Don't understand the question.

Prince is singing it.
It's a studio recording.

Oh right. There must be more then 1 version!

The steeles recorded the same track and it was off the soundtrack to the film "blankman". The Steeles were a gospel group.

The version with Prince singing is unreleased, but out there in top-notch quality. I'm such a completeist, I bought that Blankman soundtrack. boxed
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

I don't know what the other version sounds like, but the Prince version sounds like it's official--doesn't have that low quality bootleg sound to it.
