Truth about Vanity & Prince

Firstly, Denise's involvement with Prince was not minor. They 'Both' called one another soulmates. When Denise was sick and ran up almost $300k in medical bills. Prince rushed to pay them off. He has admitted more than once some of his greatest hits were inspired by her. I traveled with her for a period of time as her Road Manager. They bond was deep, and everyone who personally knew Prince well, can tell you his love for Denise was deep. And pretty much every female he dated after their breakup, was a clone of Denise.

You were her road manager? During what years? You must have some great stories!

Thanks. Good to know he helped with her medical bills. I’d like to hear some happy stories about their time together.

Part of that was using her moaning from "Vibrator" (unreleased) on "Orgasm" from Come. Because she was an artist on a song, she was entitled to performance royalties.

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

Vanity's moaning from "Vibrator" can also be heard on Madhouse's 8 album.

I wonder if she received a substantial amount of money for that? I have no idea how the logistics work with getting paid for performing on a song like that.

Well, I suppose it's how one defines "substantial."

There are artist royalties for performing on the record. There are also points on an album, which I presume most of us know about already.

She likely got artist royalties. Just a guess, but it would allow her to get a check for every unit sold. Or he could've just cut her a check for work received.
