“Holly Rock” was the fifth single taken from the motion picture soundtrack “Krush Groove” by American singer, drummer, and percussionist Sheilas E., who also performs the song in the film. Written and produced by Prince (credited to Sheila E.), “Holly Rock” failed to chart.

Prince also uses the term “Holly Rock” in Dream Factory, which was recorded later in 1985. Hollyrock is the name used for Hollywood in the TV cartoon series The Flintstones, which may have inspired the track.

Serious question here: if the credits are all for Sheila E, how is it then discovered that it was actually the tiny purple one that really did it?

Really enjoying your tribute to Prince, with the various Artists that he produced.
Are you going to post any Wendy and Lisa 12″s, they were fantastic in the revolution and created some fantastic tracks, they also compose the music for the American Sci-Fi television drama series Heroes.

Oh how the fruits of your labor sprout up!! I can’t thank you enough for these Sheila E. twelves Paul!! I think it’s so great that you’re a big fan. I just read her tribute of Prince in the new Rolling Stone magazine and was quite moved. I can’t wait to download this and to really appreciate all that you’ve done. Have a fantastic day Paul!!!
