Lushus Daim & The Pretty Vain



Anyone remember this little concoction from Motown? Attempting to cash in on the burgeoning Minneapolis Funk sound made popular by the Purple One himself, 1985 saw the release of Prince and Vanity's lovechild, with the assistance of her backing band The Pretty Vain, "More Than You Can Handle" album. The title cut was released as a mildly successful single, and soon after, they faded into 80's obscurity.

Additional information is scarce, but their album can be purchased from e-bay and other online retailers at a cheap prince. There's some good workout-funk tracks like "Flex" and "Pretty Poison," a listenable ballad in "For You" and the mandatory 80's era jam with "Attention Addict."

A few weeks ago,I was gonna do a thread about Lushus Daim!! lol I went to YouTube,trying to find the video for her song "The One You Love" but it wasn't there,so I didn't do the thread.

Anyway...I had a crush on her back then razz I would read articles on her in Right On! and Black Beat magazines,and put her pictures on my wall.She was sexy as hell.

Who remembers the single "The One You Love"? music A nice,little midtempo jam from the album 'More Than You Can Handle'.
