Could Dez Dickerson pulled off playing Wendy's role in Purple Rain?

How do U think the movie would have been if Dez never left the band and was in his role as guitarist of the Revolution? I think U would have seen a cool bond between Prince and Dez especially going up against Morris and
Jerome. I bet there would have had a better fight scene than the one that was deleted!! Purple Rain would have had a truly different twist and flavor if Dez was there. What do U think?

Dez&Prince were cool&you knew the Respect was there.but Wendy&the Rest of the Revolution had that Cold Vibe that not only worked with the Sound at the time but also the Attitude.all things in that regard fit the script well.

Hell yeah it'd be different--and way different if Vanity was still there as well. It would have been another Mahogony, Lady Sings.., Car Wash etc for some folks, another Wiz, a pre Color Purple etc. Probably more gritty and less accessable.

Yeah that would've just sucked if we hadn't seen that classic(cheese lol) performance by Dez and the Modernaires.

But who would Lisa be "sexually ambigious(sp?)" with?



Plus without Wendy there would've been no "the beautiful ones"


But yeah, Dez could've pulled off her role

It would have been an implied sexual relationship between Dez and Billy Sparks, so no, I really don't think it would have been an improvement.

I think that's implied anyway, how else could the lame Modernaires be assured billing while The Revolution battle for a place? biggrin

Dez would have been better than Wendy in most every way: acting and playing. Overrated Wendy was a slug in the film and extremely unlikable
