Suzanne Vega Reveals Congratulatory Letter from Prince About Her Song 'Luka'

Talk about “praise from Caesar.”

Suzanne Vega recently posted an unearthed letter she received from Prince on Facebook, and it’s a doozy.

“Dearest Suzanne,” the letter begins. “Luka is the most compelling piece of music I’ve heard in a long time. There are no words 2 tell you all the things I feel when I hear it. I thank God 4 u.”

Then there’s a small doodle of a flower, and of course the signature, “Prince,” sealed with a cross.

“Luka” was released in 1987 and reached number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. It remains her highest-charting song in the U.S. and earned nominations for record of the year, song of the year and best female pop vocal performance at the 1988 Grammy Awards.
