The song, composed by [[André Cymone|André Anderson]], was initially put to reel-to-reel tape in late 1974 at the [[Cookhouse Studios]], Minneapolis, Minnesota with [[Pepé Willie]] overseeing. |

Other songs recorded in the session were [[Whenever]], [[It’s Too Late]] and Love Unlimited’s instrumental [[Love’s Theme]]. These four songs are the first to be recorded by [[Prince]] in a studio. He would later return to the [[Cookhouse Studios]] to record songs for [[Pepé Willie]]’s [[94 East]] project the following year. |

| + | [[Pepé Willie]] later discussed working with the group to improve their performance of the song. "The problem was that they weren’t singing together. So I made them put down their instruments and being that [[Prince]] was the most talented at that time as far as playing the guitar, I would have him play guitar chords and get... them all sing together. Because they would all be singing something different, like [[André Cymone|André]] would sing 'you remind me of me,' [[Morris Day|Morris]] would be going 'you remind me of she,' and William or Linda would be going 'you remind me of them.'" | ||

| + | It is not known if '''You Remind Me Of Me''' was later considered for inclusion on any project. Other sessions with [[Grand Central]] (now [[Grand Central|Grand Central Corporation]] with [[Morris Day]] on drums replacing [[Charles Smith|Charles 'Chazz' Smith]]) and [[André Cymone|André Anderson]] took place in early 1976 at [[ASI Studio]], Minneapolis, Minnesota. | ||
