She’s Always In My Hair (New Mix) – Burning The Ground: DjPaulT's 80's and 90's Remixes

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985

“Raspberry Beret” is a song written by Prince and the lead single from Prince & The Revolution’s 1985 album Around the World in a Day.

The sound of the song expanded upon previous Prince arrangements, incorporating stringed instruments, Middle Eastern finger cymbals, and even a harmonica on the extended version. The song was also more in the pop vein than ever before, though the 12-inch single and video of the song feature a funky intro. Although the song was originally recorded on April 27, 1982, in Studio 2 at Sunset Sound, Prince drastically reworked it in September 1984 with The Revolution to give it more of an international sound. The string section comprised Novi Novog on violin, Suzie Katayama and David Coleman on cello.

While the song hit number 1 in Cash Box and reached number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. (behind “A View to a Kill” by Duran Duran), it only reached number 25 on the UK Singles Chart.
