Mazarati and producer David Z re-worked the song, giving it an irresistible funk groove. When he heard it, Prince was smart enough to take the song right back. He replaced their lead vocal, added the guitar break in the chorus and included it as a last-minute addition to his Parade album.\n--\nPrince won the 1986 Grammy Award for Best Rhythm & Blues Vocal Performance for this song.", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
