Initial tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/April 28|28 April, 1985]] at [[Sunset Sound]], Hollywood, CA, USA. The song was recorded initially by [[Prince]] as an acoustic blues-style demo for [[Mazarati]], who were working in the studio next to [[Prince]], with [[David Z.|David Z. Rivkin]] and [[Brown Mark]].

[[Prince]] returned the following morning, and heard the version that [[Mazarati]] had recorded, which had transformed the song into a funk number. [[Prince]] instantly reclaimed the song, and worked on it further - he omitted a bass guitar part and the guitar solo and added the signature lick. [[Sir Casey Terry]]'s vocals were also replaced with his own in a higher octave, but otherwise kept the original recording.

Prince 4ever |writer(s) = Prince (credited to Prince and the Revolution) |producer(s) = Prince and David Z. Rivkin (credited to Prince and the Revolution) |previous song = Killin' At The Soda Shop |next song = Kiss Me Quick |introduction = Kiss is the tenth track on Prince's eighth album Parade, the third to be credited to Prince and the Revolution, and, seven weeks before the album's release, Kiss was released as the album's first single worldwide. The single version contained a fade-out which was edited off the album version (to allow the song to segue directly into Anotherloverholenyohead). The song also featured in the movie Under The Cherry Moon.

In 1993, the single version was included as the eleventh track on The Hits 2 (also included as the second disc of The Hits / The B-Sides).

In 2001, the single version was included as the ninth track on The Very Best Of Prince.

In 2006, the extended version was included as the seventh track on the second disc of Ultimate.


Recording process

Initial tracking took place on 28 April 1985 at Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA. The song was recorded initially by Prince as an acoustic blues-style demo for Mazarati, who were working in the studio next to Prince, with David Z. Rivkin and Brown Mark.

Prince returned the following morning, and heard the version that Mazarati had recorded, which had transformed the song into a funk number. Prince instantly reclaimed the song, and worked on it further - he omitted a bass guitar part and the guitar solo and added the signature lick. Sir Casey Terry's vocals were also replaced with his own in a higher octave, but otherwise kept the original recording.

While David Z. Rivkin is credited with the track's arrangement, therefore, he is more accurately an uncredited producer on the track. The song did not appear on the first sequence of Parade, compiled on 1 May 1985, but was included on the final configuration.

Of note is that this track is the only track on Parade for which Clare Fischer was not asked to arrange orchestration. |recording info = |- align="left" |style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"|28 April 1985 |style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"|Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA |style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"|Demo |- align="left" |style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"|28 April 1985 |style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"|Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA |style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"|Mazarati recording (no Prince input) |- align="left" |style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"|29 April 1985 |style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"|Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA |style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"|Prince overdubs and additional work |- align="left" |style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"|Summer 1985 - early 1986 |style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"|Unknown studio |style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"|Additional work and recording creating extended version |- align="left" |style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"|2006 (assumed) |style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"|Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, MN, USA (assumed) |style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"|Initial tracking of 'Versace Experience' version |recording personnel =
