This song came up on the ipod today. The best song ever on the Applonia 6 LP.
Brenda was so underrated!! I loved her voice.

Holla!

Love that song. LOOOOOVVEEE it!!!

Brenda was the shit! She should have kept singing after the denise of Apollonia 6.

I like Prince's version. I never heard Apollonia 6's version.

Prince has a version? Oh you mean A million DAYS?

i love this song...its c-ute.

Terilicious said:

No, there is actually a version of Prince doing "A Million Miles"
It's a bootleg. Sadly it's not the entire song though.....

Yeah....my FAVORITE SONG on the Apollonia 6 LP. Second to that is "Some Kinda Lover". Brenda sang BOTH!!!!! GO BRENDA!!!!!

Love it, too! Very underrated, indeed. A song that has a lot of power to share. I like the lyrics. And yes, it lives by the way Brenda sings it. Many probs for her.

there is so much power in sheila's drumming during that song that makes it electrical! blue limosuine kicks ass as well

I've never heard it...obviously!

madartista said:

Me too!!

Yeah..... Prince's version that I have starts with "..if you were here my dear..."
I just heard the Apollonia 6 version today. The music is exactly the same. Brenda sounds okay. Prince sounded waaaaay better though.

alwayslate said:

No, really???

Terilicious said:

No, not really. The version Alwayslate is talking about is just a rehearsel. I do not think it in any way superior to Brenda's version. I love Brenda's part in Vanity and Apollonia 6.

Props to Tricky2 and Terrilicious for giving Brenda the rpops she deserves. She is sure underrated.

And also remember, Susan and Vanity and Apples did not have remarkable voices, so often their vocals are OR spoken sexily (Sex Shooter) OR there is a choir with Brenda's voice mixed to the fore... smart Prince.

I never understood why Brenda wasn't given more love...aside form the fact that she wasn't an obvious "bombshell." Her voice was so cool, so unique. She had so a confidence when she sang. To me she always seemed like the only one who really knew what she was doing. Too bad she didn't continue to do her thing vocally!

Thanks for the props Huey!!
