As a bonus, here is Mavis performing the funky "Jaguar" off of her fantastic Paisley Park album entitled, "Time Waits for No One" on Late Night with David Letterman:

Make it so, Number One...

Tevin yes, I had inven included it on the discog long ago because I assum Prince arranged the per4mance. As for Mavis I guess it was her own band at the time.

Check out this interview with Mavis Staples on VHI Music Talks which aired in 1993.

She speaks about Prince and her second Paisley Park album.

It also includes the music video "The Voice".

Here it is:
