The | + | The track was worked on further (or perhaps re-recorded) in late 1986 or early 1987, at [[Prince]]'s [[Galpin Blvd Home Studio]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota. [[Eric Leeds]] recorded saxophone overdubs on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/January_21|21 January 1987]] (the same day [[Madhouse]]'s first album [[Album: 8|8]] was released, four days before saxophone overdubs on [[There's Something I Like About Being Your Fool]]). New lead vocals were recorded by American blues singer-songwriter [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonnie_Raitt Bonnie Raitt] in April 1987, during a short-lived collaboration between the two artists. Although [[Prince]] offered four songs to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonnie_Raitt Bonnie Raitt] ([[I Need A Man]], [[Jealous Girl]], [[Promise To Be True]] and [[There's Something I Like About Being Your Fool]]), it is unclear whether this collaboration was intended to lead to an album or to a particular project. |
