Songs & the woman he sang about

Hi Orgers, I tried to find this and there are bits and pieces but not a thread on the songs and which woman (or women) it was about. For instance

Pink Cashmere (fallen in love with this lately!) was about Anna Garcia I think.

What else?

I Hate U- Carmen Electra (the rumor back then was that she had sex with Tony M)

The Most Beautiful Girl in the World- allegedly for Vanessa Marcil, OR Mayte Garcia, OR Carmen Electra ...nobody seems to be 100% certain

.

What IS certain is that all love songs on Emancipation are about Mayte Garcia.

.

She Loves Me 4 Me- Manuela Testolini

.

She ´s Always In My Hair- Jill Jones

.

The Morning Papers- Mayte

There are so many more but I´m busy right now....I´ll probably add some more later.

Yes. Use the search function on this site or Google it. So much history on that one.

Vicki Waiting and Lemon Crush were written for Anna Garcia as well from what I've read. Forever In My Life was for Susannah.

Well we know that for sure about "Waiting" because a news report with Anna had her playing a snippet of "Anna Waiting". It was just posted a week or so ago. If you search, you can find the clip probably. Very cool.

He did post a pic of her and him from the PR area when he talked about it. And she was at a show (at Paisley?) when he performed it. She mentioned that performance recently, it seems. I remember being so surprised they had maintained a friendship over time. I always had the impression she was there to act, and that was it. She was married and went back to her life in acting, w/ her hubby, etc. Her and Carmen Electra being neighbors was funny, too. (Literally next door, in a duplex in Los Angeles - MTV Cribs episode, look it up.)

I don't think they were ever romantic and they hadn't stayed in touch that I know of. Appolonia went to MN for work and Prince invited her to PP late at night after her event and hosted her there and played that song and others with 3rdeyegirl for her then gave her the song TCBU. I am not at all under the impression he wrote it for her; I believe it was written for someone he was crushing on at the time.

I think RnR Love Affair was written for Andy (just watch the video) - but are you sure Another Love was? Another Love was written by Alice Smith, a younger black singer/songwriter. Prince changed it a lot but I'm not sure if he had anyone in mind when he wrote it...might've. Any proof?

I usually refer to princevault.com and do other research when I'm trying to figure this stuff out

He added a line about having the same hairstyle, hence the Andy Allo speculations.

Yes, that's right. Could be. I'm still not sure though.

i always thought that the love songs on his first 2 albums were about his relationship with kim upsher since she was his main girlfriend until about 1980. after that he started the merry-go-round of girlfriends and fu*kbuddies so it's difficult to get a clear anwser.

Lol, and I agree! He did have alot of women for sure, so who knows who these songs were REALLY written for. Seems like more speculation that actual confirmation. Would've been cool if Prince would say for sure, but that was the mystery in him. Loved to keep us guessing.

"Wonderful Ass" Vanity

"Peach" Kim Bassinger

"I Wanna Be Your Lover" Patrice Rushen

"Dinner With Delores" Madonna?? lol I know I heard a rumor on here about that one but also people said he was talking aobut Warner Brothers metaphorically. I don't really know. But I think it's funny that line about her eating Like a Brontosaurus
She was packin' it in
The first night we dined
And by the next time
This girl was eatin' all but the tip. I *wish* it was about Madonna


Have U had your + today?

I've been wondering lately if his relationship with Kim basinger wasn't more serious than I previously thought.
He does say "I love you, and more than that I want you" in Scandalous.

I think he fell in love very easily and very fast. The trick was staying in love.
