Description

Handwritten note and award for the Graffiti Bridge hit single—"Round 'n' Round"

Two items: an ANS in pencil by Prince, signed "P," one page, 8.5 x 11, no date but circa 1989-1990, in full: "Therese: Please send 2 Tevin with a copy of lyrics taken from the 24-track, see track 16 - lead voice. Thanx, P. P.S. Mark Tape - Round 'n' Round - rough demo 4 Tevin"; and an official ‘R’ hologram-style RIAA gold record sales award presented "to Therese Stoulil to commemorate the sale of more than 500,000 copies of the Paisley Park Records 12″ Single 'Round and Round.'" The award is framed with its plate and disc to an overall size of 17 x 21, and retains its original backing with an affixed Fitzgerald Hartley Marketing label. In overall fine condition. From the collection of Prince's assistant Therese Stoulil and accompanied by a letter of provenance. 'Round And Round' was the second single to be released from Prince's twelfth album, Graffiti Bridge, and was credited to Tevin Campbell, who provided the lead vocals to Prince's backing track. The tune peaked at number twelve on the Billboard Hot 100. A fantastic pairing of items—a Prince autograph pertaining to the production of 'Round And Round,' and an award commemorating its success.
