Thank you for bringing this one back to this page, Lovejunky! This was a great find by pinkcashmere23. Prince also performed "Waiting in Vain" at his final Piano and a Microphone show at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta on April 14, 2016. Prior to his collaboration with AA on their historic acoustic album, Oui Can Luv, P had only performed the Bob Marley classic once, in 2000 at Paisley Park. Many see its inclusion in what would turn out to be his final set as a nod to the Cameroon-born beauty.

Prince and Andy's acoustic album, Oui Can Luv, is worth another listen here.

I have not seen much written about Prince and Andy Allo's beautiful acoustic duet of "Guitar." Beginning at about the 8:35 mark of this recording, the two can be heard practicing P's classic ode to his beloved first instrument, well second, after his divine voice. Hearing their playful exchanges (and P's soft conducting, including his gentle reprimand when she misses her frame) gives me chills every. single. time. And, his acoustics are nothing short of sublime.

I really enjoyed Andy demonstrating her process of song writing the other night. I think that was a great way to give and teach. She did it very well, keeping it simple for any age or level of understanding. Prince sure taught her well. I am really missing him today but also seeing on a much deeper level the incredibly giving human being he was. I will never get to have met him on this earth so I will never know like some others do what it was like to be in his presence, but I have some idea of what he was about. His protégés are examples of that. I am praying for them all right now. I believe most of them if not all, will do great in life!

Thank you, anangellooksdown. I concur. Andy is quite the songwriter. Even before she met Prince, she had written most, if not all, of the songs on her first (independent) album. No doubt, her time with Prince took her to the next level, in all areas of her musical artistry, not to mention business acumen.

..

And, speaking of her Facebook live stream Thursday night, for a brief moment, when she sang a snippet of her and P's magical ballad "Time," she seemed transported to another place and time, almost like she was remembering quiet moments spent with Prince. It was amazingly sensuous. I think she should definitely include "Time," (and "This is What It Feels Like") which she co-wrote with P, on her upcoming acoustic album. Here's the part she was singing:

Cuz ure so fine
When I get mine
Baby u can too

This is a great shot of some of the members of the NPG. Prince reportedly announced that his luggage was lost and he was wearing Andy's clothes during this interview in Paris.

(Thanks pinkcashmere23!!)

Andy is now wearing that matching shirt and hat in her very somber cover photo on her Facebook.

Great find, Lovejunky! Thanks. It does seem that Ms. Andy is starting to crack down on the proliferation of her performance videos on the web. I guess Prince taught her well. Hopefully, this is a sign that their acoustic album will soon be released.

Have you seen Nik West perform a cover of Andy Allo's "People Pleaser"? It's pretty cool.

YES....

Im a FAN...she is definately a Rainbow Funkstar, with her own Flava..

not just a Purple Xerox

Both of them have actually LEARNED and assimilated WELL from the School of PRinCe

I like to think that he trained a whole lot of Nurses to Help us get by after HE had to go....

My pleasure! I have not seen her look this happy since P's passing. For a brief moment, when she was singing "Yellow Gold" and her and P's magical ballad "Time," she seemed transported to another place and time, almost like she was remembering quiet moments spent with Prince when she sang, "Cuz u're so fine, when I get mine, Baby, u can, too." During "Yellow Gold," she crooned, "feels so right, it can't be wrong." It was amazingly sensuous. I think she should definitely include "Time," (and "This is What It Feels Like") which she co-wrote with P, on her upcoming acoustic album.

Lastly, luxegolightly, there is a reason they call Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and other such websites, "social media." It's because it is a form of media. And, these days it can be more reliable than the traditional news media because it is information that people willingly self-broadcast. Don't hate me because I'm pretty good at research. And, more importantly, don't hate Andy because Prince loved her.

until i read the scientist poem i didn't believe they were an item- since then i do. the issue i take with this thread is that u and others are trying to make this 2yrs thing(which is typical of his MO) into a lifetime love affair when there is nothing to suggest that it was. as i said in one of my first posts- u think andy was an exception, i don't. it's both creepy and strange how you have labored to make their thing something it wasn't and seemingly for ur own satifaction. very concerned with the view count i've noticed. and yet u call other people trolls.

--

just like the melodrama of you last sentence(the bolded part) nobody said anything about hate except u. such hyberbole could only come from an overinvested fangurl. and it's that kind of writing that has taken up so much space on this thread NOT pics(which i requested) and lyrics which is what OF4S recommended. ur the one that keeps derailing the thread with ur own assumptions/fantasy of what happened btween these two people.

--

re that scientst poem: u seem to overlook those words which make clear that they were fucking and that he then did his usual and split to find someone else. funny how u skip right over that kinda language from her own mouth! but go on and keep thinking they were still mooning and swooning each other until the end. keep over looking his pattern of behavoir for 30yrs and how his relationship with AA fits into it perfectly. but ur in good company with ur fanfic weirdness. hell, robin is over on another thread saying that prince told her that vanity was not his main girl- susan was. still, there are countless people on this board and others who swear that vanity was his forever love just like u and ur andy bullshit.

---

i would like to repeat my request for more pics and lyrics and ask that u keep ur clap-trap to the minimum!

Interesting because in DMSR what Nilsen wrote was that yes while Prince was involved with Vanity (as well as other's), what he had with Susan Moonsie was more of an actual relationship. So I was always intrigued why people felt Vanity was the "love of his life". From what was written he continued to see both of them and it was more Susan who stepped away, quietly and without drama, when he chose to be involved with other women. Anyway in keeping with the topic, I scanned to the end just because I was curious to see if the same 2-3 werre the main contributors to this thread.

Yours is an interesting theory, but, having not researched those early relationships, I cannot speak to them. It would probably make for an interesting thread all its own.

..

I did, however, listen to a nice interview with Brenda Bennett in which she tells the story of when she and Susan went, without tickets, to a Prince concert in Boston. The year that this happened is not stated. She gives interesting insight into the head-of-state-like security detail that surrounded P, as well as the layers ("like an onion") that one had to penetrate to get anywhere near Prince, the rock n roll "GOD."

..

None of them had seen each other in many, many years. Prince saw Brenda first, not realizing that Susan was waiting in the wings. Apparently, P almost passed out when he saw Susan. It sounds like a nice reunion, but she didn't go into much detail about Susan and Prince's interactions; however, it was so endearing to hear how Prince arranged for them to also come back to his show the next night, just so Brenda could bring her young son to meet (and spend time with P).

..

Lastly, I did read/hear another interview that leads me to believe that P did have a relationship with Susan, but I can't remember the source. Maybe it was the Jill Jones interview when she tells about all of them seeing each other again on the occasion of Denise's funeral in the Bay Area. At any rate, the interview with Brenda is still on YouTube. I would post it here, but I don't want to derail this thread any further. Thanks.

Andy Allo Talks Songwriti...and Prince

This article has several video tutorials with Andy, all of which are very informative. She talks "Nothing More," "Yellow Gold," and others, but my favorite is the "People Pleaser" short, when she tells about the time she played the original acoustic iteration of the banger for Prince. As she tells it, within the blink of an eye, the two them were having a full-on jam session there in a hotel room. Of course, P later added the horns and rhythms, and as AA says, it became this great funk song... (Thanks, pinkcashmere23)

Play-Alike Andy Allo - Guitar Workshop

Whoever has been pursuing the work of Prince lately will surely also have met the name Andy Allo. Already on the 2011 tour with his band, the New Power Generation, the then 22-year-old singer was on board, shone in solo spots and performed some of her songs. The driving force behind all this was Prince, who also made them take on these titles with his - and the energetic support of the "New Power Generation". The result is a colorful mixture, sometimes in the acoustic guise, then again very funky, and of course marked by the manuscript of the master.

..

Recently, Andy Allo made station in Hamburg and we had the opportunity to talk with her singer and guitarist about her songs, her songwriting and her guitars. In her video workshop she presents three of her titles in detail and shows how they developed from the first idea to the finished album track. Read More

Andy says that this song is about falling in love. It's that moment when you realize that this is it. There can be "Nothing More."

It seems that Robin Power agrees with you about Susan Moonsie in the associated artist forum...4 for Robin Power

I wonder: Who is the Superconductor about whom AA waxes poetic? Hmmm...

Did she write this about Prince?

It is my belief that the entire Superconductor album is about Prince. And, I agree, 206Michelle, Prince was still fine as wine and vibrant during the main years of their collaboration.
