Who was/is the best singer in Prince's camp?

Rosie Gaines and Jill Jones were the first two to come to mind.

Rosie, Boni Boyer, & Jill Jones. I always thought Brenda from Ap/Vanity 6 had some underrated pipes too.

First one that made me wonder who the hell she was and where she came from was the incredible Rosie Gaines. nutty

I know you will kill me for this but i think Vanity had a very nice voice. Much better than that weak voiced Rosie Gaines

First thought goes out to Jill Jones. I always really liked Sheila E. too. And nobody mentions Wendy Melvoin either.

If you go for technique, then Ms. Jones. When going for ALL those loverly Prince tunes; then Sheila.

Lots of people saying Rosie Gaines. I always thought her voice was seriously limited, but that's okay.

I'm into music first and voice second. Going by voice, I would have to say Rosie Gaines.

I love Rosie Gaines' voice. I thought she was a wonderful addition to the NPG. Also Mavis Staples voice really impresses me.

thanks..I don't think some of the guys in Princes camp get enought credit... I'm guessing because they are usually overshadowed because fans may be too quick to want to compare them to P...Alexander has delivery that is hard to match...

Susannah? How do you know she can sing at all? Show me one recording where you can hear her singing. She was merely a backup in the Family - Paul did the real vocals.

..ok..let's get overly picky why don't we..fact is they are associated...one way or another...I didn't realize "camp" was such a literal term... rolleyes....next time I'll consult my "associated artists and people" dictionary before I post so blindly...
