Is it true that Prince's first long term relationship was with Wendy's twin sister
Susannah Melvoin.
How serious was this relationship and how long weere they together.
Has Sussanah said anything about Prince since the end of that relationship.

They were pretty serious. I think there was some marriage talk? But I think it was ended when he let Wendy go, which ironically, some of their arguments stemmed from Wendy being so close to Susannah (If I Was Your Girlfriend) and everything.

they were engaged, and she moved in with him for a couple of months. What

I imagine this being his major relationship (more so than mayte)

That's the gist of what I read in Per Nilsen's DMSR.

Which songs were written about Susannah besides IIWYGF durinh that relationship?

condition of the heart

I imagine there are also a few bootlegs from the dreamworks album that were scrapped after they parted ways... but i'm not familiar with much bootleg.

also, there was a pparently a song called 'wally' that was about the breakup that was destroyed as soon as it was finished (broke my heart reading that)

I dont think i've ever seen her, does anyone have a pic?

Uh, she looks like Wendy.

Yeah they were pretty serious...they even went as far as buying Ikea stuff.

Nothing Compare 2 U ???

infact, i think u may find... that it's Wendy, who looks like Susannah

She certainly inspired some of his most heartfelt song writing. Adore, Forever In My Life....

The Ballad of Dorothy Parker is supposed to be about Susannah.

Maybe it's just because she's more traditionally feminine...?

Thanks for the replies and cool pics I didnt know a lot of this stuff.
Do we know any definitive dates from when they started dating to when they broke up.
Somehow I get the feeling she was his soulmate maybe thats been played down but I think sometimes when people have soulmate but it doesnt go right for any circumstances or peoples decisions etc then as time goes on people perhaps play down how special it was so they dont have to deal with it.

BTW do we know what people the song Reflection was written about, besides from the mention of Prince's mother.

LoL

I love you go waaay around "Wendy looks like a butch lesbian, even at age 18".

But it's true. Wendy was always more of a tomboy, Susahhah was more frilly, cutesy dresses, long hair, apply make up.
