Truly uplifting to know there are capybaras in a little hot spring in Japan listening to Patsy Cline.

On this day in music history: April 5, 1986 - “Kiss” by Prince And The Revolution hits #1 on the Billboard R&B singles chart for 4 weeks, topping the Hot 100 for 2 weeks on April 19, 1986, and also topping the Club Play chart for 2 weeks on April 12, 1986. Written and produced by Prince, it is the fourth R&B and third pop chart topper for the Minneapolis, MN born singer and musician. The song is initially written for the band Mazarati in the Spring of 1985 when they ask him for material for their first album. Prince quickly writes the song on an acoustic guitar, and recording a demo in equally fast time. Working with producer David Z., they shape the skeletal demo into a fully formed track. Prince likes what they’ve done so much, that he sheepishly takes the track back, adding his lead vocals and guitar to it, but keeping Mazarati’s background vocals on the finished record. Added to the album “Parade” (the soundtrack for Prince’s second film “Under The Cherry Moon”), Warner Bros initially had doubts about the minimalist and unusually structured songs’ commercial potential. Their fears are unfounded when it is released as the albums first single (b/w the non LP B-side “<3 Or $”) on February 5, 1986, quickly becoming a smash. “Kiss” wins the Grammy Award for Best R&B Vocal Performance By A Duo Or Group in 1987, also being nominated for Best R&B Song. The song is also covered by UK pop band Age Of Chance later in 1986, and by The Art Of Noise w/ Tom Jones in 1988. “Kiss” is certified Gold in the US by the RIAA.
