Are Prince & Vanity Still Friends?

I know it's been years since the dayz of Vanity 6 and since then she's gone through a series of changes in her life,but I wanted to know if Prince & Vanity are still friends? Does she call him up from time to time to just say hello,and possibly catch up on old times.

i am thinking they still have some sort of relationship. right after she was diagnosed with cancer, he released come. that is her on orgasm. she wasn't making any money, so he did that song so she could get paid. seems like a friendly thing to do, in a twisted, prince way. lol


peace,

Denise Matthews/Vanity has never been diagnosed with cancer.

She's suffered through kidney failure and other health issues (related to her drug abuse in her younger years), but not cancer.

I don't know about now, but just scanned this as I thought you'd be interested in reading it.

There is a link to her current website behind the thumbnail.

Article on Vanity from 'The Daily Mirror' (1984)

No frikin way. Denise(Vanity) is tosuper christian and clean to do something like that. She was a nun and was about to get married when Come was released. Besides I always assumed that was Mayte whining on that album.

Nope,it is indeed Vanity.He simply lifted her moans from the 1983 Vanity 6 outtake "Vibrator",and created a new song ("Orgasm") out of it.

Correct, I don't ever remember Prince having Mayte moan or groan on any records. Dressed next to nothing yes, but moaning no. Plus if you read the credits where he says female orgasm: She knows. It was Vanity, but she had moved past the nasty girl image and I guess he was respecting that.

1. She wasn't a nun, or about to become one.

2. Nun's don't get married.

3. Vanity isn't Catholic, whereas nuns are.

4. It isn't Mayte "whining" on the track "Orgasm". The moans are identical to those found on the unreleased Vanity 6 track "Vibrator". It is Denise Matthews, AKA Vanity on that track, as well as all of the segues on that album.

I remember someone asking her about Prince at some point and she responded "If God wanted me to talk to Prince, He'd put prince on my phone." But that was alonggggg time ago.


I think that she'd probably lay hands on him and release them cheatin' demons out of him. smile


Vanity is dead. Denise has been resurrected.
