Morgan tried for 2 years to get permission thru Prince's attorneys to cover this song. She kept asking if Prince had heard her recording. She said she just felt like he would allow it if he heard it. Finally, L. A. Reed got ahold of him, he listened to it and didn't hesitate to say yes. Quite the remarkable man he was. soooo talented !

She has that vintage soul voice. Her voice is actually considered unique in this modern day of "music," but back then this is what talent sounded like.
I am so thrilled Prince finally gave Morgan permission to record this song. Beautifully done.

No. Prince is too low on the list. No one needs his permission.
Prince has almost never given the rights to cover any of his songs. You have to have the artistry and talent that even Prince would be amazed by. She's got it all and more, and therefore deserved the rights to make this jaw-dropping cover.

Not sure why that myth persists. Prince can’t stop anyone from covering his songs because of Compulsory License Laws. Prince himself lamented this fact in several interviews. He hated Tom Jones cover of Kiss & Sinead’s cover of Nothing Compares to You. He couldn’t stop them though.The most Prince could do was refuse to negotiate a lower royalty than the Statutory Rate.

No such thing as rights to cover a song. Once it’s out there anyone and his dog can cover it.
I'm a Prince afficionado. Just saw the video for this 5 minutes ago for the first time and I gotta say Ms. Morgan James did a fantastic cover of this.
Heard it 11 minutes past midnight, on Radio Montecarlo; a big open window facing a Tuscan's street slightly colored of yellow by street lights, you can feel the shape of the hills behind some buildings. Summer breeze is refreshing me while this song is broadcasted on the radio and I'm astonished

Truly one of the most beautiful and best voices alive!!!!!!! A voice like this is a gift from God, better yet and extension of him. Listening to this song makes me think of “the many voices of THE MOST HIGH” So much love and conviction in her gift. I wish you all success my sister!🥰😍😘

Keith Bell Sadly Keith, I'm not so sure that "the industry" would allow that to happen. I'm not saying they're holding her back, but they sure aren't promoting her. I realize the entire way we listen to and purchase music has changed from a decade or two ago. I guess partly because of that I'm as much of a listen to it on KZread kind of guy or a Pandora guy. But I still like to go out to the music store and buy an album on occasion and Morgan's is nowhere to be found. I'm guessing she's signed to smaller record label. Same thing with Elisabeth Withers. Elisabeth and Morgan are two of the finest singers on the planet, but good luck finding any of their music or albums, at least around here. A local r&b station would play some Elisabeth Withers, but I don't know if they've played Morgan's song at all. Thank God for the internet and Music Choice, which is I actually first came across Morgan. We want Morgan to blast off into the stratosphere, it's going to take a grass roots effort! :)

I heard her in concert a couple of months ago. She said it took her a couple of years to get approval from Prince to do this song and that when he heard it, he liked her cover very much.
I don't know why I expected this to be horrible. I guess because I'm in love with the original and that's what I was looking for when I searched on KZread. But I'm glad I clicked on this and gave it a chance because she can BLOW and I'm a new fan!
2:15 Sends chills over my body - Every Single Time!
Passion, pipes, soul, and a vivacious aura - Killer combo!!
Just unbelievable. I can listen to it thousand times and it's still sounds so miraculous. And the best part is, you sing the same live...
Wow she sound damn good. Thank you prince for opening the door for Morgan James cause she sound good doing his song. Somewhere prince is proud of her and she did it just right.

When a song is properly written as we know Prince is famous for doing a good singer can always take it and demonstrate the beauty of their voice.Morgan has definitely done that here.
What a beautiful voice. I love this version of Prince's "Call My Name" and it is a tough feat to redo a song and make it your own.
She makes me cry each time I listen to her. The talent in her is moving like the greats that have given us years of beautiful songs she is another that is added to this list. I do not know who is producing and promoting her but they are not doing a very good job, this woman should be on and in everything. Love you Morgan:-)

What an amazing cover; you know she's gotta have the pipes or Prince would never have permitted this. Her Broadway resume is also impressive. Check out her cover of Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" or the Jackson 5's "Where You Are". Goosebumps!
Wow! What a voice! I love her tone. She will be one to watch! Great remake, 'cause I didn't recognize that it was a Prince song.

Musicology...what a f#@n great album! Prince is smiling for sure. Echoes of Oletta Adams in her voice. Nice!
This is one of my many favourite all time Prince ballads. When I listened to this rendition it ran a shiver down my spine. That there is confirmation of its purity and how it touches your soul. No wonder Prince gave you the green light to release this :). Much love to you xxx
So E-Z to understand. ~ Picture this, if ya will... Prince in his studio, tape plugged in, Morgan's tender sound comes in gently, begging you to listen further. Prince's attention is caught... while this Lady moves 'His' song to a level that graces the original. He's caught up in her voice, singing more than a 'Cover' of his music. Instead, he hears the other half of a "Call My Name" duet, with him. ~ So E-Z to understand... now approval came.
DAMN, WHAT A VOICE! YES EVEN PRINCE CAN APPRECIATE THIS ONE!
I wish my fiend Ken Murray was around still to play guitar back for her. He wrote Sand Man and Postman with his friend. He played backup for Sammy Davis. Can you imagine her and Sammy Davis doing a show? Sensational
This is another level. Pff what a voice. 2.16 min blew me away and again at the end. What a talent. What a technique and control . From anorher planet. You also look good but that's extra.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. DAMN!!! I've loved your pipes since the first time I heard you sing, and that softer first verse was a really nice "surprise"...gave the song room to grow; SMART! Really great production on the song, too...arrangement, balance, everything about it is just ON!!!
That voice...smoldering and she's pretty. A new fan here
This song is embedded in my heart. It was our favorite Prince song, and we loved Ms. James's version so much that we played it constantly. But she's been gone now for far more than 3 hours. I guess we forgot what we had fought so long for...
Beautiful rendition, I love it when creators make things their own! Much Love and Many Blessings to Morgan James!!!
PMJ brought me here. Damn her voice is amazing.
Talented, pretty, beautiful, truly feel her lyrics, without any doubt the best video I have watched.Everything is perfect, makes my day. Keep up the awesome work.

And for you young folk who don't know what in the HELL I'm talking about "Goose Pumps!" Morgan you are a talent and that is A gift from GOD!

yas! classically trained singers making a name for themselves in the industry
I had the good fortune of going to her live concert. Her singing is phenomenal. Her person is beautiful. I felt extremely inspired afterwards.
I'm not sure but I think this is the best singer in the world right now. If not the very best, at the top, of the top three. That's just my opinion anyway. But I cannot believe her power. Holy cow. She's got to be in the Etta James range of power. Maybe more. This lady is incredible.
Awesome and stellar vocals, Morgan has fantastic range and so very clear
So amazing. Perfect song to wake up to. May be the best cover of this song I've ever heard. #morganjames #prince #callmyname
From Broadway to the airwaves! SANG Morgan James!!!
WoW ! This girl has some serious chops. I'm a big Prince fan and I'm glad he approved her to do his song. She really nailed it. I've never heard of Morgan James until just now. Love it.

I can so understand why Prince gave his stamp of approval on her version of his song, its very impressive. I first learned of Morgan James from Post Modern Jukebox & I'm so glad I did. She has an amazing and timeless voice & sound. I could listen to hear sing for days on end, no video needed you can feel the emotion in her voice.
Great song, great clip, great voice. Thanks Prince for letting her cover it.
Absolutely magic! Morgan at her finest!
Oh my. Call My Name. Priceless. Morgan - thanks for not only an incredible rendition, but the immense work of getting a crew together to make an artistic video to show it off.

Absolutely love Morgan James. Her soul is a lot older than her actual age and her voice is timeless. There's nothing she can't sing. I've been a huge fan from the first time I ever heard her sing years ago.
