Bonni Boyer Vs. Rosie Gaines? Rosie Gaines' vocals in I Rock Therefore I Am are the highlight of the song for me (although Scrap D's rap provides fierce competition  ).
She is also one of the few saving graces on the Diamonds & Pearls album. But Bonni's vocals at the end of The Line, with the church organ... "precious lord, take my hand..." - probably my favourite ten seconds of any Prince song, period. I'm not sure who I'd pick but I miss the big black divas in Prince's music... | |

Is it Bonnie who appears on the Sign'O' The Times movie?... on the keys? How long did she stay with him? [Edited 1/21/06 18:57pm] | |

[Edited 1/21/06 18:57pm] Boni was with Prince for Sign 'O' The Times and Lovesexy tours...1987-1989. | |

Boni died in 1996 of a stroke.
She was only 38.. very tragic. Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!

I didn't even know that! 
I loved her, she was great! 
...and I can't forget her dancing in "Housequake"!!!  | |

My... what a hateful comment. I wonder where THAT comes from... please tell... I'd love to know. I didn't know Bonni had died... that is very sad... her voice was incredible. | |

I love both in different ways but Id have to say Rosie. Did you order a pizza ma'am? Prince- UTCM | |

I prefer Boni.
She fit Prince more. (liked their chemistry on the Sign O' the Times movie) I don't care that much for Rosie. I mean should could sing, but her sound never really fit the Prince music to me. I always just wished he'd sung Rosie's parts. I might have liked RG separate from Prince but not with him. | |

She just shines (almost OUT-shines) with Prince on Into The Light and I Will. | |

I liked Bonnie better, Rosie tended to over power prince with her vocals. |

what inspired you're comparison of the two? I've just been listening to The Line lots lately and also the Diamonds & Pearls album... and one of the highlights on both of these are Bonni and Rosie. I do agree that Rosie had a tendency to over-power... and even out-shine in places. | |
