I Wanna Be Your Lover was written by Prince and released in 1979 on his second studio album, becoming his first major crossover hit. Built around a tight blend of funk, pop, and falsetto soul, the recording introduced many listeners to the musical world Prince would continue developing over the following decades. He performed nearly every instrument on the original recording himself. This performance is presented with voice and acoustic guitar.
