Dionne - Dionne Farris

4 real? Love that 1

He was chasing glamorous emotional and adrenalin highs coupled with abandonment complex = nada

This is especially why he needed his kids.

I've been wondering lately if his relationship with Kim basinger wasn't more serious than I previously thought. He does say "I love you, and more than that I want you" in Scandalous.

I think he fell in love very easily and very fast. The trick was staying in love.

"Wonderful Ass" Vanity

"Peach" Kim Bassinger

"I Wanna Be Your Lover" Patrice Rushen

"Dinner With Delores" Madonna?? lol I know I heard a rumor on here about that one but also people said he was talking aobut Warner Brothers metaphorically. I don't really know. But I think it's funny that line about her eating Like a Brontosaurus
She was packin' it in
The first night we dined
And by the next time
This girl was eatin' all but the tip. I *wish* it was about Madonna

She, herself recently was interviewed about their fling after he passed and she said it was intense. She actually stayed with him for a bit and her family had to come get her because they thought he put her under some type of spell because she was there 24/7. That's her on Peach making those noises.

I can just imagine women getting into a cat fight over who certain songs were written about...

A lot of these songs listed are nothing more than fan assumptions. I assumed quite a few of his songs until I realized he told more than one person about TMBGITW being about them. I even read that some of those love songs was inspired by someone else's relationship. And if (IF) I understood Jill correctly in her interview, not all of the love songs were actually about a particular person but some fake (fantasy, perhaps?). Hmm lol. I would only believe the ones that Prince actually admitted to from his own lips to the world. I agree with the poster that said he probably told more than one woman that a certain song was about her. Just my opinion. He didn't admit to a lot of these songs for a reason. lol. He was quite busy with the women after 1985. It's hard to tell what's for whom when there are so many involved. Too much.

We need to make an official Org list of which song is supposedly for which lady Im just saying

Oh, thanks for the mention of Andy Allo. I was wondering who that was singing on the RnRLA vid. Very pretty woman.

Re Basinger & Peach, she was probably the lightest of all his women and the lyrics say

"She was dark she was tan" so thinking that wasn't her lol

ITA re impossible to tell, more than one girl etc. Who knows? It's kinda fun to speculate though, and of course it's interesting when he actually SAID (publicly) that this song was about this person.

I don't think he was monogamous at any time of his life necessarily.

GimmeThat said:

When Doves Cry and Private Joy are said to be about Susan Moonsie.

That would be huge.

The lyrics subject and the times at which it was written suggest Vanity and their break-up.
Pure speculation on my side, but... Susan? Really?

Well it might have to be 2 lists, cause according to Jill Jones there was the private relationships and the public ones

Prince just wanted everyone to speculate on who the songs are about...and we're still doing it.

Really? I didn't know she said that. Where did she say this? I'd love to listen to it or read it.

The recent Jill Jones podcast around the the 1:13:30 mark http://podcastjuice.net/j...interview/ after she talks about plantation mistresses.

I always thought it was about women in general and not one specific one. He treated his romances the same way with all his girlfriends and fiances. So alot of experiences would cross over with many of them. (So I can see why some would think this or that song was about them)

Besides, to me anyways, these songs said less about the women in question and more about him and how he idealized romantic relationships and expectations.

I know, right? Just Google it though. Not to say that the internet speaks the truth all the time but there are ton of pages out there that say it's about Susan. Vanity was a big deal but apparently he and Susan were on and off for years, before and after Vanity (and maybe during, who knows?).

I read where people were saying the WDC song was because they (him and Susan) had a fight and she cried. Really? lol. I'm positive not only did Prince argue with more than one woman but he made more than one woman cry. But that doesn't say much anyway. It's the following below that led be to believe this song was about Vanity instead.

From the "original" Purple Rain script. I have original in quotes because I don't know if that script is real or not. I got the info about the script from here. I saved it from the site it was on and read every bit of it. Apparently the script was before Vanity left. So her name's still in it.


"PRINCE watches Morris a moment, then
eyes Vanity again. The heat between
them is apparent."

..."watches the Girls bowing to thunderous
APPLAUSE. Suddenly Vanity looks at him
and touches the earring she's wearing --
it's his Mother's. His knees weaken
instantly, and he locks eyes with her.
The heat between them is unmistakable."


When Doves Cry lyrics:
"Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and you"

He speaks on this heat twice in the script. Also, there's a part in the script where he looks in the mirror and sees her face and when he turns around to face her she's not there. He smiles. I guess it's no coincidence he's looking in the mirror while singing When Doves Cry.

I can't say for certain about anything I've read that P didn't confess to but some things seems clearly unlikely than likely. WDC, in particular, appears more unlikely about Susan Moonsie than likely. But I will not argue with anyone's beliefs. If someone believes it's about her. I thought it myself in the beginning only because that's what I was reading on websites.

And that Mi-Ling stuff is an excellent example of more unlikely than likely. Uh-uh. A big no. I still laugh thinking about her explanation of what "slow down" meant. Prince talking about how she "worked a lot"? Ok. Lol. I laugh at anyone who believes that statement to be true.

Prince singing a song about working a lot when it was near there all he ever did? Prince ain't never, ever, ever gave any indication of LRC "slow down" to be about someone working on their job too much. His words at the Montreux (2009) late show said enough without Mi-Ling's explanation. "Taking your clothes off for anybody... I thought you were saving that for me, baby". Mi-Ling (according to her) definitely wasn't wild and giving up herself "for anybody" and she surely didn't tell Prince she was saving it for him when he didn't even know she was leaving. She said she was already jammin to this song before someone that worked for Prince told her, I believe she said in 1985, that it was about her. If she truly believed it why wait until he died to talk about writing a book on it. Smh.

All because it was someone that worked for Prince that said this to her. Well Susan (who worked for prince as well) said TBO to be about Susannah. I still see where sites have this listed. Yet, not only did Prince say it was about the movie and Vanity in that 2014 Ebony magazine interview, he also confirmed it to be about Vanity again during her tribute when he said she knows. Prince said in the Ebony interview that people got stuff wrong... that so much was wrong. I mean really, some stuff is obvious and common sense, I would think. I agree with what someone said about him wanting us to speculate.

I noticed in his later performances of I Love U But I Don't Trust U Anymore he mentions "the 80s" as if trying to make it clear for people. I got the impression some might have had the wrong idea about that song for him to add "the 80s" after "the good old days" part. Assumingly.

Please forgive me for the lengthy text. I tend to type too much but not on purpose.

Besides, to me anyways, these songs said less about the women in question and more about him and how he idealized romantic relationships and expectations.

I believe there are a lot of his songs that relate to more than one experience in his life and that some experiences might have inspired a song that isn't about a specific person. Take the song Dionne for example. Someone in this topic mentioned Dionne Farris? That her name? That woman said she had met Prince once and it wasn't a let's-get-it-on kind of meeting. But the lyrics in Dionne would suggest more than a one-time professional meeting. He sings about how she should have let him down easy, held his hand, he could have whispered her name, she should have held on to her prize, he should have broke down and kissed her... I think it's her name he was inspired to use in the song but not the woman herself. I know I'm done speculating lol. Only Prince knew what Prince was thinking when he wrote all those songs. Some of these discussions are actually fun to read. The thread about the song Private Joy had me laughing so hard tears were in my eyes. They were trying to explain some of the lyrics and I swear that day was the best laugh I had in a long time. It's interesting speculating. I can't help but to wonder what P thought about some of the crazy, funny stuff people said about him, his music, and his women. lol.
