A 4-minute version of the original 1990 version (but updated to already name [[Tommy Barbarella]], but not yet [[Sonny T.]] and including [[Rosie Gaines]]’ vocals) was included as the eleventh track on a late December 1990, configuration of [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]], but was removed for later configurations, and remained unreleased at the time. However, the song was performed live at some shows in early 1991, including at the Rock in Rio II Festival on [[19_January_1991-am|19 January 1991 (a.m.)]] that performance was broadcast on radio and television. | A 4-minute version of the original 1990 version (but updated to already name [[Tommy Barbarella]], but not yet [[Sonny T.]] and including [[Rosie Gaines]]’ vocals) was included as the eleventh track on a late December 1990, configuration of [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]], but was removed for later configurations, and remained unreleased at the time.
