Empty Room?

I hear a lot about the song "Empty Room" and apparently Prince is playing it at some aftershows these days.

What is the history behind this song? I see on www.dtt-lyrics.com that there are two versions. What version is P doing at the aftershows? And what album is this on?

I've heard he wrote it after a big fight (one of about a gazillion, apparently lol ) with Susannah Melvoin.

The only "legal" recording I'm aware of is on C-note.
We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.
