PrintableI absolutely LOVE what P. did with this song. But he need to quit TEASIN' and release the full version. "Release it, boy!" (Go on Stella--dance) . Had Taja's album since the '80s, just heard Jill's version for the first time a few months back, but never knew before today Mayte had a version of this track. I really like what Prince did musically to the end of Mayte's version. | |

It was on a compilation of unreleased songs my friend gave me. It's a female voice, it's 2 minutes 47 seconds and I think I can hear Prince doing background vocals. Anybody know who that one is? | |

I think that's the Jill Jones version - you can hear Prince quite clear on it | |

I think that's the Jill Jones version - you can hear Prince quite clear on it I didn't think it was Mayte. She only came on the scene in the 90's didn't she? The one I have sounds very 80's. I've never heard of Taja whatshername so I've no idea what she sounds like. If you say I have the Jill Jones one, then Jill Jones it is. Just renamed the 'artist' on my iTunes. I had it down as unknown. Thanks for your help. | |

Doesn't it sound similar to 'Free Urself' w.r.t. the sounds, instruments, etc? Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |

Exactly. 99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%. | |
