− | While specific recording dates are not known, | + | While specific recording dates are not known, basic tracking took place in August/September 1990 at [[Warner Pioneer Studio]], Tokyo, Japan, during the same sessions that produced [[Strollin']], [[Money Don't Matter 2 Night]], [[5 Women]] and [[Something Funky (This House Comes)]]. The song evolved from a jam session, in which [[Michael B.]] began playing a drum pattern from an unknown song by British band [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockpile Rockpile]. [[Levi Seacer, Jr.]] added a bass line, and [[Prince]] began to add guitar chords. Additional recording took place in December 1990 at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota. It was included as the fifth track on a December 1990, configuration of [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]], and was included as the sixth track on a [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March 1|1 March 1991]], configuration of the album. The drum intro for the track was also used as the musical background for the track [[Joyful Sound]], and when that track was added to a Spring 1991 configuration of the album, the intro was removed from [[Willing And Able]], which was included as the seventh track. The edited version was included as the sixth track on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/May 8|8 May 1991]], configuration, where it remained for release. The track was re-recorded for the [[Video: Willing And Able|Willing And Able]] promo video, most likely in early 1992 at [[Paisley Park Studios]]. |
