I'm going to need to hear it straight from Stevie to believe it.
I'm a HUGE Prince fan and own a book that exhaustively documents every recording session he made in the 1980s (citing the logs of his engineers with dates/times). And there is no mention of this session ever existing.
Not to mention the fact that the voices sound nothing like Stevie or Prince. You can listen to it again and ask yourself, "What era of Stevie's voice could that possibly be?" It's surely way too high for her 80s/90s voice, and way too flat/different than her 70s voice (when she hadn't even met Prince yet). The male voice definitely is not the Purple One. Sounds like a white dude.
Whoever recorded this half-baked "funk" would be lucky to gig at a Holiday Inn in Omaha. Very amateurish. My guess is that whoever it was decided they could finally get some attention if they mislabeled it online as Stevie & Prince. And if that's the case, boy, they've succeeded in fooling a lot of people.
Maybe it's the romantic notion that Stevie & Prince continued to collaborate that allows people's ears to be fooled by this. She said not long ago that he did offer her the opportunity to write lyrics to his "Purple Rain" demo, but she passed.
"All Over You" does succeed 0ne level: It makes me want to Stand the Hell Back.
