That woman was way before her time! . Look at her striking THAT pose. As Prince said she was indeed "the finest woman in the world" | |

Thank you Laura. I knew about this blog. I've been following it for the last year. There are many more Vanity blogs like it. This one is really good though, it always has unseen pics. I wonder where she finds them! | |

Maybe people just send them to her. I would love it if someone would get in touch with Allen Beaulieu I am sure he must have unreleashed promo pics from the 80s. I would be great if the estate ever gets around to doing anything with the pre Purple Rain albums and much better than the mess of packaging that was done for PR. Allen has the rights to those photos.

And the fabulous Miss TLC (and huge Prince and Vanity fan) is posting about Vanity 6 today.....why??? because its the 35th Anivesary of the Vanity 6 album
Miss TLC @IAmMissTLC 15 hours ago 35 yrs ago 2day (8/11/82), Vanity 6's selftitled album was released. The Prince-produced debut was their 1st & only album. #Princerversaries
Miss TLC Retweeted Miss TLC Prince also kept his relationships private. But his bond with lead singer Vanity was real. Miss TLC @IAmMissTLC #PrinceAndVanity had an intense relationship & he continued 2 use her voice in his music 4 yrs.
Miss TLC @IAmMissTLC 15 hours ago Releasing the Vanity 6 album on 8/11/82 was only Prince's first move in a musical chess game where 1999 represented the eventual CHECKMATE. Miss TLC @IAmMissTLC 15 hours ago Once he had his sexy girl group established, and The Time was recognized as a funk force; Prince dropped 1999 & changed music forever. Miss TLC @IAmMissTLC 15 hours ago The 1999 "Triple Threat" Tour kicked off w all 3 acts in Nov 1982. Prince knew his team was THE force to be reckoned with. #Princerversaries Keep Calm & Listen To Prince | |

The Prince Podcast @PodcastJuice 13h13 hours ago S/O to Brenda, Susan & Denise for dropping 'Vanity 6' today back in 1982! #Prince We discussed this album & more @ http://podcastjuice.net/t...t-dynasty/ …
In 1982 Prince released 3 albums that would signal the start of his rise to super stardom, Vanity 6, The Time's What Time Is It, and the double album 1999. Discussion about Nasty Girl, 7779311 and 1999 heating up the charts, and a tour where the opening act was starting to upstage the headliner. Also we talk about our favorite non-Prince concert experiences, Prince coming to Arsenio Hall and Prince "sacking" his bass player. [Edited 8/11/17 23:20pm] Keep Calm & Listen To Prince | |

Prince Shows Off His Sense of Humor With Vanity 6’s ‘If a Girl Answers': 365 Prince Songs in a Year http://diffuser.fm/prince...mobile_top
To celebrate the incredibly prolific, influential and diverse body of work left behind by Prince, we will be exploring a different song of his each day for an entire year with the series 365 Prince Songs in a Year.
When Prince put together Vanity 6, he put a unique spin on the girl-group archetype as popularized by acts like the Supremes. Gathering members Denise (Vanity) Matthews, Brenda Bennett and Susan Moonsie, and writing and producing almost all of their debut album, his aim was for the ladies to project an independent, sardonic and bluntly sexual image, where most prior girl groups were demure, coy and often sang about heartbreak or longing. Released in late summer 1982, Vanity 6 was chock full of interesting tracks, with one of the more unique tunes being “If a Girl Answers (Don’t Hang Up).” It led off the album’s second side with a killer bassline, a very early foray into rapped, rather than sung, lyrics, and one of the first indications of Prince’s sense of humor. “If a Girl Answers”, co-written by Prince and Time bassist Terry Lewis, plays as a girlfight on wax. Vanity and Brenda, looking for a ride to a party, decide to call “Jimmy” (apparently a recent date/conquest of Vanity’s). When Vanity expresses reluctance to place the call in the event that another woman picks up, Brenda provides sage advice (and sets up the song title’s conceit) with, “If a girl answers, don’t hang up. Just talk about her!” Sure enough, the phone is answered by a woman. Upon the mutual realization that they’re both dating Jimmy, they trade verbal barbs. Brenda then jumps into the fray and defends Vanity by challenging the song’s antagonist to a fight and delivering withering insults like, “If I wasn’t a lady, I’d take my money and buy you a brand new face / Then I’d take my underwear and stick ’em in your mouth and you’d love it ‘cause you got no taste!” The song concludes with Jimmy being lambasted as a “jive talk man with no money” and the phone being hung up. “Jamie Starr,” the mysterious figure given production credit on Vanity 6’s project as well as the Time albums, was given credit for playing Jimmy’s girlfriend on “If a Girl Answers”, but, of course, those lines were delivered by Prince. Using a raspy, slightly higher-pitched speaking voice not dissimilar from Morris Day’s, Prince’s appearance on “If a Girl Answers” (in addition to the song itself) represented one of the first public appearances of Prince’s lighter side. While it can occasionally be hard to balance the idea of Prince cracking a song-length joke against the image of him as a super-serious musician, the man’s sense of humor was legendary. In an interview conducted shortly after Prince’s death, Revolution keyboardist Matt Fink proclaimed that Prince was “an extremely funny person,” while that sentiment was shared on social media as part of a tribute by Spike Lee. Of course, in the years following “If a Girl Hangs Up”, Prince’s comedic ability would be given the chance to shine in videos (“Kiss”, “Black Sweat”), on film (particularly “Under the Cherry Moon”) and on records commercially released (“Bob George,” in which the humor takes a dark turn) and unreleased (1983’s “Vibrator,” which found Prince re-using the Jamie Starr voice to play a store clerk who Vanity encounters when needing batteries for her “body massager.”) Vanity 6’s come-ons seemed to be delivered with a wink and a nudge, but “If a Girl Hangs Up” was definitive and early proof that Prince didn’t always take himself seriously. Denise Matthews died in February 2016, and Prince’s concert in Melbourne, Australia, that night was turned into a bit of tribute to her, saying that they “used to love each other deeply. She loved me for the artist I was, I loved her for the artist she was trying to be. She and I would fight. She was very headstrong ’cause she knew she was the finest woman in the world. She never missed an opportunity to tell you that.” In addition to playing “The Beautiful Ones,” which was partially inspired by their breakup, he also remembered one of their fights, during which he threatened to throw her into a pool. “You can’t throw me in the pool, you’re too little,” she said. So Prince had his bodyguard Chick do it. “I probably shouldn’t be telling this story,“ Prince concluded, “but she’d want us to celebrate her life and not mourn her.” [Edited 8/11/17 23:26pm] [Edited 8/11/17 23:29pm] [Edited 8/11/17 23:30pm] Keep Calm & Listen To Prince | |
