It became a hit single in 1984 for female R&B singer Chaka Khan, appearing on her album, which was also called I Feel for You. Prince won the Grammy Award for Best R&B Song in 1985 for writing the song.

The song also uses vocal samples from Wonders "Fingertips". The repetition of Khans name by rapper Melle Mel at the beginning of the song was originally a mistake made by producer Arif Mardin, who then decided to keep it. This version of the song became a million-selling smash in the U.S. and UK, and it helped to relaunch Khans career. Read full article at wikipedia.org
