A Place In Heaven is an unreleased instrumental piece with the same title as a song recorded on 27 March, 1986, but has seemingly little to nothing to do with it other than it also being in a 3/4 time signature. It is unclear when Prince recorded the song, but it is likely to predate the song with lyrics bearing the same title, possibly hailing from 1983- '84. The almost 15 minute track has a meandering melody of mostly piano embellished with synthesizer and a simple drum track. and is reminiscent in sound with both Father's Song and God (Love Theme From Purple Rain) and was possibly intended as proposed music for Purple Rain
Prince surprisingly performed a 2 and a half minute rendition of it live at the first show of the Piano & A Microphone Tour in Melbourne Australia, seemingly in connection with the passing of Denise Matthews a.k.a. Vanity the day before.
