− | |trivia = | + | |trivia = A drum sample used in this song is originally from ''You’ll Like It Too'' by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funkadelic Funkadelic] (from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connections_%26_Disconnections Connections & Disconnections], 1980). That sample also appears on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Harris_(musician) Simon Harris]’ compilation "Beats, Breaks & Scratches Volume 1" as ''Funky Roll'' (released in 1987). [[Prince]] likely took it from there as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Harris_(musician) Simon Harris]’ ''Beats, Breaks & Scratches'' compilations were heavily used by him and his associates in the early nineties on various songs and remixes. The same ''Funky Loop'' sample also appears on [[Colors]] and remixes of [[The Most Beautiful Girl In The World]]. |

Jam Of The Year is the first track on the first disc of Prince’s 19th album Emancipation, the third to be credited to . In 1997, a live version was included as the first track on NYC, a cassette single sold directly from the 1-800 New Funk phone service, which could be considered the third and final commercially-released single from the album.
Basic tracking dates are unknown, but it is likely that the track was recorded in late 1995 or early 1996 at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota (at the same time Rosie Gaines recorded her parts of tracks on the Chaos And Disorder album). Jam Of The Year was remixed in Summer 997 (perhaps for potential single release, although at this stage Prince had abandoned promotion for the album after EMI’s demise), and a clip was available on Love4OneAnother.com in the fall of 1997. This remix contained a rap by Doug E. Fresh, and the remix was later developed into the track Push It Up.
