Voodoo Who (also sometimes listed as simply Voodoo) is an unreleased cover version of Villanova Junction by Jimi Hendrix. Prince’s version was recorded on 30 December 1985 in a ‘Jams’ session that also yielded U Gotta Shake Something, Most Strongest Whiskey and Love 2 U, at Sunset Sound in Hollywood, California. Prince adds some lyrics from Is It A Crime by Sade, written by Sade, Stuart Matthewman and Andrew Hale (included on her 1985 album Promise). It is unknown if this track was intended for The Flesh album or any other project. Recording Information Recording Sessions Date Studio Additional info 30 December 1985 Sunset Sound - Studio 3, Hollywood, CA, USA Tracking, sax overdubs, rough mix Recording Personnel Prince - guitar (& vocals) Sheila E. – drums (& vocals) Levi Seacer, Jr. - bass guitar (& vocals) Eric Leeds - saxophone (& vocals) Versions Unreleased Versions Title Version Additional Info Voodoo Who Studio

Additional Information See also Trivia Unreleased Songs The Sade album was released shortly before The Flesh sessions took place, but Is It A Crime was already played live by Sade during her Live Aid performance in July 1985. Eric Leeds named this song Voodoo Who (or Voodoo). It is not known if this is because he was confused with Jimi Hendrix' Voodoo Child (Slight Return) instead of Villanova Junction.
