Built like she was
She had the nerve 2 ask me
If I planned 2 do her any harm

So, look here
I put her on the back of my bike
And-a we went riding
Down by old man johnsons farm

I said now, overcast days never turned me on
But something about the clouds and her mixed

She wasn't 2 bright
But I could tell when she kissed me
She knew how 2 get her kicks

It's a visually overwhelming video, one of those you had to rewind over and over to catch stuff

I never get tired of that video, Prince had the touch on this one

Nominations:

- Best Urban Contemporary Video: 4th American Video Awards (20 November

1985).

- Best Performance by a duo or group: 4th American Video Awards (20 November 1985).

Has anyone seen Prince wear this outfit outside of the video? I saw it hanging up at Paisley Park and I was shocked how faded the legs (knees down) looked. It looked like its been worn 100 times.

That is incorrect. The dancer's name is Kimberly Ann Delfin, a breakdancer known as Popsicle, who appeared in various TV shows in that era. Sadly, she's no longer with us. Search her name and Raspberry Beret and see what you find.

By the way, love all the dedicated topics you do, OF4S. Always appreciated.

Delfin, Kimberly Ann, a Huntington Beach resident, died Monday after an 11 year battle with ovarian cancer. She was 47. Earlier, Delfin pursued a career as a professional dancer and actor. Nicknamed "Popsicle", she danced on "FAME", "Merv Griffin", and several other TV shows and commercials. The break dancer was even featured in Prince's music video for "Raspberry Beret", which won an award for best choreography. Specializing in pop and lock-style dancing, Delfin was responsible for popularizing several moves such as her signature "tut-toes". Her most notable acting performances included roles in "Pretty Smart", "Hunter" and "Who's the Boss", She was especially passionate about giving back to the community. In 2010, Delfin awarded a thousand dollar performing arts scholarship to an aspiring dancer from Huntington Beach High School. She is survived by her daughter, Misha Delfin; her mother, Dina Velarde; her father, Emmanuel Delfin; her siblings, Gina Lachowicz, Roy Celestino, Valarie Delfin, Anthony Delfin, Dwight Velarde, Michelle Velarde and Teresa Velarde. www.dildaybrothers.com
