Male: Alexander O'Neal
Female: Rosie Gaines

Boni Boyer (rip)

even Prince said so, "Can't nobody mess wit that girl!"

No, he left The Time because he didn't want to take orders from P and he didn't want to be molded into P's alter ego which Morris was very ok to do.

Oneal's substance abuse problem didn't start until after he hit it big with Jam and Lewis.

and it is not clear to me if Oneal's problem was drug or alcohol.

I think Rosie Gaines!.

Alex was originally slated to be the front man of the Time before Morris Day got the job.Hence,Prince's psuedenemn of "Alexander Nevermind".

That i already know,but how can people say he was in the Prince camp when he never recorded for Prince or went on tour with Prince. Alexander O'neal made his fame by being with Jam and Lewis.

Would you consider Sonny T as part of the Prince camp when he tried out for the band after Andre left. and BrownMark got the gig. No, you wouldn't consider him as bing in the camp because he wasn't in the band back then. He didn't make the Prince camp until late 90 or early 91 after Miko left the group. So come on people, Alexander left the group, even before any vocal were put on tape. So in my book He never was in P's camp

Whoah really? Can that be proven that that's actually where that pseudonym came from?
