− | While specific recording details are not known, | + | While specific recording details are not known, basic tracking took place in the last week of December 1989, at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (during the same session as [[Live 4 Love]]). The track features [[Rosie Gaines]] (co-lead vocals) and [[Michael B.]] (drums), who had just joined [[Prince]]’s band rehearsing for the [[Nude Tour]], as well as [[Tommy Barbarella]] (keyboards) and [[Sonny T.]] (bass guitar), both of whom [[Prince]] had recruited to play for [[Flash]], a backing band for [[Margie Cox]]. The song is the earliest "[[Prince]]" studio recording to feature each of the four musicians, all of whom recorded with [[Prince]] for many years subsequently ([[Rosie Gaines]] had recorded vocals on the [[Prince]]-written track [[I Want U]] earlier in the month for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pointer_Sisters The Pointer Sisters], but this was produced by [[Levi Seacer, Jr.]]). [[Sheila E.]] also played on the song, adding synth drum fills. The track was included as the sixth track on the December 1990, configuration of [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]], but was moved to become the third track on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March_1|1 March 1991]] and [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/May 8|8 May 1991]] configurations, where it remained for release. |
