"Kiss" was released on February 5, 1986, as the lead single from
Prince's eighth studio album, Parade (1986). The song started as a rough
acoustic demo, with a verse and chorus written by Prince. He gave his
demo to the funk band Mazarati. But in the end, Prince decided to finish
the song and added the signature guitar and falsetto vocal. The
distinctive "ah-wah-ah" backing vocals were taken from 60s icon Brenda
Lee. "Kiss" went to the number one position in the United States and
reached the Top 10 in United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, Australia, the
Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Ireland, and New Zealand. |
