Difference between revisions of "For Love"

• 29 May 1987 (a.m.): U4, Vienna, Austria (only known performance)

• This song has not been performed live regularly, although the late 2010-2011 arrangements of Cream as played on the Prince Live 2010 and Welcome 2 America Tours has an added guitar lead line very reminiscent of the For Love hook-line.

• 1987 (lyrics quoted in Housequake)

For Love is the sixth track on Jill Jones's first and only Paisley Park Records album Jill Jones, and, roughly four months after the album's release, For Love was released as the album's third and final single. Although Jill Jones was credited as a co-writer, the song was written solely by Prince.

Initial tracking took place on 30 May 1985 at Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA (the day after Drawers (later released as Little Rock), Killin' At The Soda Shop, Married Man and Zebra With The Blonde Hair, three days before Living Doll).

Around the time of the For Love single release, Prince and Jill Jones recorded what could be considered a companion track, 4 Lust, for her planned second album, but the album was never finished and the track remains unreleased.
