- Wouldn’t You Love To Love Me? is the second track on Taja Sevelle’s first album Taja Sevelle, and, in early 1988, the song was released as the album’s second single.
It was written and produced by Prince (with production credited to the album’s main producer, Chico Bennett), with uncredited saxophone by Eric Leeds.
While specific recording dates are not known, the track was initially recorded in 1976 as a home recording on a basic cassette recorder (during the same set of recordings as For You, Nightingale, I Spend My Time Loving You, Rock Me, Lover and Don’t You Wanna Ride?), featuring some lyrics that were changed or removed for later recordings.
The track was then re-recorded possibly in 1977 at the Loring Park Rehearsal Room in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This version features a drum machine that Prince used in Neurotic Lover’s Bedroom, also recorded there.
In the summer of 1978 Prince did another take of it in his France Avenue Home Studio in Edina, Minnesota for a short-lived project with her (renamed Suzie Stone for the occasion). This was a simple 4-track recording with Sue Ann Carwell on vocals, André Cymone on bass and Prince on drums and acoustic guitar.
It was re-recorded again in June 1981 at Hollywood Sound Recorders in Los Angeles, California, which is the version that ended up on as the fourteenth track on the posthumous album Originals in 2019. Presumably another version was started from scratch on 1 April 1982 at Sunset Sound in Hollywood, California.
This version was worked on further in 1986 (either at Sunset Sound or at Prince’s Galpin Blvd Home Studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota), and was submitted to Michael Jackson for use on his album Bad (producer Quincy Jones had called Prince to ask him to duet on the song Bad, and when Prince declined, he submitted this song instead). It is unlikely Michael Jackson recorded a version of the song, however.
Prince then submitted the song to Taja Sevelle, who simply replaced Prince’s own vocals, and the track was edited slightly for its release.
Remixes for the single release took place in late 1987 at a variety of studios.

He would have been 66 this year. Can you imagine?
Loved it. Prince’s existence on this earth is greatly missed. This month has been 8 years since his passing and it’s still a hard pill to swallow. Miss you Prince. 💜
He would have been 66 this year. Can you imagine?

Oh wow! I love this!💜💕
Thank U 💜
Thank you for the detailed provenance information. It provides insight into Princes productivity. It was a good call by Prince to send Q a very MJ ready track if he had chosen to record it.
Oh yeah!🎉
Sunset Sound is making my whole day!!!! 💜💜 Prince 4Ever!!!
I love both versions of this song
It has a lot of sly stone in this
Prince had so many alternate versions of his songs. The G.O.A.T. ~ Genius Of All Time 🕊 🎶 🎸 🎤 radio 🎶 🕊
Always fun to be the first thumbs up!
Wow Thanks 💜💜💜
Very catchy!
Thank you all❤
mannn, jus pull em all out....realtalk bruh!!
This era was magic 🍺🍺
This version sounds like a one which were recorded with " Neurotic Lover’s Bedroom" at the Loring Park Rehearsal Room back in 1977, if the PrinceVault's description is accurate. Then why it is presented from Sunset Sound Recorders, very strange.
So much Prince material has been pushed out lately, I’m not surprised if he becomes artist of the year
LOVE and Appreciate this so much!!! Thank you!!! Cream of the crop stuff!!! 💜💟
Love, love, love this! 💜💜💜
🌟🌟🌟💜😎
👍
👊🏿💯🔥🤎
Thanks but allowed by The Estate ?
🤔
I'm sure it's cleared..
I think they're a lil smarter than that..
May b this will wake the Estate up from their slumber..
Is this not the already released version from the “Originals”
Album
I cannot imagine MJ singing this...Maybe prince sent it as a dare. It sounds way too much like Prince for MJ to even consider using it as much as Prince wouldn't have been right for a bad duet. Thank you for this version y'all!
it was written a little too high for MJ to sing, listening to it now you can hear. Michael hasn't sung that his since his child years.
@@niqulusviii987 exactly what I thought too. I think it was a dare by prince just for the heck of it. Prince singing bad? HELL NO!
Could totally hear this on Off the Wall (and it's old enough it could have been on that album).
Dude had such a deep understanding of arrangements he could always put in an advanced series of chord changes for a b section or bridge when he wanted. I remember being that young and obsessed with making music but never could do it very well. I would've immediately signed a guy that gave me a demo like this though if I had a record company. This guy's a genius. Or WAS, anyway. Sure wish he had reverted back to this approach instead of the stuff he recorded for Musicology. Rubbish.
You will never be a musician if you think Musicology was rubbish.
