't decide if I like this version or princes version LOL
Hello, Coatesvillian! Thank you so much for sharing this early diamond. I greatly appreciate it. The lead singer here sounds like Pepe Willie to me. Forgive me if I am incorrect about Pepe, I am simply going by the sound of his voice to me. I like this a lot! Thank you!!! Date: March 30, 2017
A beautiful human being, Now in jehovahs memory to be resurrected soon, prince jehovah loved you, every hair on that beautiful head, i love you my brother, RIP ☂️❤️🙏 xxx
We now know that prince's version of this song is what Jesse Johnson was covering. Prince said it perfectly. Jesse did a cover of Prince's version of this song. LOL.
Auntie I know he's vegetarians he doesn't eat red meat and he I think she's turning me I have is when you have artichoke I think he hot artichoke so he ordered a sweetheart artichoke cuz he doesn't mess with
Dude on drums is seriously working that kit out!!!
Who’s on the drum? I thought Prince laid the track for this.
@@justinjacob7580 Dale Alexander is playing drums. He was in the Madhouse live band a few years later. Prince is playing guitar.
@@gavinsmith2835 Thanks for that. That dude was on a whole level above his peers that day.
I want to step inside of this groove and live there forever ❤
Amen!
@@glamslamr Just discovered this song in the past month. Cannot stop listening to it. 1975. Great lyrics, hooks, OMG.
@@michellethomas8496 the funk is so thick on this one, right????!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜
@@michellethomas8496 for sure!!!!!
This could have been a radio hit.
young Prince playing guitar like Al McKay (Earth, Wind & Fire) on this joint...son had the glow from day one...
RJNumber45 P was EW&F fan also & good ear on pointing that out, he is rocking that McKay groove !!!

i agree. it's really not all about that bloke.

I love this it's so raw, fun and uncut
I dig this. A lot.
this version is better than the all Prince version! Prince played the background on this version!
Ernest Carter i have to politely disagree with you but this version is beautiful
What’s the Prince version ?
This version is nothing compared to prince’s
@@safwanfallatah8611 Prince remade this and he renamed it do yourself a favour..
I absolutely agree!..Prince background vocals 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Andre Cymone on that bass line is smooth, I like the bass line on Jesse Johnson version also, Prince is longer ad shows of where th Morris day character came from, a refection of prince.. all 3 version are sharp.. and smooth Prince version is more of the New Wave Flavor.
Andre Cymone was not involved in this recording in any way.
Hard to find!!!! Thank you.
Can't believe it's been an entire week on a Prince-less earth.
5 years now! 😥
The BEST version. I love what Jesse did with it.
So your sure it's Jessie Johnson singing? It's been a mystery to me forever
@@roberthayes2593 Its prince on guitar.
It Pepe On the mic
I'm sorry but i love the vibe on this version the best out of all of em
This is really good music, considering it was recorded in 1977. COOL!!!
1975
Wallace4461 “considering”??? The 70’s was FILLED with great music.
Alot lf stuff recorded in the 70s sounds great.... 70s always had good quality sound
@@SPAZZOID100 the 70s was the greatest decade for music ever period.!
Prince is lookin' deep into your beautiful or wretched soul on this cover pic.
Que grande es Prince!
Cool smooth with the beat
RIP Prince.
He made it, and what a nice voice! He'll live on ^_^
MrMrManMan not him singing.
Sounds like Pepe Willie singing.
I can recognize the sound of his guitar. Don't forget The voice and the bassline
prince 💜💜
insanely awesome
RIH YOU WERE THE GREATEST
Just found this gem on vinyl, so stoked!
R.I.P PRINCE
Pepe Willies sensuous phrasing the chicken strut scratch guitar Funk of Prince and that Groove that hi hat Groove I can't decide if I like this version or princes version LOL
Rest In Love Beautiful One...................
This is just another piece to his master piece puzzle.
RIP PRINCE
The Prince version is great, much catchier, but I like this - reminds me of Roy Ayers
Yes it does.
Roy Ayers? I. agree
tell pepe Willie that. about roy
andre cymone on bass
No that’s Wendell Kirk on Bass
Astonishing.
sound good 94 EAST FEATURING PRINCE THE EARLY YEARS

I recommend listening "94 East" album 10:15 & FORTUNE TELLER
remix with Prince on guitar.
very best !!!

Top 100 slept on of all time

Pepe Willie on lead vocals
Colonel Abrams on vocals. He was a great singer. He’s up there with Prince now
Great musician
CHE is on the thimbnail! This is awesome
It’s Prince, and one of my favorite photos of him.
super duper
sheesh
Ohhhh Do yourself a favor! I love the version that Prince sings XD I'm a Bachelor now! Morris Day voicee
prince plays guitar in this song?
kai san yes
17 year old prince played guitar on all the 94 east songs
I think is definitely prince's style i can recognize everywhere
2nd That !!!
peace
Love this song! Is this Pepe singing?
Quisiera oír o ver un vídeo de Princes,When doves cry, por favor, no existe ningún otro
Do yourself a favor don't say nothing to me words to live by
Letra da música por favor.
First heard this song on Shockadelica by Jesse Johnson... and then heard a bootleg of Prince doing it too.
Where i can find lyrics of this magic song?
Oki
Nice!! What year was this recorded???
this must be the og of it. ?
This is a transformation from the purple album
This is better than almost anything Prince did before Dirty Mind...
haha, funny
No qualms in saying it... his first two albums are a little overrated by some. I did say "almost" too...
And this joint right here is a breezy, funky pleasure.
A beautiful human being, Now in jehovahs memory to be resurrected soon, prince jehovah loved you, every hair on that beautiful head, i love you my brother, RIP ☂️❤️🙏 xxx
Jesse Johnson did this song, dont know the album.
Abraham Jackson Shockadelica is the album
We now know that prince's version of this song is what Jesse Johnson was covering. Prince said it perfectly. Jesse did a cover of Prince's version of this song. LOL.
Shockadelica JJ's album
Lyrics please
Jesse Johnson - Do Yourself A Favor?
the lead singer sounds like the lead singer of Big Head Todd and the Monsters.
I know it isn't, but similar to me.
Jesse Johnson did a remake of this song with a different name, " Do yourself a favor".
which was a remake of Prince's version of this song. its on youtube.
I like this version way better than Prince's and Jesse Johnson's. It's the instrumentation.
is that prince on drums, guitar, keyboard, and bass
No Dale Alexander on Drums Pierre Lewis on keys Wendell Kirk on Bass and Prince on Guitar
QUE BANDA _SONARON DE PELICULA_ EXCELENTE🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼
do you mean prince bro
who's singing?
Great tune but Prince's version is phenomenal.
But? !? Who sings? ??
Susi Rimessi pepe willie
I like Prince version better.
Who the hell is Price?
Auntie I know he's vegetarians he doesn't eat red meat and he I think she's turning me I have is when you have artichoke I think he hot artichoke so he ordered a sweetheart artichoke cuz he doesn't mess with
if u see me with my girl get off
NO!!!
I'm reading the comments you guys do know prince didnt do this song it was Jesse Johnson
Prince did a version but didn't release it. It only got released recently on the 1999 album deluxe remaster.
lol..dont say shit!!
This version is too up tempo! I prefer Jesse Johnson's slower version.
