Listening to this again and again lately. I think Jill Jones really pulled this off in a way that few would be able to. She kept the essence of a Prince song, but added new texture to it. It has grown more and more on me. Love it!
Her debut album, Jill Jones, from which this song is from is absolutely brillant start to finish! Clearly one of the best vocalists Prince ever worked with. It makes you wonder why Prince wasted time on someone like Carmen Electra (I'm genuinely sorry Carmen, but it just had to be said). I have been listening to her debut all this week and life has been just a little bit better because of it. Great music can do that. Jill Jones' music always does that!
Listen to Taja Sevelle. She covered Prince's "Wouldn't You Love To Love Me" and "If I Could Get Your Attention". She's amazing. She's from Minneapolis. Prince signed her to Paisley Park. Check her out. She's dope.
Jill is the only one out of all the Prince protegees with the strongest, most interesting voice. It's a real pity he didn't put her out "in the front" more. She was definitely not a "plane jane" and deserved to be up there right beside him. She sang in so many of his songs. Despite loving Prince so much, I still think Jill was really not treated fairly. Her voice, charisma and whole persona is amazing!
This song should've topped the charts. I really don't recall this album getting promoted. Such a shame. Granted 1987 was a talent fest, but this song was as good as any top 40.
Jill Jones is sooooo talented, people have no idea, She's a friend of mine. Her mom used to manage Tina Marie , who opened for prince when Prince started getting more and more famous, and jill sang back ground vocals for Tina, to make a long story short Jill met Prince thru her mom. Also Jill has a daughter Zuzu whos sings and writes songs, check her out on sound cloud sometime.
Thanks for the tip ! This is thee best protégé Prince ever had , her voice is too powerful to be teifled with . idk why she didn't blow up I listened to this every day . she's the only one imo that could pull off a Prince song and even surpass his vocal abilities
It's amazing how some artists create a sound signature that even years later you can instantly recognize it.I vaguely remembered this song from childhood and for some reason it just came on my mind.I just typed in "Baby your a trip"not even knowing for sure if that was title.I thought that was one of the main parts of the chorus and there it was.As a kid I didn't pay attention to style or the.sound the way you do when you listen to music as you get older so I was so amazed to hear the signature Prince sound in the song.
Jill suffered from the same thing most artist do that prince writes and produces, the songs are great. but the artist never comes across as being that which the songs convey. No one has. Except the Time. Their the only artist to have hits during, and after Prince. I purchased this album when it came out. It has quite a few jams, the whole album really.
I have never heard of this artist. I'm here cause I heard this was one of the song that will be on the new Prince album. I imagine her performance of this song is exactly how the Prince demo of this song is with no deviation
I've only read about Jill Jones, but never heard any of her music----she was just the girl that Morris Day kept shutting the door on in Purple Rain. Kind of like this song,though.
Now see here most don't know She=Jill Jones was a ghost writer on alot of Prince songs.No she wrote this entire song herself no Prince except his influences.
Alright...mike keep your composure try not to faint over her mesmerizingly poise I can't resist her aura and fineness Ooo Wee shit...I needed you back in those days steamy as Bridgette Nielsen ain't no letting up saying how much I love you everyday Violet Blue smooches!
She has a lot of passion and really puts a lot into this song. I do think either Prince should have kept it or she should have sung this when they first met.
There were ladies Prince worked with because they were talented, others because they were sexy and his type, and a few were both. Jill Jones was extremely talented and was obviously his type. If anyone can go back in time to only talk to Prince, encourage him to foster talent rather than push pretty girls who can’t sing.
This is definitely not a bad vocal performance. It was quite good and should not be discounted at all. That being said, after hearing the "Originals" album, He should have kept this one for himself.
She reminds me a little bit of Sheena Easton from a visual standpoint, and like Teena Marie vocally. I wonder if people in the industry held that against her because she didn't distinguish herself enough.

If you haven't heard Jill Jones' debut album you are depriving yourself of a great and perfect album. Love you Jill ❤️
Best talent to come Prince's way, Jill's vocals are astounding. Smart, sexy, sassy, talented, sweet and caring....what a woman.
By far, the best song included on the Originals. One of my absolute favorite Prince songs!
YES - - - Here in Germany this album is not yet available (today 06-06), but i can´t wait to hear Prince doing this one ...
@@henribaumgart9305 er kann nicht
She was gorgeous and underrated.
This song has some elements of “Another Lonely Christmas”.
Well spotted man, there is indeed something there that reminds me of that song.
Princes best backing vocal ever.

agreed, and it's impossible to find or stream

Absolutely!
I love this woman!
@@richardverdugo41 didn't she sing something like me myself and me or something like that?

Never got the fame she deserved and was one of my favorite albums and still have it
I still have this album also. So glad i transferred lp to cd
+Dee Dee can u get a CD of this album?
+christee chick I had the original lp and i transferred it to cd. So glad i did because i lost my lp in a move...sucks BUT I have my cd
Yes I too was able to snag a cd along the way but the EX stole my beloved collection. Bastard
very underated album. one of my favorites too...
This song should've topped the charts. I really don't recall this album getting promoted. Such a shame. Granted 1987 was a talent fest, but this song was as good as any top 40.
It should’ve been released around the Purple Rain era. It would’ve been a major hit.
Who got here through the Originals Prince cd release? I adore this song!
Me too. It's rare I'm blown away. But here I certainly am. Just fabulous
I do ah ah

Very interesting!! I have her album in my Prince collection. What is she up to these days? 😊
Steven Roach
Jills doing good, she got married a couple years ago and moved to the west coast, shes pretty active on facebook.

I'm friends with Jill on Facebook very down to earth woman
Teena Marie
Soo good-looking.
This song will always hold a special place in my heart,awesome memories.
Jill jones you never sound tired! 30 years later almost and its still HOT HOT HOT-love it when Prince lets better vocalists sing his amazing songs!
We need more from her
Love Jill Jones!!
UNSUNG! Prince knew "Real Talent" this chicken oozes it without effort!
Teena Marie mixed nicely with Prince.
Yes she does 🙂
Jill Jones was incredible. Still is xxx
Damn, how did I miss this back in the day. This cut was slamming.
Visually she almost looked like an 80's Carmen Electra, sounded great almost Teena Marie like....Jill Jones should have hit megastardom. Great tune.
Jill did backing vocals for Teena Marie songs.
@@DeepScreenAnalysis yup! I knew that, great vocals.
Back in 2019 to listen to this masterpiece!
Jill Jones on Italian public TV! I think it was 1987.
Wish i cld go back to that year i was only 10 then
Another one from the purple crew. JILL JONES SO HOT
This is fabulous and Jill can sing! I was happy to hear her version after hearing Prince's originals. Love the song, both versions.💜💜
Great track wonderfully sung. Bless you Jill.
given this song on a tape a many moons ago frm a ex girlfriend ,memories ,great song still love it ,and jil jones
My favorite off her album.
My favorite on that album imagine if Teena Marie shared vocals!
had she not traded her Marilyn hair in for Taylor Dayne's, she would have been enormous.
Pud Whacker i agree
Nice Jill! and look at her amazing legs!
4 co writes 3 jj originals and a price cover. brilliant cd.
Love Jill Jones ⭐⭐⭐ From Art by Gonzo 🙏❤️💜⚜️👑⭐⭐⭐
she is everything!!! Love me some Jill Jones!
Maaaaaannnnnn! Prince smoked this MF! His version is INSANE!
Right. Her version is good but Prince.
Prince... I'd follow you anywhere... cause it's all purple and 💜💜💜💜🌂☂️🌂☂️
This version is superb. And i adore prince.
Jill Jones is one of the best . I really appreciate this post but we need the others. But i thank you for this.
Thanks....I do feel really emotional about this whole issue......
Imagine if Teena Marie got hold of this back then 🔥🔥♓️
It's amazing how some artists create a sound signature that even years later you can instantly recognize it.I vaguely remembered this song from childhood and for some reason it just came on my mind.I just typed in "Baby your a trip"not even knowing for sure if that was title.I thought that was one of the main parts of the chorus and there it was.As a kid I didn't pay attention to style or the.sound the way you do when you listen to music as you get older so I was so amazed to hear the signature Prince sound in the song.
Great song.
I can go back in time and marry her....
love it!!
Jill Jones is so beautiful ...this song was written by Prince
Best song I love by her she looks just like her late sister Teena Marie
TM wasnt her sister. Jill's mom was Teena's manager n she lived with Jill's family for awhile..
I read they were cousins.
great great album
Jill suffered from the same thing most artist do that prince writes and produces, the songs are great. but the artist never comes across as being that which the songs convey. No one has. Except the Time. Their the only artist to have hits during, and after Prince. I purchased this album when it came out. It has quite a few jams, the whole album really.
U cant forget Shelia E either she had hits too
Prince should have helped her more... she missed her chance.
He helped her a lot - plus she said understood that he gave her the leg way up and it was for her to go get it. I love her honesty.
And who helped Prince? Only so many hours in a day he had to keep his own career hot
She used to sing back up for Tenna Marie
I have never heard of this artist. I'm here cause I heard this was one of the song that will be on the new Prince album. I imagine her performance of this song is exactly how the Prince demo of this song is with no deviation
V. Scott Watch the “1999” video. She’s the blonde girl next to Lisa Coleman
Oh cool!! Glad shes doing well! 👍
I wuv Jill Jones. Hope someday soon she will release another album.
I've only read about Jill Jones, but never heard any of her music----she was just the girl that Morris Day kept shutting the door on in Purple Rain. Kind of like this song,though.
Lovely
Best version ❣️
STILL LOVE MYSELF SOME JILL JONES - CLASSIC ALBUM !
Jill is still hot to this day 😍😍😍
Dope...
discovered jj thru CHIC , very talentuous girl
Love me some Jill Jones :)
prince didnt always record the best versions of his songs. she also recorded all day, all night with the revolution that was great.
BRAVO!!!
So glad she got this song. V6 could not pull it off.
sang it chile!
I still believe that Jill was singing this song 2 Prince..
She couldn't be singing this to Prince; he wrote the song. Then again, I suppose Prince probably wrote this to himself. THAT would be the ish.
Now see here most don't know She=Jill Jones was a ghost writer on alot of Prince songs.No she wrote this entire song herself no Prince except his influences.
@@athenousjohnson2511 thats not true
Good song.
This is great... I could not find this track anywhere!!! Thanks for the post!!!
there's a 3-cd bootleg out there called Dreams. might be floating around on some blogs
Alright...mike keep your composure try not to faint over her mesmerizingly poise I can't resist her aura and fineness Ooo Wee shit...I needed you back in those days steamy as Bridgette Nielsen ain't no letting up saying how much I love you everyday Violet Blue smooches!
She's got that Teena Marie Shiela E vibe going on
The album version was pulled from UA-cam after Prince originals was released. Her debut album was fantastic and this is my favorite cut.
She has a lot of passion and really puts a lot into this song. I do think either Prince should have kept it or she should have sung this when they first met.
great singing!! i didnt expect mia bocca at end!
Nah, the album leads with the same cappella from the end of Baby You’re a trip to then goes into Mia Bocca.
I’m here because of Prince’s Originals. I wanted to hear how each artist sounded on each record.
Album version no longer available on UA-cam for copyright reasons. This album is underrated. Every track is amazing but this song is my favorite
she followed pricnce's reference to a tea. great performance
rip Prince
There were ladies Prince worked with because they were talented, others because they were sexy and his type, and a few were both. Jill Jones was extremely talented and was obviously his type.
If anyone can go back in time to only talk to Prince, encourage him to foster talent rather than push pretty girls who can’t sing.
Amen Njin
C'mon motherfuckers lets get the views up and comment on this thing
This is definitely not a bad vocal performance. It was quite good and should not be discounted at all. That being said, after hearing the "Originals" album, He should have kept this one for himself.
Oh, this is what she's singing at the beginning of Mia Bocca!
🔥
this kicks fuckin ass
💜✌️💚🌹
She has more moxy than anything and there's nothing wrong with that.
SHE HAS A TINA MARIE FEEL TO HER..
She reminds me a little bit of Sheena Easton from a visual standpoint, and like Teena Marie vocally. I wonder if people in the industry held that against her because she didn't distinguish herself enough.
This is a good song! Wonder why she wasn't a
household name?
@buttascotchbro1 I think that's because Jill Jones is in fact Teena Marie's cousin.
Nice legggs
have you heard Prince's version ? a great track !
Even better...should've kept it for himself a b-side, during the purple rain era
She has more singing talent than Mariah Carey in my opinion. Too bad she never made it big.
too bad itunes doesn't have it
Prince write this
i heard prince version
She looks better with dark hair
