"Kiss" Question--HELP!

Hi Orgers!

I need some information and I hope that you can help me!

--When did the "Kiss" Single get released?

--When did the "Kiss" video premiere?

Thank you!
I love a Man who:
Wears More Make Up Than Me.
Wears Four Inch Stilleto Boots.
Changes His Name To An Unpronouncable Symbol.
Who Changes His Name Back From An Unpronouncable Symbol.
Oh And Most Importantly, Who Is Sexy Little Drop Of Butterscotch

Kiss was recorded April 28, 1985 in Studio CD at Sunset Sound.

Kiss was released February 5, 1986.

It was certified gold May 5, 1986.

Not sure about the video date.

According to discogs.com it's 1986. I've got the 12", but don't feel like searching for it. I'm pretty sure that the website is correct.

I have to assume that the video came out at the same time.


What I always wondered was... he was still calling the group "Prince & The Revolution" But why did they make such an effort to not show any of them except for Wendy in the video.

I remember reading the liner notes of the Parade album and noticing that the background vocals were done by Mazarati. Boy, did those guys kind of come and do. Is it me, or do most of his "protoge" artist not have any staying power.

I would think the video came out a couple weeks after. I remember it the last half of my senior year in 1986.

I think you're correct. I remember that the song had been on radio for a few weeks before the video premiered.
