It is not known if [[Prince]] recorded his own version, or if [[T.C. Ellis]]’ vocals are all that exist for this track. The album and single versions of [[Miss Thang]] are remixes made by Larry Robinson. A remix made by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junior_Vasquez Junior Vasquez] (''Vasquez Ice Mix'') was also included as the last track on the album. Several other mixes were also made by [[David Friedlander]] and [[Levi Seacer, Jr.]] for the [[Single: Miss Thang|single]] release). The original version (prior to the remixes) of the song remains unreleased. |
