Dortmund concert, 1988 Always has confused me:
During Bob George, at the end during the phone segment, the phone rings, the "other side" picks up, and Prince says: "Hello? Is this George? This is Camille. How come we can't have a party? How come we can't dance?..." Now, why does he say "This is Camille," when all along the "Camille" persona has been feminine, and he's talking in the very deep Bob George voice? Check out The Mountains and the Sea, a Prince podcast by yours truly and my wife. More info at https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ |

It's called improvisation. It has no explanation, it just is. Free yo' mind and yo' ass will follow. | |

I think there has always been some confusion about what Camille represented all along.
The character was NEVER intended to be female. The Lovesexy tour book clearly uses the 'he' pronoun in relating Camille's story. Personally, I believe that Prince used the Camille moniker to represent ANY modulation of the voice tracks in his songs from that period. For example, Scarlet Pussy is attributed to Camille and yet Prince's voice throughout is slowed down. U Got The Look is attributed to Camille and yet the voice is sped up to sound even higher than on Housequake which is also attributed to Camille. Who knows what actually went on in his mind about it but the character was always a male. | |

Has Camille ever been attributed to a spiritual song? Its just his party (or pervy) persona, I guess. | |
