The Marquee for anyone who was at the Marquee (or has the boot)
Who's the girl singing on 'the work'? How cool was it to hear 'automatic' and snippet of 'tambourine' ? | |

I was there...WHOEHOE!
The girl singing on The Work, was a girl who Prince selected from the audience. Ofcourse it was no coïncidence that he picked a girl that happened to sing so good. Rumour has it (I wasn't there), that she had also sang during the oct 3 or 4 soundcheck when they were having a karaoke-like contest. So, during the aftershow, Prince sees her and remembers her great voice, so she's allowed on stage again. She sings and Prince dances in front of her. Dirty style... She could have been Mavis Staples daughter... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Whoever she was she was American and from Detroit- at least she kept singing that 'Detroit was in the house'.
Didn't soud like a Staples singer to me, but very good! | |

yes i was there as well,
she had a good voice I'll give her that. But she surely bugged the hell out of me with her Detroit in the house shit!! She should remember that she was in the U.K. "Time is a train, makes the future the past" | |

Looked like she didn't know/remember the lyrics to The Work, so she did something she thought would fit. It did... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was a very cool night. Short but very funky.
Automatic, Tambourine and Sexy Dancer were all very cool, but my personal highlight was Sign 'O' Times, that was just blisteringly tight and funky. The bass-line on that was just out there somewhere. His guitar playing on Dolphin was also phenomenal. Ahhh ... the memories! | |

People were screaming their harts out to raise the energy level higher and higher, just to impress Prince.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She could have been Mavis Staples daughter... She sang at the Friday 4 October soundcheck. She had an awesome voice (a bit Bonni Boyer). She did herself proud at the Marquee - I was in the front row only about 4 feet away from them, he he he, cool! 'I loved him then, I love him now and will love him eternally. He's with our son now.' Mayte 21st April 2016 = the saddest quote I have ever read! RIP Prince and thanks for everything. | |
