He then layered other instruments over all four tracks. The song was initially recorded with [[Prince]] and [[Wendy Melvoin]] both singing lead and [[Lisa Coleman]] doing a harmony background vocal. That version was placed on an early configuration of [[Album: Parade|Parade]] (before it even had that title), compiled on 1 May 1985. The song was sent to [[Clare Fischer]] in mid-late 1985 for his input. [[Clare Fischer|Fischer]] did two different orchestral arrangements; one with full orchestration, and after a later request of [[Prince]], one with only 'flute family' orchestration, much like the finally released version. These versions had [[Prince]]'s lead vocal mixed in loudest, mostly obscuring [[Wendy Melvoin|Wendy's]] vocals. Before release [[Prince]] then omitted his own voice, so that [[Wendy Melvoin|Wendy]] was now singing the lead. [[Clare Fischer]]'s full orchestration arrangement remains unreleased although [[Prince]] did use some of it as incidental music in [[Film: Under The Cherry Moon|Under The Cherry Moon]]. |
