Singles released


The single released from this album didn’t contain a Prince contribution:
  • Take Me To Heaven
Azz Izz is the second and final album by soul singer Ren Woods (born Renee Woods) and was released on 19 March 1982.

The album contained I Don’t Wanna Stop, written by Prince. The song was re-recorded by Woods’ band, however, and the album contains no musical input by Prince, marking the first time he gave away a song without contributing to the released recording.

Later printings of the vinyl album removed the song at Prince’s request, although a reason has never been given. However a 2015 Japanese re-issue on cd included I Don’t Wanna Stop.


Promotion

The album produced one single (Take Me To Heaven) but did not enter the charts.
