Funk legend Maceo Parker has shared a version Prince’s “Other Side Of The Pillow.” Parker collaborated with Prince for many years after his work with James Brown, Parliament Funkadelic and George Clinton. “Other Side Of The Pillow” was originally recorded for Prince’s 1998 record The Truth.

Parker’s new take on the song is featured on Soul Food – Cooking With Maceo, his first record in eight years. The album is due out June 26.

“I am really pleased to be including a Prince song on this album,” Parker said via press release. “I recorded this song back in 2002 with Prince but we never got to finish it. We recorded it again freshly in New Orleans for the new album and it pays tribute to two geniuses, Prince and Ray Charles. Also two very important people to me. I hope you enjoy it.” 

“More than anything I miss Prince,” Parker continued. “He was a genius, so it was special to re-record a song he and I had once toyed with idea of releasing and give it that special New Orleans feel while also referencing the person I most admired growing up, the Genius Mr. Ray Charles.” 

According to a press release, “Soul Food – Cooking with Maceo blends raw, old school funk with the flavors of New Orleans, featuring collaborations with Ivan Neville, Nikki Glaspie, Tony Hall, and a host of local musicians. The funky flavor of the city weaves its way through the album, as Maceo and the band take on iconic songs from Mississippi masters like Dr. John (‘Right Place, Wrong Time’) The Meters (‘Just Kissed My Baby’) and Allen Toussaint (‘Yes, We Can Can’), as well as Aretha Franklin’s ‘Rock Steady’ and David ‘Fathead’ Newman’s ‘Hard Times.'”
