Prince - Official Podcast: The Story of Diamonds And Pearls - Episode 3 out now! (26 October) This one covers the story of Rosie Gaines, including some of her struggles after Prince, and where she's at now. Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking. |

It was good to hear Rosie’s voice once more, and to hear she’s gotten over the worst of her health issues. Interesting to hear about her early career too… didn’t know a lot of that. It does come across that she feels unfulfilled overall though, I agree. However there’s a lot of love for her in the podcast and she clearly wanted to be out of the limelight in later life. And that’s fair enough. T |

If you haven't already, I highly recommend the epsiodes released in support of the Purple Rain SDE. Not my favorite Prince era but there was some great stuff on there with The Revolution. Andrea does a fantastic job putting these together. Very well produced, imo... and yes, LOVED the flowers for Rosie! |

All the talk on this episode of an unreleased album, it would be great if the Estate/Warner would consider it for a Record Store Day release, or something like that. I’m sure the fans would buy it, and Rosie might finally feel she got what she wanted 30 years ago! |

Yeah it was touching hearing her talk, that moment got me too. I got the impression there was a lot of love between her and Prince. Her daughter comes off as a truly lovely person. |

I distinctly remember reading that Prince had bought Rosie a home when she was "on the streets" but she refused to live in it. Welcome to "the org", laytonian… come bathe with me. |

Rosie is one of the greatest female artists that Prince ever worked with.Her vocals elevated these songs.She really deserved more success and recognition in her career. | |
