If you follow the links above (or below) and then to her website, you'll see that her first solo album, 'Sanctuary', on which these tracks would have appeared, never made it to release.

The subsequent two solo albums, 'Mack Diva Saves The World' and 'Gemini: Both Sides' were released.

Haha, Soul Sanctuary really doesnt bear much resemblence to Prince's version musically BUT the lyrics were pretty much borrowed!! There I was thinking P wrote those nice lyrics;)

If you highlight I'll Never Open My Legs Again...it says: "He thought the title was too blunt, didnt he write the song Head????!!!"

Made me laugh!

She was on a documentary a few years ago called Prince's Millions, she came across quite bitter (not sure if rightly or wrongly), blaming Prince for stealing Soul Sanctuary.

At the time, Sandra St Victor believed she was going to be collaborating with Prince on material. To start the process, she shared with him the songs she has written or co-written. It then emerged that Prince had worked on the material (significantly in some cases), but from Sandra St Victor's part, she had not been engaged further and was therefore surprised to see the final work, sometimes with incorrect credits. As I understand it, the record has now been set straight and the episode resolved.

The Song is beautiful no matter how it rose from the depths of creativity to be on Prince's "Emancipation."

Prince's voice is Angelic. cool
