Suzanne Vega - Luka [View all]



Suzanne Vega releases “Luka” 39 years ago this weekend. She said she once received a fan letter about it:

“Dear Suzanne,

Luka is the most compelling piece of music I’ve heard in a long time. There are no words 2 tell U all the things I feel when I hear it.

I thank God 4 U,
Prince”

Yes, THAT Prince.
