Blood Is Thicker Than Time is the third track on Mavis Staples’ second Paisley Park Records album The Voice (included as the first track on the 1995 reissue), and, in 1995, Blood Is Thicker Than Time was released as a single, released in Europe only, to promote the NPG Records reissue of The Voice. The song was written by Prince and produced by Ricky Peterson.
While specific recording dates are not known, basic tracking took place in Summer 1992 at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota.
Prince’s version (guide vocal) of Blood Is Thicker Than Time was one of the Vault tracks recorded between 1990 and 1992 slated to appear on the planned Diamonds & Love expected to be released by The Prince Estate in the summer of 2022. That project, which consisted of material spanning both the Diamonds And Pearls and  eras, was reduced to the Diamonds And Pearls era, excluding songs recorded after October 1991 (and this track as a result).
