Tongue???

MoneyMade said:

but she still lives by her principles, I suspect... And, to hear Prince talk, his beliefs have migrated closer to hers...

DesireeNevermind said:

Yep
this was done on stage during the performance of Head
This is before the Dirty Mind album release
You know how Prince would feature a new song from a upcoming album on the previous albums tour

MoneyMade said:

That's a big thing though, everyone can't be on the big stage
She's influencing a lot of your musicians

And she sure looks good now

And if she didn't leave we wouldn't have had all the great songs that came about because of Lisa's collaborations with Prince

Another one from the Minneapolis-days, at her Myspace. Sweet honeybun and she could've made a great couple with Teena Marie

She was and still is very pretty. Was she Prince's girlfriend or were they just friends? Why did she leave? How long was she in the group?

lipstick said:

Pretty sure they were never involved. She left because she was a Christian and held very strong beliefs, and what Prince wanted to do didn't fit with her morals and ethics. Same as Dez, but earlier on.

I always thought that Gayle and Teena Marie resembled a lot. She always reminded me of Teena in appearence.

Ride on

Nice to see thread about the most overlooked former-member.
I bought her self-titled album from 2003 and it's very nice to listen to.
I asked her if she would tour, and she said she could, but she needs some help to set it up.

I'd like to bring her to Europe, how many of U would like to attend a Gayle Chapman concert?

Sophianestesia said:

Is that what u do, Sophia? Book and set up tours? A tour promoter?

blackguitaristz said:

No, it's not. I'm running a theatre which is available for rent, but with the whole crisis, I'm not gonna do it in the next future (the chiefs are not gonna hire me due to costs).
In fact, I contacted Gayle months ago for an italian appearence, but things were different then.

That's why I feel you should do what you wanna while your young enough and sharp enough, just look at how cool Gayle Chapman was in those pics, man I envy her.

Dayclear said:

I with U on that

I love how inventive people are when they're in a 'hungry' place, how they dress
That's one reason why I loved the early looks of Prince and the bands

Is there a less relevant former Prince band member than Gayle Chapman?

Brofie said:

Why all the negativity man. I'm shure if she had not the talent to play keyboards, she would've never been hired by P in the first place.
But he did acknowlegde her ability to throw down and that's why she performed well with him on a number of shows in the early days.
She left his band in an early stage as well, because she apparently had different ideas how she wanted to move on.
Because she didn't hang around, she simply is dissed for that reason ? I just don't get that.

Shango said:

I didnt say she had no talent to play keyboards. I dont care why she left. I am not "dissing" her - that is your incorrect assumption. I simply asked if there was someone less relevant that used to be with Prince.

Brofie said:

Oh okay, i see. In that case, Wally Brooks and Greg Safford come to mind.
