MAVIS

Should have featured on more Prince albums. She has such
an incredible voice. I don't really understand why she
wasn't on more of his albums. They could have done some
mean duets together.

I know he wrote her a lot of tracks, and she does feature
on the GB album, but that's not really what I'm looking
for. There is, fcuz, "God Is Alive" but it was never placed
on either GB or Rave so I won't count that one.

I might be overlooking something but I don't think she's
featured on any other Prince album, has she?

I'd like to see him do a proper duet with Mavis, something
like "U Make My Sun Shine" where they both have extensive
vocal parts.

Uhm, not to say no thing beyond me reasons, but Mavis was
not the one that sang Round&Round, that was Tevina.


wasn't it?

I saw her onstage back in 1995 it was so cool and emotional... She is very nice and I hope to hear from her soon...

i can't believe how warm and soulful her voice is, the stuff she did with Prince is great , especially love 'you will be moved', what a killer track that is.

when he covered "When Will We Be Paid?" that would have
been another fine opportunity to get Mavis in the Park,
and let her contribute to it. She could have screamed
some hIgh notes on that one.

Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

The last time I saw her was at Paisley party a couple years ago. She tore up that stage. It was great.

Agree.

Mavis / Boni / Rosie ... great gathered great voices around him.
Unfortunately he has never cared to put too much emphasize on any of his side projects so it's really a pity that he did not feature Mavis on more productions / albums.
