Prince and Susannah

Is it true that Prince's first long term relationship was with Wendy's twin sister
Susannah Melvoin.
How serious was this relationship and how long weere they together.
Has Sussanah said anything about Prince since the end of that relationship.

They were pretty serious. I think there was some marriage talk? But I think it was ended when he let Wendy go, which ironically, some of their arguments stemmed from Wendy being so close to Susannah (If I Was Your Girlfriend) and everything.

Maybe we can go to the movies and cry together

condition of the heart

I imagine there are also a few bootlegs from the dreamworks album that were scrapped after they parted ways... but i'm not familiar with much bootleg.

also, there was a pparently a song called 'wally' that was about the breakup that was destroyed as soon as it was finished (broke my heart reading that)

She certainly inspired some of his most heartfelt song writing. Adore, Forever In My Life....

Wendy: Yes. With very good cause. I probably shouldn't say who but this one person... (claps) hallelujah!
Lisa: Shall we give him a hint who?
Wendy: No. They'll have to guess
Interviewer: Er...we wouldn't be talking about Prince here would we?

Maybe it's just because she's more traditionally feminine...?

Thanks for the replies and cool pics I didnt know a lot of this stuff.
Do we know any definitive dates from when they started dating to when they broke up.
Somehow I get the feeling she was his soulmate maybe thats been played down but I think sometimes when people have soulmate but it doesnt go right for any circumstances or peoples decisions etc then as time goes on people perhaps play down how special it was so they dont have to deal with it.

BTW do we know what people the song Reflection was written about, besides from the mention of Prince's mother.

LoL

I love you go waaay around "Wendy looks like a butch lesbian, even at age 18".

But it's true. Wendy was always more of a tomboy, Susahhah was more frilly, cutesy dresses, long hair, apply make up.
