A tape photographed in [[Prince]]’s vault at [[Paisley Park Studios]] lists it as [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/July 29|29 July 1987]] alluding the exact date for the recording at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota. [[Prince]] revised the song in late June 1988, at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (during the same set of sessions as recording [[Time Waits For No One]] and revising [[Come Home]] and [[Train]]). 

The song was then sent (along with [[Time Waits For No One]], [[Come Home]] and [[Train]]) to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mavis_Staples Mavis Staples] in Memphis, TN, USA, where she recorded lead vocal overdubs with producers [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Bell Al Bell], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homer_Banks Homer Banks] and Lester Snell at Ardent Studios.
