Well, for sure we know Vanity, Jill Jones and Lisa were all around. Not quite sure if they inspired these songs, though.

I always thought Wendy and Lisa were life partners (professionally and personally), not quite sure though.

Vanity and Susan Moonsie where his girls back then. I think Jill was only 16 in the 1999 video.

WTF? Wendy and Lisa were partners for many years but now are just friends and songwriting partners.

Wendy's twin sis, Susannah, is straight and was Prince's girl for the Purple Rain-Parade years.

Here's about 116 pages of the book "Possed" written by Alex Hahn, that will give some info. It's a good, guick and engrossing read.

I love threads like these....thanks! smile 1982-83 is one of my favorite era's for Prince. Just fantastic creativity and output.

I just googled Jill Jones and she was born on 1962...so she would have been around 20 when 1999 came out.

Yeah I think he was hot n heavy with Susan M. Vanity, Jill and then Susannah was coming around. Dog was chasin tail every day of the week. cool

2 of those songs are on the 1999 album: Delirious & Something In the Water
the reast are vault music
You probably listed them that way from a Purple Rush or Work collection?

Hot music definately... along with What Time Is It & the Vanity 6 album

Definately my fave period from P. P always had many women. More than the general public knew about simply because they weren't in his music circle so it wasn't advertised perse. But yeah, it's common knowledge that he was seeing J.J., Susan and V pretty much at the same time during 82. I have stated many times that P was in a pure zone during this period. Damn near everything he recorded was hot. Material that he released under his name as well as all of the stuff he wrote for The Time & V6. The Triple Threat Tour was legendary. I was blessed that I was able to witness it in the flesh. As far as influences, P has always had many. During that period, he was definately digging artists such as Adam Ant, Devo, Kraftwerk, Kim Carnes and Gary Numan. His 1999 album also infuses heavy gospel influences especially in his vocals, i.e. How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore, Free, International Lover and his unreleased version of Baby, You're A Trip. Mix all of that in with a nod to Parliament's Mothership Connection album, Elvis on Delirious, No Call U, Horny Toad and a dash of Hendrix and just P's own brand of music and you get the 1999 album.

Hey BG, great read as ever, any chance you will share your thoughts on Lotusflow3r???

I think for many here it is a return to form, maybe, almost on the same level as the output from his 80´s peak apart from TRC. I personally, having played it for over two weeks now, am beginning to think he has either pulled alot of stuff out of the vault and revamped it, or has gone back to the styles of music that originally influenced him. Listening to both discs, I was originally drawn to TRC, which I then played a few times, and realised this is not it.

The lotusflow3r album, is a style he has not, apart from Choas N Disorder, produced since the mid 80´s, at least not on an entire album.

Mplsound is a complete throwback to the early 80´s. apart from the ballads.

Anyway, these are merely assumptions on my part, but I am very curious what you think so far.

My apologies for wandering off the topic biggrin

BTW, Last week I met this American guy from LA last week, I happened to mention something about Prince with the 3 shows etc, and to my disbelief he told me he saw Prince, at the infamous Rolling Stones concert in 81. I threaded very lightly on the subject, but it was a very interesting insight, although I am pretty sure he was being very politically correct about it. However, he did say, for his part, the most shocking thing was seeing this guy wearing womens underwear on stage.. He also said he felt, that Mick Jagger could see that Prince was a rising star and that was the reason why the Stones took the risk of having him as a support act.

I will let you make of that what you will, but all thru the conversation, I could not help but think of some comments you made on a thread about "All the Critics..." referring to this concert wink lol
If it were not for insanity, I would be sane.

Thanx Jeffiner, that was a damn good read, it was abit strange meeting this guy and hearing his version of the events, he avoided the race issue big time, and to be honest i didnt want to press on that anyway, although I did throw in some remark about what happenned when Bob Dylan played in Slane castle in 84, and what a bunch of brainless fools did to that little village. Like BGz link, this guy also said that Prince was not booed off the stage, but he mentioned something about shoes being thrown, but given his age, he probably was getting carried away with the whole Bush thing. He also pushed alot on the issue that he was very young, almost admitting that he was ignorant back then. He said back then, there was alot of unemployment and people didnt have alot, and these Stones concerts were a release from all of that.

On a lighter point, BGz article, the bit about the bag of grey chicken bits, is f..... hilarious, i had to stop reading, i was laughing so much lol

Thanx...Lotus is a pretty cool album. I like it better than the last 3 P albums so....I like his guitar work on some of the cuts...Colonized Mind to me, is one of the best songs I've heard from P in years.

ernestsewell

According to LISA and WENDY's own words.....they knew each other since about age 3 or 4. They fell in love when Wendy was about 17 and Lisa was 20. This was just prior to Wendy coming into The Revolution (I'm guessing 1982 or so, since she joined up w/ Prince in 1983). They were partners for years and years.

They both have children. Lisa had a baby herself. I assume Wendy's partner now (who also happens to be named Lisa) had their baby. Neither is married to a man, but rather to a woman.

They both stated they were "married" in a whatever way they could be back in the 80's and 90's. They had a house together, lived together, etc. They mentioned that Prince knew of their cohabitation, but he never spent the night at their house. A lot of this information is in the thread about Lisa calling Prince a "fancy lesbian".

I don't think Prince and Lisa ever doinked.

Jill was a person described as "in and out" of Prince's life a lot. He was probably ditching Vanity around that time, and soon after met Susannah. If he wrote "The Beautiful Ones" in 1983, then he had to have been dating Susannah by that time, because the song is about her, not Vanity.
