− | + | Basic tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/September 4|4 September 1990]] at [[Warner Pioneer Studios]], Tokyo, Japan (on the same day as [[Strollin’]], [[5 Women]], [[Money Don’t Matter 2 Night]] and the instrumental [[Darkside]], that would evolve into [[Blood On The Sheets]]). The song evolved from a jam session, in which [[Michael B.]] began playing a drum pattern from an not well-known song by British band [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockpile Rockpile]. [[Levi Seacer, Jr.]] added a bass line, and [[Prince]] began to add guitar chords. Additional recording took place after the [[Nude Tour]] in September and later in December 1990 at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota. | |

+ | The song was included as the fifth track on a December 1990, configuration of [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]], and was included as the sixth track on a [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March 1|1 March 1991]], configuration of the album. The drum intro for the track was also used as the musical background for the track [[Joyful Sound]], and when that track was added to a Spring 1991 configuration of the album, the intro was removed from [[Willing And Able]], which was now included as the seventh track. The edited version was also included as the sixth track on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/May 8|8 May 1991]], configuration, where it remained for release. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The live in the studio take was re-recorded for the [[Video: Willing And Able|Willing And Able]] promo video, at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Mid January 1992. This version was included as the fourtenth track of ''Singles Mixes & Edits Remastered'', one of the discs included with the [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls SuperDeluxe| Diamonds And Pearls ''Deluxe'' and ''Super Deluxe'' Editions]] released in October 2023. | ||
