Give back the chains... (who is the female voice?!) I think it would have to be Carmen Electra. It sounds like her to me. There is no credit at princevault. I know it could also be Mayte. I've wondered this for years. | |

I’d say Mayte | |

Probably right. I'll try asking on Twitter and report if she answers. | |

album. The 'Give back the chains' line is part of the overall drama / story that is woven throughout the album. I can assure you that it's Mayte's line.I have seen the movie and have the outtakes but it has been a long time since I revisited either! I hope they will put 3 Chains on a deluxe Love Symbol. Thanks for your answer. Unusual it isn't on princevault! | |

Thanks! Yes, I have seen it, many times. I was way too young to be purchasing it too. My local record store overlooked the warning label. I still don't recall Mayte reciting those lines. A good excuse to revisit. | |

It's Mayte...obviously! Some of you need your ears cleaned! rdhull?!? Nothing like Rosie's voice!!! Even logically you can work it out as Mayte is the main star of the film and song.

[Edited 9/27/19 0:34am] Actually, it’s Chaka. "Climb in my fur." | |

. Actually, I have it on good authority that it's Sheena Easton doing a very convincing Chaka Khan impression. The reason she's not credited is because Warner Bros were worried that the public would find it a bit racist. | |

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

You guys are nuts! Too much time on your hands and not enough intellect to go with it. [Edited 9/28/19 6:28am] | |

“I've got 3 chains o' gold And they will shine forever If one of us has to go You will go before me...bitch!!” Okay, I added that last part  * Guess we’ll never know what those “3 chains” represented  | |

I'm going to go with Mayte. Funny, I've been listening to that song lately. The album, sad to say,has not aged well. The first time I heard it, I thought, "Wow! What a convoluted disappointment- but much better than D & P. "

It's definitely Mayte, because she's actually speaking the words in the ridiculous 3 Chains O' Gold video. * I wasn't listening during this period, but I actually really like the song 3 Chains O' Gold now. I love how it starts with the softer piano and lyirc and then builds into the big sound. Prince's version of Bohemian Rhapsody I guess * If I don't think about the fact that she left me | |
