Maceo Parker Shares Prince Cover ‘Other Side Of The Pillow’

Maceo Parker shared a cover of Prince’s “Other Side Of The Pillow.” The track will land on the legendary saxophonist’s upcoming album, Soul Food - Cooking with Maceo.

The new LP — recorded at New Orleans’ House of 1000hz recording facility — is Parker’s first studio album in eight years. The record sees Maceo nodding to his fellow funk legends and frequent collaborators. Parker played with Prince for a decade following his groundbreaking work with James Brown, George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic. Maceo and Prince originally recorded “Other Side Of The Pillow” for Prince’s 21st album, The Truth, and the song is also a tribute to another legendary musician.

“I am really pleased to be including a Prince song on this album,” Parker said in a statement. “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.”
