[[Prince]] appears on the track as a musician, having re-recorded most of the instruments and adding background vocals, after Jill wrote and did it in New York. It has long been thought that the song was written by [[Jill Jones]] and produced by [[David Z.]] and [[Jill Jones]]. But the credits at the ASCAP, which were seemingly changed after [[Prince]]’s passing, indicate that this song was composed by [[Jill Jones]] and [[Prince]], acknowledging he mostly re-did the music. The name of the song refers to a real location in New York ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleecker_Street Bleecker Street] in New York, NY) with an unintentional misspell. |
