The Family
The Family was a pop group formed in 1985 by Prince featuring friends and collaborators, including lead vocalists Susannah Melvoin and St. Paul Peterson. The band released one album (largely composed and performed by Prince, despite the album crediting others) and is perhaps most famous for recording the first version of Prince’s iconic ballad “Nothing Compares 2 U.” The band reformed as fDeluxe in 2009.
