You're right about Susan. I thought she was the hottest of all Prince's proteges, but Brenda's a f-n man-beast.

I can't find anything on Brenda, but according to Wikipedia:

"(Susan) married actor David Garfield on December 29, 1988. Garfield died on November 24, 1994, after being hit by a drunk driver."

The truck driver was one of the dictator's slaves, that was on purpose.

Brenda and Roy Bennett seperated, although I think I read that Brenda continued singing at least for a while.

They're in the dungeon under his MLPS home with the other ex-Prince associates. He stores them there and has his fanatic fans create back-stories on what they are doing now so as not to cause suspicion. He makes them sing and play Purple Rain over and over for their meals. Its true.

you have no clue. I can't speak for Susan because she was put into the group(s) because she was dating Prince, but Brenda is an amazing singer, who would constantly impress Prince. She went on to have a career outside of him, recording for a number of people including John Palumbo.

There are a few singers that Prince really relied on back in the day, and they included Jill Jones, Suzannah and Brenda.

As far as I know, she has retired.

Easy to write her off, if you don't know the story.

Yeah I agree her voice was really good and it was never mentioned anything about her and Prince and if u listen carefully 2 each song she may b a "2nd voice" but her voice is so good...if she had the chance 2 sing songs that show the quality of her voice she may had a better career.

No, I don't have any sources, but this is from memory...

I'm pretty sure that Susan owned an art gallery in the nineties. I'm also pretty sure that Brenda joined Prince on stage at a concert at Paisley Park during the "Rave" era.

Brenda was the best singer in the whole Vanity 6 / Apollonia 6 lineup. Her voice was quite similar to Margie Cox's.

You see Roy Bennett's name quite a bit in the credits of televised concerts. He's a lighting director or something, isn't he?
