'''Love’s Theme''' was recorded in late 1974 by [[Grand Central]], a band consisting of [[Prince]], [[André Cymone|André Anderson]], [[Charles Smith|Charles 'Chazz' Smith]], Linda Anderson and William Doughty, at [[Cookhouse Studios]], Minneapolis, Minnesota, with [[Pepé Willie]] overseeing. |
The band opted to cover the instrumental version so they didn’t have to argue who would sing it. The reel-to-reel recording-session 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]]. These four songs marks the first to be recorded by [[Prince]] in a studio. He would later return to the [[Cookhouse Studios]] to record songs for [[Pepé Willie]]’s [[94 East]] project the following year. | The band opted to cover the instrumental version so they didn’t have to argue who would sing it.
