[@greenboxmedia6291]

Susan Moonsie possibly...🤔

[@jlee3499]

Green Box Media your right lol I never thought of her i guess cuz she wasn’t as famous as vanity

[@_CaliGirl]

I loved her as much as I loved myself back then. She was the most beautiful person I had ever seen. I remember being 15 and seeing the Jet magazine layout of Vanity6 in back of the Limo. I starred at it for hours. She was so gorgeous and free. No1 hated her, no1 ever said a bad thing about her. She was Vanity. There'll never be another. I chatted with her a bit last year and she gave me her ph#. I haven't called yet. I mean, what do you say to Vanity? LOL. I just love her so much!

[@ausaranuk8142]

Because the music companies at that time loved creativity and allowed artists to create original content and create new lanes. I am so happy I was born in 1964 because I caught all the beautiful music and it was inspiring for real.

[@revlaird6979]

correction the most beautifulest woman commits of the 1900s into the modern 1920s would be Lena Horne is Lena Horne above all women second runner-up would be Dorothy Dandridge so miss Angelina Benjamin do your research you'll see the most beautiful as woman that was in entertainment that lived well into her nineties was Lena Horne that's the set standard of beauty this is what Caucasians judge us by when they look for a black woman definitely that's not an ain't your mama type I can tell you that

THE ULTIMATE JAM.... ♥ I remember we use to jam this and Lady Cab Driver... heavy rotation by Prince and the duet with Vanity and Morris. Rest In Peace Denise AKA Vanity

[@Mikeevansrealestate]

i just realized both records have similar bass lines

BEST VANITY SONG TO ME EVER!!!!!!!

i grew up listening to her and still in disbelief

[@Darrick.DamitaJoBoy]

Man, this song takes me back to when I was a kid. Such an underrated song.

[@josephvalley6654]

So the french rap was about Prince since he said she was the female image of him

Image-wise maybe, definite talent wise..

[@sharakanelson6965]

Exactly

[@candicebell6666]

I still love this joint!!! Jelly Bean still killin it on the high hat!

[@1Danguard]

The thing I like about this song is the drums. Jellybean Johnson was on point. I don't how he does it but man, he's ths king in my book.

[@101NeVaEh]

I'm sorry. Anyone listening to this and still doubting Vanity's vocal ability is deaf and needs to do some homework. She is climbing up and down friggin JAZZ scales with ease.

This was the jam! Romantic Voyage was another nice cut

[@iscleslie]

Yes!!! Love Romantic Voyage as well

[@JBinOtown]

So many unbelievably good 80's tracks hidden but now get new life on youtube

[@MrCcoolg]

As far as the French spoken part, she talks about how she adores & loves her mirror or something to that effect. Been since 1970 HS that I tried to speak it! Yes SISTER Denise's song is a cult classic but it was that before she died because she gave herself to God. Let's all honor her memory as the evangelist by loving each other and trying to do right by each other. Thanks for posting.

[@QuackersAhoy]

I never even knew this duet existed until I found a copy of the 12'' in a dingy record shop a few years back. It's a jam. So sad she's passed away, she had such a lovely voice.

[@MadchenLear]

unforgettable legend. rip bby

[@vanity5839]

love this song . u r missed vanity rip

[@chaliceofchange]

Vanity plays to her strengths and speaks French with Morris Day for a fine duet of style, sardonic with, playful banter. She moans and wriggles with perfection and vocalizes with attitude. This is her forte. One of favorite tracks. Lil Kim should learned from her.

[@bambibam5702]

Couldn't have said it any better!

[@jimmyferris]

I don’t know how I’d forgotten this one! Still jamming

Her music was quintessential 80s.

Morris Day also played drums on this track. He a very accomplished drummer.

[@brucegleason291]

I loved this song back then and it still kicks ass. Vanity was absolutely beautiful. In an era when so much music sounded the same she came from no where with Nasty Girl and never turned back. She along with Teena Marie really changed music. They added the umph and funk and we fell in love. I miss them both.

[@melaniedutrisac1375]

she is an exception and a beauty that the world never will forget and is my vanity forever

[@Diamondgirl95]

This is my favorite Vanity song. It shows all those haters out there that she really can sing.

@ScienceProjek Her vocals were on point for the project... she is amazing. Not the average singer, no... but she had far more talent than Apolonia. Check out Vanity singing Sexshooter from Purple Rain! It took the song to another level it was funky and smart... and nasty. Look it up...

The only Prince-related artist whose best song was not a Prince production. Go Figure?

[@davidanderson-ec2eh]

What about fishnet, Morris Day?

[@vitaboy64]

"Fishnet" was a good song even if the Album was a flop. However, the work he did with "The Time" was much better. "Get It Up", "Gigolo Get Lonely Too", and "The Walk" are classics. Still his first solo release was one cassette I played from side to side. Song included "Oak Tree", "The Character", and the very underated "Don't Wait For Me".

[@davidanderson-ec2eh]

I love this song , one of my favorites, but I don't put this above Nasty Girls, but this is just my opinion
