Yes I remember The Sculptor and Scientist. She wrote another called Give and take I believe...thanks for posting the link to the tumblr-I'll check that out.I'd forgotten the one about the proposal and hazel eyes. Did Andy see P come in the door? Funkenberry made it seem like she didn't see him until after her show. I think Prince was trying to get back with her then too and it seemed to work since Andy was at his L.A. show and sitting with him in VIP at Liv's show in March 2014. It is interesting how many of the recent women had fro's and they resembled Andy too.
Disregard post. thanks

Her poetry is really good, surprisingly deep for one so young. Given her songwriting, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I can't find the one about hazel eyes, though.
Clip of Andy's Africa Channel special that lead to Prince in 2011
[Edited 11/23/16 19:56pm]
I can see why Prince was drawn to her. I read the Africa Channel CEO's account of the night he introduced Andy to P. He didn't go into the backstory of how that evolved, but I wonder just how much of a coincidence it was that Andy was among the Africa Channel entourage attending the party at Prince's Bel Air mansion that fateful night. I think perhaps Prince saw her special and heard her say that she'd like to work with him, setting the wheels in motion. Just a thought. On a different note, IIRC, didn't Prince also meet Damaris through the Africa Channel?
Video of Andy Allo on vocals and Prince on keyboards performing "The Look of Love" in Denmark on August, 2011: https://vimeo.com/34307621
WOOOOOW. Great performance!! When she sang "The Look of Love" at the North Sea Jazz Festival in June 2011, during the second show, Prince stood across stage hugging himself, which I took to signify him hugging her metaphysically. And, I would be remiss if I did not add that P was looking decidedly handsome in this clip!! He was getting better with time. I had seen still shots of him with that outfit, with the black turban/do-rag, but nothing to prepare me for seeing him (and those biceps) in action. My, my, my...

It's really interesting to learn that Prince was trying to get back in, especially when he has a history of moving on and never looking back. I also agree about the Andy-esque women in his last years...but none of them were Ms. Andy. BTW: Thanks for the tumblr link.
Here's one of her poems from her tumblr: "Now." Pretty deep for a, then, 24-year-old...

Upon further reflection, I decided that the splendor of 52-year-old Prince demands a screen shot here.

Yes,I noticed him hugging himself as she sang that line too. I loved that! He looked so sweet as he listened to her finish the song with a tender smile,clapping when she was through.-And yes P was looking very nice that summer-didn't blame Andy a bit.

Thanks for posting the clip. There's a clip going around that was filmed the night he met Andy at the Forum-during his encore singing If I Was Your Girlfriend-he pulls a girl with a fro out of the crowd to dance with then after a few hip bumps,he asks "Are you married"? Pretty sure that was Andy.And she said in an interview with FunkU the first thing P asked her was "are you married"? So maybe he saw her in the audience first and was attracted to her before being introduced formally to her at his after party.There were rumors that he had his eye on her for awhile. And yes Prince met Damaris thru the Africa Channel too.She hosted a special about his concerts at The Forum and Prince said in the prank phone call she made to him during a radio interview in Australia that he "dcided to make her dreams of becoming a dancer come true".

He was!! You're right: Who could blame Andy? Like the writer said in The Guardian, in November 2015, P was just "almost unnecessarily handsome." And, he was looking...so...rugged in that black and white ensemble, with the do-rag and muscle shirt. Good Gawd (in my Prince/James Brown voice)!!!!

Thanks! I'd love to see that clip! He seemed to get a kick out of making dreams come true, especially for beautiful, talented women.

I know He had an amazing physique then and really all through 2013-he looked healthy and muscular during the European tour with 3rdeyegirl.He knew he looked good too.

And, based on Andy's poetry, still making love "like a scientist in a laboratory"!! Now, that's some tea, right there...

It was on YouTube until recently.I saw it last on the Twitter delirious4Prince-it may still be up,i'll check. Yes he did love to make dreams come true...and being beautiful and talented didn't hurt lol. If you haven't heard it you should try to track down Damaris's prank radio interview with him. It's really funny and his morning voice is something.

I've heard that call. Damaris was special to him too, but for some reason, I don't think they were intimate (even though he did mention "fantasies" in that call), but I think that was just P spinning that mystique of his. I think Damaris was like a little sister to him. And, yes, that morning voice of his should have been registered as a lethal weapon!! Whew! Prince was gifted in so many ways. LOL.
Delirious 4 Prince still has the clip up of him dancing with Andy-below it is a clip of him performing in Montréal 2011 wearing his Andy shirt.The Forum clip is titled When You Give Prince the Wrong Answer

I agree that Damaris was very special to him but more like a best friend/lil sister. They did not have the chemistry he and Andy did. Yes his voice will make ya weak in the knees

Thanks for the link. I've been checking out a lot of nice clips. I just saw the one with him dancing with the woman with the afro. It sure did look like Andy. I don't know what she said when he asked her if she was married, but he stopped dancing with her and told her to dance by herself. Knowing our Princey, he probably just wanted to watch her dance! LOL.

Yeah they have a lot of nice clips-love the one of him playing Blues guitar in March. Andy said that was the first thing he asked her so I'm thinking that's her.She kinda shook her head no-yep he probably wanted to watch her shake it.

So would some of his moves when he was younger....I won't say what Im thinking but am sure you all can figure it out. I, too would have been on him like white on rice
