The beloved track, released on Feb. 5, 1986, was the lead single of Prince and the Revolution's eighth studio album, Parade. Prince had originally written the track as an acoustic demo for funk group Mazarati, fronted by his former bassist, Brown Mark. However, Prince opted to take the song back, and it paid off as it soared straight to the top of the charts.
For the song, Prince famously stripped away the bass guitar and replaced it with gated acoustic guitar and a Linn drum machine that lends to its unique, rhythmic feel. According to reports, studio executives hated "Kiss" upon first listen, calling it unfinished due to the lack of bass and the minimalistic feel—but that hasn't stopped its unwavering popularity and accolades.
An unlikely pairing, the cover peaked at No. 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 and scored Jones a first-time MTV appearance. He recalled, "When they sent me the finished version I thought, 'If this isn't a hit, I'll bloody well pack it all in.' It was a busting hit."
