He then layered other instruments over all four tracks. [[Clare Fischer]] arranged and recorded orchestration for the song in June 1985 at [https://www.yellowpages.com/los-angeles-ca/mip/monterey-sound-studios-512137723 Monterey Sound Studios], Glendale, CA, but [[Prince]] preferred the track without orchestration, and chose to use the track without orchestration for the final release. [[Prince]]'s father, [[John L. Nelson]], receives co-writing credit, although his input is uncertain. |
