Little Red Corvette

Written by Prince, "Little Red Corvette" was released in 1983 as the second single from his 1999 album and became his first top 10 hit in the U.S., peaking at number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song combines a Linn LM-1 beat and slow synth buildup with a rock chorus, with backing vocals by Lisa Coleman and Dez Dickerson, who also performs a guitar solo. It has sold more than 900,000 copies in the United States.
