| |introduction = '''77 Bleeker St.''' was released as the b-side of [[Jill Jones]]'s single [[Single: Mia Bocca|Mia Bocca]], the first single from her first and only [[Paisley Park Records]] album [[Album: Jill Jones|Jill Jones]], released seven weeks prior to the album. [[Prince]] appears on the track as a musician, having re-recorded most of the instruments and adding background vocals, after Jill wrote and did it in New York. It has long been thought that the song was written by [[Jill Jones]] and produced by [[David Z.]] and [[Jill Jones]]. But the credits at the ASCAP, which were seemingly changed after [[Prince]]'s passing, indicate that this song was composed by [[Jill Jones]] and [[Prince]], acknowledging he mostly re-did the music. | | |introduction = '''77 Bleeker St.''' was released as the b-side of [[Jill Jones]]'s single [[Single: Mia Bocca|Mia Bocca]], the first single from her first and only [[Paisley Park Records]] album [[Album: Jill Jones|Jill Jones]], released seven weeks prior to the album.
