Female Trouble is the fifth solo album by singer Nona Hendryx (formerly part of pop/soul group LaBelle, along with Patti LaBelle), and was released on 17 April 1987. The album contained Baby Go-Go, written by Prince (under the name Joey Coco). Sessions and compiling Baby Go-Go was re-recorded for the album and contains no musical input by Prince. Mavis Staples and George Clinton sing backing vocals on the song. They would later work directly with Prince when he signed them on Paisley Park Records. The album also features contributions from Jellybean Johnson, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis. Peter Gabriel and Bernie Worrell also worked on Female Trouble, marking their first (and only for Peter Gabriel) appearance on a Prince-related release, albeit not on a Prince-related track.
