P looked happy as hell in those pictures with Jackie. Looks like he's talking s%#t at the photographers too.

There is a thread here 'why was Prince so happy in 1986'

I think this is a part of it. Even though he was still trying to control things, I think he was a lot more 'carefree' you see a lot of pictures of him smiling in 1985/86

the one picture we have of him & Susannah out in public he is grinning widely too

I mean, it's no surprise he was so happy back then. He was enjoying all of the spoils of his newfound success, on top of the world having whatever he wanted, and he was at his creative peak with his work. I'm really grateful that he didn't let his success get in the way of his work ethic. A lot of people would've just coasted at that point.

someone should make a timeline/graph with all the women who have been talking about
dating prince, with corresponding dates and overlaps lol

some portions would have 4 overlaps or something falloff

well, you know, at least the man lived his life to the fullest and had a lot of fun cool

Makes me wonder if he ever regretted doing this to women, dating, sleeping with AND juggling multiple girls..all the while telling each one that they were special..they were the ONLY one they were the most beautiful girl in the world...hmmm wonder if he regreetted it later in life, not having a special someone, especially in the end?

.

Could any of them really think they were the special one? I don't think i would brag or tell people that Prince loved, dated or even proposed to me..people would just laugh and be like yeah ok, you and 200 others lol

.

If he wasn't such a SUPREME MUSICIAN...AND A TRUE GENIUS i don't know if he could have gotten away with it.

Prince was supposedly "engaged" to Susannah Melvoin,but I honestly don't think he was serious about settling down with any woman back then biggrin He was just playing with their emotions,like a typical player would,lol

Prince was definetly all of that from the time he could put it into action.

That interview of him saying that Andre's mom used to come downstairs sometime and they all didn't have on many clothes, and that he could have girls home during high school

Possessed: the Rise & Fall of Prince

Chapter 1 HOME

p 10-11

Prince's friend and surrogate brother, Andre Anderson, was also musically inclined, and the 2 began to jam together regularly in his mother's basement.

Upstairs, Prince shared a bedroom with Anderson. Despite being good friends, they were poor roommates; Anderson's side of the room was cluttered and disorganized, while Prince's was as meticulously ordered as a Marine barrack. Although he no longer lived with his father, Nelson's disciplined approach to life remained a significant influence on Prince, who sought greater order and privacy by moving into the basement...

Downstairs, he had much easier access to his instruments; already, Prince had started blending the distinction between home and musical workplace. Moreover, the basement became something of a private universe - a small slice of the world where he was in total control. A dark space with little natural light, it was nonetheless where he felt most comfortable, and it provided a prototype for the cloistered recording studios where he would spend the majority of his waking hours over the next thirty-plus years.

...

The Anderson basement - Prince's bedroom and rehearsal space - also represented his first attempt to create an alternative community based around music and, perhaps, sex. Years later in interviews, Prince would recall it as a hedonistic wonderland where he and Anderson engaged in carnal acts with a variety of girlfriends.

...

"My impression is that there were a lot of girls in that basement," said Howard Bloom, Prince's press agent during the 1980s. "He had grown up in the 1960's and the message was make love, not war. In the basement, he was going for liberation and entitlement to any sort of sexuality, pleasure, and enjoyment."


Andre. I don't know what to say. innocent

Talk about freedom. lol

Genius is born, not made. Prince is a Genius. No question. RIP Legend.

Check out Carmen Electras Insta. Prince wrote to her and bascially said 'TMBGITW' was written for her. She posted his hand written note! He said the same thing to Mayte.

Not cool.

Had no idea Devin was one of his girls. Always thought she was incredible. Let me just say "Tambourine" is the song that would most aptly describe my memories of her lol

Oh come on...these women were savy and not victims. That's why they are milking the stories now that they can't be refuted. And people have all kinds of romantic relationships, who are we to judge?

Unless Prince told any of us exactly who each and every song was written for or about, we are not authorities to say that he specifically wrote certain things for certain people, or that he did not write something if someone claims he did. Some of us think we really knew the dude.


[Edited 6/4/16 18:07pm]




I can't exactly remember which songs that she mentioned, but they were ones that I'm pretty sure it is common knowledge that he wrote about Susannah.



I'm just saying that there is no reason to throw shade on the lady ( Devin DeVasquez ) being that our dearly departed was pretty shady in the woman department. He was a known womanizer and going out with several women while he had a steady girlfriend. Any song could be about any woman at any given time. The Most Beautiful Girl in the World is a perfect example. Very romantic to think it was for Mayte, but it might have been an older song written for Carmen Electra, like he insinuated to her, or Susannah Melvoin, Sheila E, Anna Fantastic, Ingrid Chavez, the girl from the club, the waitress at his favorite restaurant, or even the girl in high school that never gave him the time of day. There is a woman that has a letter from Prince when he was just starting out which sounds like a player playing. A pretty face and a banging body is enough to inspire a song and Susannah was one of many. Might have been a main squeeze at some point, but by no means an exception.



Bighead, I understand just what you're saying. Everyone wants to say that Prince wrote a song for a certain woman and none of us know this for sure. It's obvious my Prince was juggling a lot of women during the 80s. I think everyone has their favorite (mines being Sheila E) but we shouldn't put down the other women because we don't like them. Those songs could have been about a certain woman or they could have just been songs he wrote. He was good because they apparently didn't know about each other. Either way, I don't care. I just love Prince!!!

Devin was on Star Search as a spokesmodel, and Cat was also on Star Search as a dancer. Cat met Prince through her.

Interesting. Cat contributed a lot to Prince's Sign of the Times movie. She really brought the energy!

Yes she did! Highly entertaining! I loved them dancing together. SOTT and Lovesexy are two of my favorite eras. The SOTT movie was amazing!

I can't post links right now, but there was a great Cat interview posted here some time ago in Assoc. Artists. It was one of the Dyes interviews. Cat talks about those times.

He's in the Big White Mansion. RIP Prince

booty call and that is all. BTW, she is now married to Ronn Moss who used to play "Ridge" on Bold and the Beautiful and he's I guess now touring in his old 1970s band Player responsible for the song "Baby Come Back"

Wow. I did not know "Ridge" was in that band, and behind that song. lol

He's in the Big White Mansion. RIP Prince

I loved that era too! So fun! The SOTT concert film was probably the best I have ever seen. I loved how he told a story through music/dance. I am going to miss Prince's magical world...

Of course not! He would have gotten his ass kicked like poor Lionel Ritchie did when he got caught with his pants down (literally) with his mistress. Oooh I remember that scandal like yesterday lol Actually just reminded me of him talking about grits n' gravy in "Breakfast Can Wait'. Every time I hear that line, I chuckle to myself and I'm like you know damn well you don't know nothin' about no grits n'gravy, Prince. lol

OMG!!! Prince was scandalous (no pun intended). How can you take your side piece to your other side piece's birthday party? lol What gets me is that Devin obviously still don't know that she was played and tossed to the side in a short 6 months.

i recall that jill described the situation in the early 80's as such:

it was like he had us all on a wheel and then he would just spin it. everybody knew he was with everyone else but he liked that kind of thing.

in the 'let's go crazy book', jill says that going into the filming of PR, P was dating, in various degrees of closeness, jill,susan and then susannah right after the benefit concert(wendy's 1st show).Sheila said they didn't start fucking until the PR tour. By then,Susan M was no longer messing with P. Jill had slowed down,too. That's when SM became #1, Sheila #2 and then this Devin chick for a minute. that's just what people have admitted to, imagine all the shit we don't know. eek

I swear when "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" came out I remember seeing and Inside Edition episode (or one of those like shows) saying that Prince had seen Vanessa Marcil on General Hospital and been smitten and wrote the song about her. She is in the video and (back then) she said the same thing. I haven't heard her say it now-- probably because she realizes everyone else is saying it's about them.

Nah, The Most Beautiful Girl in the World is about all of us girls. smile lol

actually Prince writes a lot of songs about the women breaking up with him

Susan Moonsie ended it 1981/82

Vanity ended it 1983

Susannah Melvoin ended it 1986/87

Sheila E ended it 1989

Devin Davasquez ended it
