Well he went out with her 80s, this album its on came out in 80s and her name is Vanity!!
Vanity I cannot speak of what I feel And yet I feel so much I know that woman's arms can heal me Like an angel's touch She says she likes the accent She thinks it's so polite I think she going to like it more When we're alone tonight She cannot speak of what she feels And yet she feels so much Except her lover's arms can heal her Like an angel's touch Money's money my little honey A rich man's jokes are always funny Build them walls but I'm coming through Don't trouble trouble till it troubles you Money's money my little honey A rich man's jokes are always funny Ring came off in heights of passion Wear it now, and that's not fashion You open up your heart heart behold Another door slams shut And tongues are not of steel But take a look how deep they cut FUNKNROLL! ![]() ![]() | |

We used to have that album at the radio station i used to dj at, but i don't think anyone ever played anything off of it. I didn't know Andre Cymone worked on it. Its not bad, but nothing really stands out on it imo. Pretty generic. Change it one more time.. | |

Following that idea, the song "Prince Charming" from the album "Prince Charming" is about Prince, the album came out in the 80s and his name is Prince ![]() ![]() It's all in the lyrics, Don't you ever, don't you ever Stop being dandy, showing me you're handsome Prince charming Prince charming Ridicule is nothing to be scared of Don't you ever, don't you ever Lower yourself, forgetting all your standards Silk or leather or a feather Respect yourself and all of those around you [Edited 5/24/09 15:14pm] Lion -- Go Peter go!! | |

Never been a fan of 'Manners & Physique', it has a real generic sound for the time. Not like his earlier solo albums which are really interesting and under-rated - lots of horns, strings all kinds of things going on musically.
The song 'Vanity' is from 1983's 'Strip' album. I'm not up on his or Vanity's love life, but it seems like a fine line between her being in Prince's camp and not being. They would've had to have been dating before the album came out, but during or after her aliance with Prince (who gave her the name obv.) . [Edited 5/24/09 15:25pm] | |

Photographs of them together[ posed for studio ones ] do exist, because there was a documentary on Adam shown in the UK about 5-10 years ago and I remember seeing pics of Vanity and Adam on the programme. They were black and white and they were holding each other, they looked good together and seemed to have a real chemistry. They looked relaxed and happy. I think they dated before she met Prince so it would have been around 1980 or 81. | |

Really? Well if the song is about her, obv. she wasn't known as Vanity when they dated. Other than the song being called 'Vanity' there's nothing in the track lyrically to suggest it would be about Denise Matthews, fun if it was though. | |

Yeah, so from that doc it says she was going out with Ant in 81...she started seeing Prince around 82, the Strip album came out the end of 83 where she was already named Vanity, im sure he would have known this. also he was very much a huge star in the UK in the early 80s where Prince was still fairly unknown, although Ant's popularity was starting to decline around 83 where Prince was escalating 10 folds, so it could be about her. Maybe its in Denise Matthews autobiography or Adam Ant's one. FUNKNROLL! ![]() ![]() | |

I read Adam Ants biography a few months ago and he discusses dating Vanity There is a story in the biography of how he is in a club, i think, with her and Rick James comes in and starts saying stuff like 'why you with that white boy when you could be with me etc.. they both laughed and left ![]() I'ts quite a good read he suffered a bad breakdown a few yrs back which was well documented in the UK press The book also discusses his relationship with Jamie Lee Curtis and Heather Grahame lucky lad ![]() The book is called Stand and Deliver What you don't remember never happened | |
