Yes she did. She clarified not just in a sexual way but he helped to shape her into the person she became. I thought that was very touching. You know, I always thought the fDeluxe song Lover might have been connected to him. That and Beautiful You

OldFriends, this thread is wearing me out!!! Good to see you in here! And Pink too. Love her!! [Edited 1/6/19 21:05pm]

yeah I feel the heavy spirit of LauraRichardson here lol

Can I say something? Susannah Melvoin is a back-up singer who may have co-written a few songs. She had a relationship with a prominent musician in her late teens, early twenties.

She is now in her late 50's. And??? I would be interested if she had made something of herself, but last I heard she was completing college in her 50's and in need of $. Sorry, but I think she is riding coatails.

I am now expecting these statements to get alot of hate from some. I am ducking...Good night.

What does any of this have to do with the interview with Toure exactly? What is the purpose outside of me seeing the same thing I've been seeing with the 'harem' attack mentality since Prince passed.

Exactly OF4S. What Susannah Melvoin did after Paisely Park and/or what she is doing today has absolutely squat to do with her time with Prince, their relationship, and what she meant to him. Although I did respond to list several of her musical endeavors on an earlier post.

*

Regardless of the "vulturistic harem attack" - which is quite laughable really - there is enough confirmed information and common knowledge among Prince's camp back then to solidify Susannah as a huge factor in his life. Even if the only thing we had was his written confirmation that he wrote Forever In My Life for her, that alone would be enough to validate her importance to him. If that's not a declaration of how deeply a man feels about a woman, I don't know what is.

OldFriends4Sale said: You asked why he didn’t introduce Devin to Wendy et al. My clumsy response was trying to answer that question. In what world would it have been possible to introduce her to his band? He’d be risking a whole bunch of his babes if he did that. I’m also trying to say Devin got just as much respect from Prince that the so called love of his life Susannah did, which was none. So I used the wrong word way back when when I spoke of his treatment of Devin, I should have said he treated her with deference, he tried to please her and looked after her in ways he didn’t have to. He was kind to her, he didn’t meet her just for sex. I never said you said Susannah was the love of his life but if you read this thread you will find that being said. [Edited 1/6/19 21:04pm]

Again, you said he was 'respectful' and a whole slew of other terms toward Devin. How was he being 'respectful' toward Devin, if keeping her a secret or private like that?

And in Prince's zone according to what he came up with family wise. He probably thought he was being respectful. But if you were put in that situation, how would you feel?
In the 70s 80s 90s moreso you hear a lot of songs about women settling and even being adversarial to the women, not the men.

.

I'll be the other woman
All your life
Just as long as I am the only one
Other than your wife
Your wife how would she feel
If she caught us together
The same way I would feel
if I caught you with another
Home I know comes first
And second to that Ill be
When you're not there with her
I want you right here with me

Ill be the other woman
Just as long as I know
I'm the only other woman
You make love to
Ill be the other woman
But Ive got to know
I'm the only other woman
You make love to

.

No Devin was a secret Susannah wasn't. Susannah lived in his house, helped decorate, entertained etc knew his family, he knew hers etc Same thing happened with Vanity.

.

But again, this MF stuff, you female fans don't even see how you look in how you go after the women Prince DATED/LOVED/HAD SEX WITH. Male fans sit back, shake our heads and ...

I think she must be coaching a few from the sidelines. If so, she forgot to make sure they refer to Susannah as "Susan"....you know, just for that added touch of shade and disrespect

Also, if the song Bedtime Story was really inspired by Devin D as she says it was then I think the lyrics to that song say it all:

*

Time 2 sleep
But I'm not sleepy yet
Close my eyes
But dreamland's not a sure bet
Don't go

Stay with me
Tell me a bedtime story

Long agom there was a princess
She was so fine
She was all alone
4 her prince
He never had no time
U can hear her crying

Don't go
Stay with me
Please talk 2 me

Far away
I want 2 go
And start my life all over
Instead, I'll stay
Maybe I'll find a 4-leaf clover

Stay with me
Tell me a bedtime story, yeah

Goodnight

At least she’s talking about Susannah and not Laura like you’re doing. Did Touré mention Laura’s name? No.

He was using Laura as an example to describe many of the responses on this thread. I'd say he is on point.

uh I'm talking about the attack mode that LauraRichardson had on every thread about any woman or associate. That attitude that is in this thread

And did you get it that Shhhh was recorded with Tevin ?

? Just wondering what it has to do with this thread? Makes no sense. Unless of course you are just trying to stir the pot.............so you just keep on quoting yourself sista, cuz pretty soon that's the only way you can get anybody to reply.

pinkcashmere23 said:

True. I'm watching a show from 2014 right now and he just performed a very moving rendition.

Yes, it was always a moving performance when he played it.

I just remembered something else too. During the Nude tour 1990, didn't he lay himself down on a huge red heart that gradually went backward until he was laying flat after playing that song? I'll have to go back and look at footage again, but I seem to recall that.

I'm not sure. I've only seen bits of The Nude tour but I recall him doing that in the SOTT movie with the huge heart shaped mirror after "If I Was Your Girlfriend." Yes,I love to watch him perform it and it's one of my favorite songs. At times even later in his career,he appeared to be connecting emotionally to it. I love how he also seemed to be singing it to the fans and made it about them at times. Great song any way you slice it!

pinkcashmere23 said:

I'll look for it again. I think the show I saw was one of the London shows.

"What we do know is she asked him for money and he gave her a loan, made her sign an IOU, the Estate knows the exact amount that is owed to them and it is in the paperwork, whether she has paid the Estate back, or whether they let it go I have no clue."

Yes, the Estate, loan documents, court papers, etc...were not part of this thread until you brought them here. So, no - not stirring the pot at all, just stating a fact. OF4S called you on it too.

Ok. I saw one from Japan back in 2013 but I don't recall that being part of the show. The shows from that tour aren't posted as often as others for some reason.

pinkcashmere23 said:

I know, bummer!! I might have even seen it on a promo clip that was done for the tour. I'll look for it again

I know! The one I watched was great! I wonder what happened with the documentary about the tour that was talked about a while back? The film maker shared some great footage!

There ya go, changing the narrative again. Post 41 has nothing to do with post 357. You were just being a smartass, and now you are trying to change it around.

Don't bring OF4S into it, he is more than capable of speaking for himself.

Please continue your conversation between you and yourself. It is quite entertaining.

Really PennyP...enough with the hypocrisy. You could teach a course about stirring the pot here on the Org, and in this case you are "the pot calling the kettle black" - starting at around post #336 with you and the "harem" chiming in with the nonsense remarks. Grow up!!

I am too! I would love to see the whole show. The clip from Japan is a bit over 20 min.

Yes, the Japan shows were great. I have a clip of him doing Cherry MoonQuestion Of U on Piano and then an erotic performance of Electric Man where he's on the ground thrusting in this tight black pants. Love that one!!
