Overdubs, including background vocals, horns and a bed of looped audiences, presumed to be from the [[25 August 1986]] show at Le Zénith, Paris, France, where [[It’s Gonna Be A Beautiful Night]] was recorded, were added at a later session. |
Along with [[When The Dawn Of The Morning Comes]] and [[Crucial]], the song was written specifically for the planned musical [[Musical: The Dawn|The Dawn]]. Other songs recorded earlier ([[Heaven]], [[God Is Everywhere]], [[Others Here With Us]] and [[All My Dreams]]) were also considered for the film, but the project was ultimately abandoned, and the song was never intended for any of [[Prince]]’s many late-1986 album projects. | Along with [[When The Dawn Of The Morning Comes]] and [[Crucial]], the song was written specifically for the planned musical [[Musical: The Dawn|The Dawn]].
