She had previously played with [[Levi Seacer, Jr.]] in the Curtis Ohlson Band, and he had brought her in to sing on the track '''I Want U''', which he was producing originally for The Pointer Sisters. | While specific recording dates are not known, basic tracking for the original version (known only as '''I Want U''') took place in mid-December 1989, at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota as [[Rosie Gaines]]' first recording with [[Prince]].
