2nd Draft
November 26, 1989

The Kid cues his keyboard player who has just sasmpled Morris'
voice. Over and over the voice says "Release It," just like
Morris. The Kid mockingly sings "Release It." Much to his
surprise, Jimmy Jam who is positioned right behind Morris,
samples the Kid's voice. When he presses down on a key the
Kid's voice comes out, only the voice is singing. Jimmy
plays a chord and a perfect 3 part harmony comes forth.
Morris grins as the Kid, a bit embarassed, heads for the
balcony. And Morris begins to "Read Him." He hurls insults
while the Time back him. They head to the stage. The crowd
begins a chant. Morris and the Time whip into "Release It."
The crowd loves it. They all stand. The Guardsman can hear
the music as far as the bridge. He grooves a little. The
sound of faint singing interrupts him. He turns to look
behind him. A woman walks from out of the light on the
bridge. She is beautiful. The Guardsman gasps. She comes
closer never making eye contact. Only focusing on the city
of Seven Corners.

Woman (very sweetly)
So, our friend changed his mind, eh?

The Guardsman can barely speak.

Guard
Uh, yes Ma'am, I mean yes sir, no, I mean uh yes!

Woman
Well I better go keep an eye on him.

She heads into the darkness of the city. The Guardsman
faints.

She is beautiful. I loved Graffiti Bridge.

How do you look back on your days with Prince?
Working with Prince was like being in a fairy tale. It happened so naturally. We were Artist and Muse. Our friendship and work together took us both to a creative spiritual place that two very beautiful records were born out of, Prince’s Lovesexy and my Paisley Park debut, May 19, 1992.

Great stuff. Didn't Ingrid do an interview in 'Interview Magazine' at about this time?

Wow, Thank you. Been looking for this for ages. It is a full interview?

i must be mistaken. was there a full page image of her in a blue top and black pants. must have another magazine around time of the film.

Ingrid was and still is a lovely, lovely soul.

Candle Dance is the third track on Ingrid Chavez's first album May 19 1992. It was written by Ingrid Chavez and Michael Koppelman and produced by Michael Koppelman, but Prince plays guitar and keyboard on the track (uncredited).

Although specific recording dates are unknown, Ingrid Chavez's vocal track was recorded with an improvised organ backing by Prince in mid-December 1987, at Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, MN, USA (shortly after cancelling the release of "The Black Album", during the same set of sessions as Heaven Must Be Near, Crystal City Cry, Wintersong, Whispering Dandelions, Slappy Dappy, Elephant Box, Touch Of Love, Blue Boy, Jadestone, Sad Puppet Dance, Standing In The Rain and Cross The Line). Michael Koppelman was asked by Prince to provide a new musical backing for the track in March 1991, at Larrabee Sound, Los Angeles, CA, USA, after he had been impressed by Koppelman's backing for Wintersong, recorded while Prince left the studio for a few hours. It is likely that Prince recorded his keyboard and guitar parts on the same day, although this is unconfirmed.

View from Graffiti Bridge

Bo Jackson may know baseball (and football and marketing), but Prince knows women. And he knows that a successful movie has to have at least one beautiful woman to keep things interesting.

"Grafitti Bridge" has three.

"I'm the girl,' " says Jill Jones, tugging at the sexy black minidress that proves "girl" might be a bit of an understatement.

"I'm Aura. She's sort of a spiritual being who has a mission," Ingrid Chavez says in a soft, out-of-body whisper.

"I'm still in costume," Robin Power says, glancing at the smoking jacket that serves as an abbreviated dress. "Sorry about that."

One after another, they tap, tap across the dazzling white tile floor for their interviews. Jones has known Prince for years, and she records for his Paisley Park record label. She plays the Kid's girlfriend, an ambitious singer named Jill. She wants to perform, but the Kid is not encouraging.

She has jet-black hair and deep green eyes. Eventually, the Kid comes around.

Ingrid Chavez met Prince when they locked eyes in a crowded Minneapolis club.

"We had an instant attraction, but it was not necessarily a physical one," she says, shifting uncomfortably against the slippery leather couch. "We feel we were brought together for a purpose, that this all happened for a reason."

In the movie, Chavez plays the Kid's spiritual guide. In real life, she writes poetry and takes care of her 5-year-old son. She is 25 and as delicate as a porcelain doll. Prince is producing her debut album.
