WITH U

I've held your hand so many times
And I still get the feeling
I felt the very first time

I've kissed your lips
And laid with you
And I've cherished every moment
We've spent in each other's arms

I guess my eyes
Can only see as far as you
Cause I only want to be with you

We've come so far
In so little time
Sometimes I wonder if this is meant to be

Cause sometimes
You are oh, so very kind
The nights you're not with me
I'm scared that you're gonna leave

I guess you say
That I'm just being a fool
Cause I only want to be with you


Hey, hey
I guess you say that
I'm, I'm just being a fool
Cause I only, only wanna be with you
With you

With You is the fifth track on Prince's second album Prince. In 1987, a re-recorded version (essentially a cover version, but mixed by Prince) was included as the fourth track on Jill Jones' first and only album Jill Jones.

An early version of the song was recorded on 17 February 1979 at Music Farm Studios in New York, during a day of sessions led by Pepé Willie intended for Tony Silvester, leader of the group The Main Ingredient to use as demos for Little Anthony and the Imperials, who he wanted to produce (the one-day session also produced One Man Jam, If You Feel Like Dancin', I Feel For You, Thrill You Or Kill You, and André Cymone's original version of Do Me, Baby), although With You was recorded with extra studio time and was not intended for use by Tony Silvester.

While specific recording dates for the album version are not known, the album sessions took place from late April to late May 1979 at Alpha Studios in Burbank, California. Overdubs and mixing took place at Hollywood Sound Recorders in Los Angeles, California.

In 1986, Jill Jones re-recorded the track for inclusion on her 1987 eponymous album Jill Jones. This is essentially a cover version of the track, without musical input by Prince, but Prince mixed the Jill Jones version further on 30 January 1986 at Sunset Sound in Hollywood, California (on the same day as mixing Mia Bocca, G-Spot and Baby, You're A Trip, and recording It's A Wonderful Day), leading to its inclusion here.

I would love to hear peoples opinions on this song.
It is very interesting, I think this is the first JJ song with an uptempo rock drive

she is doing some interesting vocals, but either the music isn't meshing with her or she isn't meshing with the music

Not her best, I don’t think. I love her album and I think she has a fantastic voice, but the three songs she leaked last year were very weak, and all three were seriously lacking vocally...

Jill Jones



Maybe Prince keeps finding new female protégées such as Vanity, Apollonia, Sheila E. and now Jones just to make sure there’s always someone to sing dirty to him. On All Day, All Night, Jones sings, “I watch as you make love to others/ Disgusting as it seems, it intoxicates me…/ My heartbeat accelerates and my mouth waters uncontrollably.” That lewd song is the weakest of three that Prince co-wrote and co-produced on Jones’s debut album. The others, Mia Bocca and For Love, have Prince’s banty rooster, rhythmic impetus. The man should bottle his remarkable ability to make all the instruments on a track sound percussive. David Z., who produced the rest of the album with Jones, gets a good horn sound but tends to overdo the strings. In a way Jones makes the same mistake with her voice, overindulging in pyrotechnics and histrionics. In a misguided effort to prove her versatility, she sings each song in a different character. There’s the herky-jerky Lydia Lunch delivery on Mia Bocca, the breathy Sheila E. soprano of G-Spot and the topper, a chiding Carmen Miranda-as-battle-ax tone for My Man. Jones may have talent, but it’s hard to find under her frantic ambition. (Paisley Park)








That's an interesting contemporary review alright, huh. This is my favourite ever Prince protégé album.



Mine too. It felt really grown up at the time. Violet blue is brilliant. Prince was brilliant at creating characters and stories durung thus era you reallt could "dig if you will a picture"

Yeah the story of Wednesday gave it some kind of grandness like hearing Power Fantastic for me.
But then when I heard the demo snippet with Prince, I kinda got it was meant to be a meloncholy quiet song. Then reading the PR script where it fit, I got it. So once I heard the song I was happy with it. And I sure do enjoy being able to fit it in it's place on my Purple Rain movie playlist.

I know JJ wanted to distance herself from being another 'Prince Girl' but I wish she was more connected to the Prince scene. Even the album cover creates that distance. There are some great photos from the 1986 period I would have used. And Prince wanted her to wear a heart bracelett but she wouldn't.

Oh, what a beautiful morning
Oh, what a beautiful ass
Darling, this is my final plea for love

Take me now or witness
The slow and horrible death of your white fox
My time is running out
I can wait no longer

I watch as you make love to others
Disgusting as it seems
It intoxicates me

You might say that I'm amused
To the point where my blood increases
My heartbeat accelerates
And my mouth waters uncontrollably
For I know that no woman
Will ever love you like your white fox

No woman will ever kiss you
In this lifetime or the next
The way you and I kiss tonight
Take me now as I am


For I am becoming confused
To what I stand for and desire
Tell me, darling

Who I am?
Who I am?
What I am?
What am I?
What am I?

Oh, are these my lips?
Or are they petals
From some crazy flower?
Oh, are these my hips?
If they are
Then they're some kind of powerful

[Chorus:]
All day, all night
You can be my baby
I'll make you feel alright

All day, all night
You can be my baby
I'll make you feel alright

[Verse 2:]
Oh, is this your mouth?
Am I swirling in some wet tornado?
Oh, You make me wanna shout
When I'm in your arms
I feel like Play-Doh

[Repeat Chorus:]

Wait a minute

Oh
Is this your house?
Am I in an ocean of desire?
Oh

You make me wanna shout
When I'm in your love
I feel on fire
(Ooh)

[Repeat Chorus:]

Shock-a-laka

[Repeat Chorus x4:]

Yeah, yeah, yeah

What I am
What am I
What am I
Who am I
Who, darling?
Me too
Desire for
And I want to be with you

Start, don't stop
Make love
Every night and all day
Becoming
Tonight I kiss
I love you

Whoa, darling
Night time
You kissed
I wanna know

[Repeat x3:]
Start
Don't stop
Make love
Every night and all day

Hey
What's happening, y'all?
This is a groove up in here

[Chorus:]
You can be my baby
Make you feel all right
All day
(All day)
All night
(All night)
You can be my baby
Make you feel all right

All day
(All day)
All night
(All night)

You can be my baby
Make you feel all right
What am I?
(All day)
What am I?
(All night)
You can be my baby
Make you feel all right

All Day, All Night is the fifth track on Jill Jones's first and only Paisley Park Records album Jill Jones. Although Jill Jones shared official writing credits, the song was written solely by Prince and is registered at the Library of Congress as having been written by Joey Coco.

Basic tracking for Prince's original version took place during Prince and the Revolution's concert on 7 June 1984 at First Avenue in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during the same show where the basic tracks for Our Destiny and Roadhouse Garden were also recorded (this is listed in the unreleased versions section as it was used as a basis for the released track). Prince added further instrumentation and Jill Jones added vocals at a later date (likely in July 1986, although this is unconfirmed).

For love
I have given you the very best, yeah
Any woman ever can

For love
I would follow you everywhere you go
My friends don't understand

[Pre-Chorus:]
I would tie you with a chain
If that would put you
In the frame of mind I think's so cool

I want you so badly
Don't you know
I'd gladly give my life for loving you?

[Chorus:]
For love
Do most anything
For love

Listen to me

[Verse 2:]
For love
I would suffer kisses from another
If that was what turned you on

For love
I have done less
And still felt the best
When I'm with you
Nothing is wrong

[Repeat Pre-Chorus:]

[Repeat Chorus:]

Do most anything
For love

Baby, come and take me
Any way you make me

For Love is the sixth track on Jill Jones's first and only Paisley Park Records album Jill Jones, and, roughly four months after the album's release, For Love was released as the album's third and final single. Although Jill Jones was credited as a co-writer, the song was written solely by Prince.

Basic tracking took place on 30 May 1985 at Sunset Sound in Hollywood, California (the day after Drawers (later released as Little Rock), Killin' At The Soda Shop, Married Man and Zebra With The Blonde Hair, three days before Living Doll).

A jam version of the song was also part of the "Everybody's Jam" played at Sunset Sound in Hollywood, California on 5 January 1986

Beautiful woman, but I just have never been able to enjoy her music (and I have given it many a try over the years).

I'm wondeirng, since she was on 1999, could she be considered part of The Revolution?

Well this album is technically the 1987 period. Since it dropped in the year of SOTT, I wish she was singing and/or opening with that band. I would take Jill Wally Cat on the side

(It was part of BFTP 5.0)

From Prince Vault

Boom, Boom (Can't U Feel The Beat Of My Heart) is an unreleased song recorded in Summer 1982 at Prince's Kiowa Trail Home Studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota (along with several other tracks that would re-appear over the next several years). somewhere in 1986 Prince revamped, recording Jill Jones vocals on it for possible use on the Jill Jones album. It was placed on a November '86 configuration of that album as fifth track following Rough and segueing into My Man, but (with Rough) was left off the final configuration. In the summer of 1989 the track was revamped completely with new instrumentation and Jill Jones re-cutting her vocals at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota, for possible use on the proposed second album by Jill Jones (along with My Baby Knows, from the same sessions, and Flesh And Blood and Am I Without U?). A video clip was produced for the song at this point, indicating that it may have been intended as the first single from the album, but the album was not completed, as Prince and Jill Jones disagreed on the direction of the album, with Jill Jones wanting to sing more mature songs than Prince was providing
