Shake!
"Shake!" is a song by The Time, from Prince's 1990 Graffiti Bridge soundtrack. The song was originally recorded during sessions for The Time's Corporate World project from June–September, 1989. Prince played all instruments and provided backing vocals.  Morris Day performs the lead vocals and Jerome Benton adds some background voices. When Warner Bros. insisted that the original line-up of The Time be involved, Corporate World was reworked into Pandemonium with new material contributed by the band. Four of the tracks ended up being reworked with the band to varying degrees and ended up on Graffiti Bridge. "Shake!", written by Day and Prince was one of these tracks. Some additional background voices are by Jana Anderson.
