Mia Bocca marked the first single from Jill Jones’ self‑titled debut album, issued in the United States on April 6 1987. Written and largely performed by Prince, the release arrived six weeks ahead of the album and appeared in multiple US configurations, including commercial 7", commercial 12", and promo‑only editions. Mia Bocca introduced Jill Jones’ debut album with a distinctly Minneapolis Sound aesthetic shaped by Prince’s writing, instrumentation, and uncredited producti

A sharp, stylish debut that proves the Minneapolis Sound was never a one‑man universe — Jesse Johnson steps forward with authority.

Ren Woods’ Azz Izz (March 19, 1982) originally included “I Don’t Wanna Stop,” the first Prince‑written song released without any Prince performance or production involvement.

A striking hometown advertisement marking Prince’s evolution from local prodigy to national phenomenon, framed through a TV taping and a major arena homecoming.
