I was listening to "Graffiti Bridge" today and Elisa Fiorillo sings on some of the album. Does anyone have a picture of her? Shei's one of the few Prince proteges that I have not seen. Also, does anyone have any of her work and if so is it any good?

Huh? I'm confused...

I remember before her Prince days she did a song with Jellybean Benitez in 87 called Who found who?

1. www.elisafiorillo.com

2. Her voice was ok but nothing to jump up and down about

3. She is not really a Prince protegee since she had albums out before Prince gave her a song.

i have her album that has a couple of Prince songs on it. it is called I AM.
the best song on it for me is OOH THIS I NEED.

i thought she was hot.

I think "loves no fun" is a very underated and rather sad Prince song.

"on the way up" is good fun. (if very dated)


Yeah she was hot.

I got her other solo too which has no Prince songs.

I think she has a very good voice. Hear her on "only love" or even "loves no fun".

Didn't know that she's still around.
Her Paisley Park album "I am" got some promotion back in the days. The promo of "On the way up" was shown on MTV from time to time and she also guested at Club MTV (hosted by Downtown Julie Brown, if there are other guys around here as old as me to remember that).

I recommend "Undecided", an album she released a few years ago through her website. Good variety, and as always, a great voice.

Well hell, how old are you because I don't consider myself old at all and even I remember that...

I have the "i am " cd. I like the paisley production on ther.I haven't listened to this cd too much. I also have dale Bozzio's paisley cdna dI have NEVER listened to it. That makes no sense because I really like Missing Persons and ,of course,Prince.I just didn't expect much from this pairing.Oh,well..I still have 'walking in la" on cd!!

I saw Elisa on that music/dance show that Nia Peeples used to host (Party Machine?) doing "Ooh This I Need". She was really HOT!
