About the track :
Prince recorded a studio version of his cover of the track "Sweet Thing" (by Rufus featuring Chaka Khan, originally released in 1975), as a home recording, in early-to-mid 1976 (within months of the song's initial release), at the Russell Ave, Anderson house, Minneapolis, Minnesota (during the same set of sessions as "Don't You Wanna Ride?", "Hey Lover", "I Spend My Time Loving You", nine untitled instrumentals, "Leaving For New York", "Nightingale" and "Rock me, Lover).
The home recording of the song remains unreleased but Prince has performed the song live many times, including on some TV broadcasts (Beautiful Strange, The Art Of Musicology...)
