|introduction = '''I Wonder U''' is the third track on [[Prince]]'s eighth album [[Album: Parade|Parade]], the third to be credited to [[Prince and the Revolution]]. The track also is also played in [[Prince]]'s second feature film, [[Film: Under The Cherry Moon|Under The Cherry Moon]]. Lead vocals are sung by [[Wendy Melvoin]], marking the first time lead vocals were not sung by [[Prince]] on a [[Prince]]/[[Prince and the Revolution]] album. | |introduction = '''I Wonder U''' is the third track on [[Prince]]'s eighth album [[Album: Parade|Parade]], the third to be credited to [[Prince and the Revolution]].

| − | Basic tracking of the track took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/April 17|17 April 1985]] at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California, with [[Prince]] recording the drum track in sequence of [[Christopher Tracy's Parade|Wendy's Parade]], [[New Position]], [[I Wonder U]] and [[Under The Cherry Moon]], all in one take. He then layered other instruments over all four tracks. The song was initially recorded with [[Prince]] and [[Wendy Melvoin]] both singing lead and [[Lisa Coleman]] doing a harmony background vocal. That version was placed on an early configuration of [[Album: Parade|Parade]] (before it even had that title), compiled on 1 May 1985. The song was sent to [[Clare Fischer]] in June 1985 for his input. [[Clare Fischer|Fischer]] did two different orchestral arrangements; one with full orchestration and, after a later request of [[Prince]], one with only 'flute family' orchestration, much like the finally released version. These versions had [[Prince]]'s lead vocal mixed in loudest, mostly obscuring [[Wendy Melvoin|Wendy's]] vocals. Before release [[Prince]] then omitted his own voice, so that [[Wendy Melvoin|Wendy]] was now singing the lead. [[Clare Fischer]]'s full orchestration arrangement remains unreleased although [[Prince]] did use some of it as incidental music in [[Film: Under The Cherry Moon|Under The Cherry Moon]]. | + | Basic tracking of the track took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/April 17|17 April 1985]] at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California, with [[Prince]] recording the drum track in sequence of [[Christopher Tracy's Parade|Wendy's Parade]], [[New Position]], [[I Wonder U]] and [[Under The Cherry Moon]], all in one take.
