A version of the late Minneapolis musician’s song, which was originally released by Sheila E., is making a comeback with an animated video just unveiled on YouTube.

Prince’s YouTube channel has just uploaded the video for “Holly Rock.”

The clip’s caption notes that the song was recorded in Los Angeles on April 1985, the same week that Prince recorded iconic hit “Kiss,” adding that the song is also part of the soundtrack for the movie “Krush Groove,” as sung by Sheila E.

“Holly Rock” can be found on the album “Originals,” which was released in June of this year.

The 15-track compilation gathers demos of tracks that were written by Prince, but made famous by other artists, such as Sinéad O’Connor’s 1990 mega-hit “Nothing Compares 2 U.”

Prince passed away at the age of 57 on April 21, 2016, from an accidental overdose of the powerful opioid painkiller fentanyl.
