During the Dirty Mind era, what was her role besides speaking a few lines on Head? She was a real part of the band, wasn't she?

She was his personal assistant at the time.

Hate to use such a word, but basically she was his bitch. Took care of his business and sang about sucking his dick. Not a position of dignity. When did she actually become a real member of the band? What instrument did she play?

Piano and Keyboards, background vocals.
She became a memember in 1981 when Gayle Chapman left the band
Lisa made the tour with Rick James hell for Gayle.

OK, cool

titty tease

Commanding Officer in charge of Hair Flipping.

Just when you thought you read it all Lisa was never Prince's assistant or "bitch"

I probably wanted to put this into the original question, but the words weren't there for it.

Oh, you have seen the Mountains outtakes video as well, eh?

This may sound really odd but I get such a kick out of watching the two girls in action during this video shoot. If looks could kill

I've never seen the video shoot, but the Mountains video itself gives me the creeps. Wendy's back is to the camera and she's sitting on the piano as though she and Lisa are closing ranks against these new intruders. The End of The Honeymoon video. I remember reading Wendy was pissed about the new members in the band; is that why she was the only one in the "Kiss" video? Was Prince trying to appease her? I always wondered about that. Anyway, in regard to the original question, I think it was Lisa'a job to be a quiet and integral presence in the band, and to kick copius amounts of ass.

Lisa's job trying to be quiet? Ha that who she is. And that is why I can never click with her as I would have with Wendy. Don't get me wrong she is a talent pianist but she is too mysterious to me and besides i like Wendy's personality better because she is outspoken and takes no s**t from no one and because of that she was often viewed as being more maschline just because she is a lady who express herself directly. Shoot put me and Wendy in the room together in front of people we could be the two fun-loving and clowning bitches around.

What's this about? why did you ask the question if you "knew" this?

WonderU said:

damn, learn to take a joke, they were just playing

Tommy Barberella took over her job years later.

Lisa was the most important band member.

Nah, Lisa was on board in 80 on the Dirty Mind album and tour. Curious, Lisa was around when P opened for Rick? I always thought Lisa, who was a shipping clerk, knew someone who worked for P and heard that he was looking for a girl to play keys to replace Gayle. So she sent P's management a demo tape.

You right on target blackguitarist. Gayle felt uncomfortable and didnt want to perform head no longer due to her religious beliefs but her replacement Lisa didnt have any problem doing it. Lisa said herself after Head Prince wasn't consider to be a shock value to her anymore.
