| − | + | The instrumental version was one of four songs recorded in 1974 by [[Prince]]’s first band [[Grand Central]] (with [[André Cymone|André Anderson]], Charles Smith, Linda Anderson and William Doughty), on reel-to-reel in a recording-session that was the result of winning a North Commons Park battle-of-the-band contest, where the prize was $75 and 8 hours recording time at the [[Cookhouse Studios]]. Other songs recorded in the session were [[Whenever]], [[You Remind Me Of Me]] and a cover of Carole King’s [[It’s Too Late]]. They opted to cover the instrumental so they didn’t have to argue who would sing it. | |
