*W magazine has gotten a bunch of celebrities to sing their favorite Prince songs in honor of what would’ve been the icon’s 58th birthday.
Nate Parker, Chiwetel Ejiofor Kit Harington, Ethan Hawke, Cindy Crawford, Chris Evans, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Rami Malek, Elle Fanning, Tye Sheridan, Melissa Benoist, and more take part in the video.
Ejiofor and Parker each choose “Diamonds and Pearls,” while “Game of Thrones” star Harington opts to do a reading of “Little Red Corvette.”
Also singing “Little Red Corvette” is Crawford, the inspiration behind Prince’s 1994 track “Cindy C.” from the “Black Album.” The supermodel shared the story of how the song came about.
“I was out at this club Nell’s, 14th Street New York, dancing with my friend and all of a sudden there was this littler person that came and started dancing with me,” she said. “And I was like ‘Oh, that’s Prince. So cool.’ And then cut to not-so-long afterwards, someone was like, ‘Did you know Prince wrote a song about you?’
The interviewer said the lyrics are pretty racy and Cindy replied: “Yes and now I know what was going through his mind when we were dancing.”
