When working on this further, it is unclear if, but plausible that they used the basic tracks recorded at [[First Avenue]] on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June_7|7 June]], but ended up overdubbing almost every part. | ||
+ | [[Wendy Melvoin]] and [[Lisa Coleman]] worked on the track further for three days, from [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/September_27|27]]-[[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/September_29|29 September 1984]] at [[Sunset Sound]], Hollywood, CA, USA (during the same sessions where they recorded string overdubs for [[Pop Life]]). Sessions with horn players and strings were organized and both [[Lisa Coleman]] and [[Jill Jones]] added a lead vocal to the track, replacing [[Prince]]'s vocals. [[Prince]] was not present for these sessions. Part of the strings that were recorded were later re-used for the opening of [[The Ladder]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Our Destiny''' is not known to have been considered for inclusion on [[Prince]]'s next album, [[Album: Around The World In A Day|Around The World In A Day]], or any other project at the time. It is likely that it was planned for inclusion on the [[Prince and the Revolution]] album [[Album: Roadhouse Garden|Roadhouse Garden]] album worked on in 1998-9, but that album remained unreleased. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In 2017 the version with [[Lisa Coleman]]'s lead vocal was released on [[Album: Purple Rain Deluxe|Purple Rain ''Deluxe'']] combined with [[Roadhouse Garden]] as '''Our Destiny / [[Roadhouse Garden]]'''. Of note is that this is the earliest recorded track to feature [[Lisa Coleman]] on lead vocals. | ||
