Prince and Rosie Gaines as a Vocal Duo

was looking at some Nude Tour videos, the Rock IN Rio Festival, and listening to the Diamonds and Pearls album and marveled just how great Prince and Rosie sounded vocally as a duo. From "Diamonds And Pearls" "Walk Don't Walk", "Gett Off" "Cream" or "Nothing Compares 2 U", In my opinion Prince when singing with Rosie has a synergy that is comparable to Prince and Dez from '80-82 with Mick and Keith guitar riffing, or Eric Leeds' way of playing sax and imitating the bombast and sublime nuiances in P's singing voice at times. But like a good things (and in the case of Prince) that don't last even before they do.

Love their duo work on "Diamonds & Pearls"

I didnt go for it at first just cuz I'm not into Prince sharing the spotlight... but it works really well. It somehow makes it more complete.
had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone

agreed but Nothing Compares 2 U is just rot.

I much prefer the live version of Diamonds and Pearls from the Special Olympics opening.
