Number 1 (copyrighted at ASCAP as Number One) is a song by performed by Robin Power in the Graffiti Bridge movie. The track was released as part of the film on the home video. No audio-only version of the track has been released. In 2008, Robin Power posted the unreleased video for the song (labeled as POWER IS #1) on one of her Youtube account. It is not known if it was officially sanctioned by Prince.
Basic tracking of the studio version of the track took place in late 1989 or early 1990 at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota. Robin Power recorded vocal overdubs on 9 July 1990 at Paisley Park Studios (while Prince was in Europe on the Nude Tour). The song’s drum track (of the movie version) was also used on Elephants & Flowers.
Number 1 was not included on any known configuration of the Graffiti Bridge album. It was planned for inclusion on a proposed album by Robin Power and a video was shot for this song (with a different backing music), but Prince soon lost interest and the album was never completed.
