Imagine -he was a real lover of the soul. I think he meant it everytime. Everyone seems to have felt special and that I guess was one of his true gifts

Wendy Melvoin: I remember being at that “Sexuality” video shoot and him on stage with that little black jacket and that tie thing around his neck and his black pants with white buttons on the side. And we looked at each other for the first time and I thought, “Oh, I could so fall in love with that girl easy.” It doesn’t matter what sexuality, gender you are. You’re in the room with him and he gives you that look and you’re like, “Okay, I’m done. It’s over.” He’s Casanova. He’s Valentino.

See it's stuff like this that make me have a whole lotta questions about those 2.

I found an Interview with Nona.. why is it that people think becuse he was out with that person at ahows etc that they were together:

I dont think he and Carmen or nona had anythimng other than a working relationship/fRENDSHIP WITH PRINCE.

Nona Gaye Hello Interview from 1994 (Talks Prince and Lovesign)

Hello magazine – October 1994

Interview by Barbara Pepe; photography by Brian McKellan

Photography can be seen in the NonaNet family gallery

"Nona: The artist formerly known as Prince.


Nona, how closely are you working with him now?


Nona: He’s doing my album, so we see each other quite often. I go to Minneapolis to work on the stuff. So we work closely together.


How would you describe your relationship with Prince?


Nona: He’s my best friend, that’s the truth. And that’s all I’m going to say.


How do you feel about the rumors that you two are much closer than that?


Nona: People can say whatever they want to say. That happens all the time. When you see two people hang out together you just assume. And people can assume as much as they like but, my business is my own business. He’s my best friend. "

This is an old article, sheila E has stated numerous times to the media back in the day that they were just friends.besides nona gaye has already stated on Tv one that they were in a relationship for three years, carmen electra has said they had a romance on Entertainment tonight.

oh really... I have not come across either saying verbally that they were in a relationship or whatever with Prince..

yup nona recently did an interview with TVOne and carmen did an interview with Entertainment tonight ( u can find it on youtube ) here is a quote from carmen from her Insatgram regarding her relationship.

well Carmen Electra feels left out, here is a quote from her from instagram

" we shared the same space for about 3 years but it seems like prince fans only new about that and other people remember me for other things. And yes we have all had our own special relationship with him and we all deserve to grieve properly that's why I felt hurt when one of his x wives took me off his memorial list. I was shocked but realized it wasn't my problem it was hers and had the opportunity to grieve with his fans and that was more healing then anything". " I was really hurt when I found one of his x wives took me off his memorial list. I guess it's not my problem it's hers so I grieved with the fans and it was healing . U would think people would come together during such a hard time and allow everyone to grieve properly but that was not the case . After all these years I guess I feel sorry for her "

#coatofpinkcashmere Today is the day that the song was released 23 years ago now...
The song was written years before but wasn't released until after we separated, I didnt think
It would ever be released and was surprised to hear it 🎼 as I was out there on the other side of the world living my life ...
The day I first heard it was my 18th birthday.
I walked into the house from a long trip visiting my family in the uk to spend my 18th bday with Prince, there was a beautiful song playing I didn't realize what it was about until moments later when he brought out the coat as my 18th bday gift 🎂💕💗💖 It was the most romantic thing I've ever experienced till this day and my best bday ever! I will never forget that day or any of the time spent with him...
Missing him dearly and trying not to be selfish I figured today would be the day to share a little snippet of my wonderful gift that goes with a beautiful song!
This is my story and it hurts to feel that some people try to take that from me ...
🙏🏼

And if anyone has anything to say about this all my info is on the pic! You can contact me personally u know who u are, u can say it to my face 💃🏻

Wendy Melvoin

Then the next day, I get this call: “Prince would like you to come and rehearse with him on acoustic guitar for `The Tavis Smiley Show’ he’s doing.” Curiosity got the best of me. I went down, and he was remarkably kind and open, and gave me a huge hug. He had me sit in with his band, and I hung with him for two hours.

The next day, it was just him and me, and he was gorgeous. He was the guy I knew when I first met him. He was the guy who spent the night at my and Lisa’s house on our pullout bed. I held on to him and kept kissing him and hugging him and telling him I loved him. I don’t know what to think of it. He knows we all love him.

I sorta lost Prince and he sorta lost me after the Lovesexy/Batman period. Most of the 90s actually. I still watched videos and performances, still listened to songs, usually if they were on the radio.
But socially for some reason he wasn't speaking to me in the 90s and I was in college and living life differently during that period. I discovered a lot of other music and bands that seemed to be expressing the world in a way I could hear.

When I Hate U came out, I became really excited, I would run to the record store like I used to, to see when the album came out, I bought the single love it then bought the album etc It was ok, but it didn't catch me.

It was the ONA period that I fell in love with him again. I was watching him perform at the Aladdins and I think it was Pop Life and Gotta Broken Heart Again, and it all just opened up again. It was like see a friend again over a long period of time. All the memories flooded back.

I feel out around New Power Soul. I contribute most to that to me going in the service and my believes/feelings changing. I never really connected when I got home from the service. It wasn't Prince or the lack of quality of his music, I was in a different place. Still am. I still respect and admire Prince.

Prince's views just did not connect with me. Aside from his religous views. I think of myself as a realist. I do not believe there will be peace on earth. I believe in the Bible and what is to come. The ONA period was hard for me to get into and 20Ten.

Prince's death has brought me back. I am trying to re-discover the things I missed in the last saw, 15 years.

Ugh, Anna. I read an interview where she said that she basically left P without ending the relationship, went to Europe and didn't give him her phone number. Expert level ghosting. And now shes's all sentimental? I'm not buying it. Best of luck with your attempt to become relevant again.

Ah but she also said it was because of how Prince was treating her.

I'm going to stand by what Prince said himself, about how a lot of people think certain songs are about THEM and they are not. Or how people think certain songs are about a certain person, and they are NOT.

Prince really never said WHO these songs are about. Prince has never said Adore is about this person or When Doves Cry is about that person. Or if Mayte was the "banished one" on The Rainbow Children. Just stop.

Let's just enjoy the music and the little know CONFIRMED tibits we do know about.

I believe 1/2 of them were probably truly dedicated/inspired by people

.

engineers Susan Rogers & Coke Johnson said he wrote a lot of notes in connection to the songs and there were people who inspired songs.
.
LISA of course is Lisa Coleman
0+> said in a 98 interview that Forever In My Life was about Susannah Melvoin ( ...she knows )

Strange Way of Saying I Love U about Lisa Coleman after an arguement

In This Bed I Scream dedicated 2 Lisa Wendy & Susannah
And 2 songs from LotusFlow3r inspired by Kristen Scott Thomas and
Valentina about Salma Hayak

.

It's not hard to believe an artist/musician would pull inspiration from people in his life. That is generally how it goes when it comes to Artists. I like that he did, it showed he had organic emotional relationships with people contrary to people saying he was so beyond humans and a bit cold and mechanical in that respect.

MOVIE STAR was about Morris Day (we never seem to focus on the men lol)

Anna seems very sweet but also very keen to emphasise her Prince connection but guess she's just protecting her first love. Everybody hooked on Prince!

It was my honor and privilige to serve. Over time, I realized that we all change. Prince was in a different place than I was. That is not a bad thing, it is life. We have friends and over time, those relationships change or even end. I have always respected Prince for his creativity and work ethic. And always will. I am here to judge him or anyone. We are blessed, Prince continues to touch us thru his output. He is gone, but not really.

She could have done that in private with whoever the person was.

Half heterosexual man, half fancy lesbian.

I think Wendy and Prince loved each other musically. They expressed that kind of tension onstage - I love watching them - they communicate alot without speaking and I always felt that Wendy 'got' Prince and was always there musically just when he needed her and that it was a reciprocal respect based on everyone being connected and innately knowing their role and fulfilling their potential within it - the chemistry was really beautiful between them.
