 He didn't even know her until 1992, when they met in Germany on the Love Symbol tour, plus I think Insatiable was recorded in 1989 or 1990, if I recall correctly. I 100% agree with U Dave! I've always thought that too! If it breaks when it bends, U better not put it in! | |

If I recall correctly, the first time we were introduced to Mayte was her in the Gett Off maxi home video doing her belly dance thing on a video tape Prince was watching. Summer 1991. TRUE BLUE |

Martha is another way of him saying, "momma". "Love is like peeing in your pants, everyone sees it but only you feel its warmth" |

blueautumn said: Martha is a common feminine first name. It is mainly used in English, Scandinavian and Greek and has also been used in the Biblical context.
The name Martha is defined as the mistress of the house or the lady of the house in Aramaic. Martha was the name of the sister of Lazarus and Mary of Bethany in the New Testament. So, that being said. I think he was just more general with the name Martha then being personal.  | |

Like in Nothing Compares 2 U. "All the flowers that you planted Martha, in the backyard..." There she is again. Who is this damn Martha? 
Just somewhere in the middle,
Not too good and not too bad. |

Maybe Prince is a Dr. Who fan. Martha Jones is hot.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

Prince loved the Brady Bunch at this time and wanted to pay hommage to Marcia Brady.
He once said in an interview "Marcia Brady is amazing. One day I'm gonna put her in a song, yo better listen y'all". All hail Marcia Brady!!!!! | |

Marta Marrero, born May 18, 1969 and better known by her nickname/stage name, Martika. In 1991 (during the Diamonds and Pearls sessions) Martika was approached by Prince and became one of the “Prince Protégées”. The collaboration managed to score a U.S. Top 10 single, her second and last to date, with "Love... Thy Will Be Done". IT'S SO OBVIOUS! "I have so much love for Prince. But why don't they look at me that way"- MJ | |
