Stella And Charles is an unreleased track recorded in late May 1985 at Sunset Sound in Hollywood, California. It is unknown if this song was intended for any particular project.

Stella And Charles is an instrumental that didn’t make it to the lyric stage. According to Jill Jones, "Charles" likely refers to Prince’s cousin, Charles Smith, and "Stella" to Stella Kowalski, a character in A Streetcar Named Desire, which was, in its 1951 film adaptation, one of Prince’s favorite films.
