By 1982 both a romantic and creative relationship had developed between the two artists, and Jill was logging countless hours alongside Prince at the historic Sunset Sound studio in Los Angeles. 🔸 In addition to singing background vocals on songs that Prince would release under his own name, Jill would also contribute to the tracks that Prince was creating for proteges like The Time, Apollonia 6, and Sheila E. 🔸 In an interview with the New York Times, Jill recalled always being prepared to record, whether it was the middle of the afternoon or 3:00 a.m. “Before cellphones, somehow he found us,” she said. “You’d go straight to the studio.” 🔸 Of all the artists that Prince would collaborate with during this prolific era of his career, Jill Jones’ presence was among the most consistent. Her voice can be heard on some of Prince’s biggest hits, including “1999,” and in the background of countless other songs, where she provided a backbone for the melody as a supporting vocalist. 🔸 It’s no wonder, then, that Jill Jones appears three times on the new Prince album Originals: in addition to singing the backing vocals on “Baby, You’re a Trip,” which would later appear on the 1987 solo album she made with Prince for his Paisley Park Records imprint, she can also be heard on Prince’s recordings of “Jungle Love” and “Manic Monday.” 🔸 “You didn’t really know Prince unless you had been in the studio with him,” Jill told the New York Times. "Those were the best years: living, breathing, eating music.”」6月22日 0時11分
