appreciating Blue Limousine This is the best song on App-6 and Brenda does an excellent job with it! The best part is when they sing "but he'll be parking with a dent in the side if he stands me up tonight". Brenda sounds desperate singing this one like she was really being hurt ( but thats not true we know cause that Princeys' lighting director Mista Bennett was her husband). Some Kind Of Lover is another cut that she shines on. She isn't a Streisand etc but she can sing imo. The Blue Limo music is also jammin..sort of heavy metal synth. This was Brendas album..Prince gave her a lot to shine with. "Climb in my fur." | |

I love this song too. It was a lot of fun when that album came out! Just one Prince album out after the other with that signature 1999 like Purple Rain sound! Blue Limousine just has that cool Linn drum steady beat. And the it's long too! I love how it suddenly starts from Sex Shooter...it also does make you feel that little melancholiness of the girl waiting and waiting...you can just picture them in their lace looking out for her lover to come pick her up...kind of bitter sweet. I think Brenda was one of Prince's top woman singers. Her voice is sooo unique and cool. Wonder where she's at now. Some Kind of Lover was great too. It's a really organic song because of the acoustic drums and piano playing. Brenda's the first one on the left...for those newbies! ...

God, I miss both my Apollonia 6 and Vanity 6 CDs. At my absolute lowest point in life, I sold them both for obscene amounts of money. Obscene. I really needed the cash, but I miss those CDs alot.
Blue Limousine was one of my all time favorite. "7:32 and there's still no U..." | |

I totally agree with you. That's my favorite part too. ~KiKi | |

I always find this tune pretty bouncy. Has my head bobbin' when riding around. I always saw this one as the strongest track on the album. Sex Shooter just enjoyed more recognition because of it's place in PR. Brenda did a really good job on this. I am MrVictor.... | |

Who played drums on "Some Kind of Lover?" I would think that Prince did, but sometimes Sheila gets that same feel. [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]

I always liked Blue Limo
for many of the reasons mentioned. I also really like A Million Miles. "Hyperactive when I was small, Hyperactive now I'm grown, Hyperactive 'till I'm dead and gone"

No serious..she isnt classicly trianed etc but she has that deep husky growl type of voice. I likes. I bet she would have been cool to hang out with. "Climb in my fur." | |

I like the reworked version on Sheila E's Romance 1600 wrekka, "Toy Box". If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

blue limo is my jizzam. Brenda Bennet could've had a big solo career IMO, like Teena Marie...she was in that "white chicks who sing like black women" category. She has a very soulful voice. | |
