Brenda's vocals on 'if a girl answers' is the greatest of all time, LOVE her voice. and Vanity's wasn't bad either. May Prince and Vanity Rest in Gods love
Sounded like Morris but I believe that was actually 'Prince' he did a great 'Morrislike' voice, have you heard the out take from 'Crystal Ball' 'Cloreen Bacon Skin' amazing song, just Prince and Morris day (on drums) jamming, prince talks like that through the hold thing.
I don't know if you all remember the song called Tricky it was on the flip side of one of The Time's singles I can't remember which one. Prince talked like that on that record too
This is so amazing!! I am the biggest Vanity & Apollonia 6 fan in the world. I was the only 12 yr old girl in the world that wanted to be Susan Moonsie when I grew up. In 7th grade I put together my own version of the group (my best friend was a tall, white, blonde who happened to look very much like Brenda) and we did Blue Limousine in our CATHOLIC school talent show. We didn't wear lingerie, of course, but I styled us so cute...I even had a teddy bear. Great memories!! Please pass my condolences on to Brenda and anyone else in The Purple Ones camp!! I'm so sad but this story means so much. I'm so glad that they had an opportunity to reunite with Prince before he left us!! God bless you all...and "May U live 2C the Dawn!" #Prince4Ever
What an incredible interview. I have been wondering what happened to Brenda and Susan for so many years. I too was a big fan of Prince and Vanity 6. I will be mourning this year's losses of Vanity and Prince for a long time. I am glad that Brenda and Susan are still with us on this earth though.
Oh man ! Prince just man with style and very generous to look out for his dear old friends from back in the day. But of course you wouldn't expect anything less from a man with style and class. A true gentleman !!!
None Ya Prince paid off all of Denise's (Vanity) debts/hospital bills. When she passed, he was told right before he went on stage and it was reported he was very sad. He went on stage and talked about her and I love his quote when he said they really loved each other and she knew she was the finest woman in the world and never missed an opportunity to tell you so. Lol. Prince had a lot of beautiful women but vanity is the only one that could ever give him a run for his money and he knew it in fact he named her vanity because he thought that she was equally if not more beautiful than himself. It's still Erie to me that they die within two and a half months of each other in the same year. The night she passed Tavis Smiley said they were on the rooftop of the hotel I guess a rooftop garden after the concert and he was a very reflective speaking about his own mortality. Only Prince could have a girlfriend and an ex-girlfriend in the same group and three women he's been with in the same movie maybe for if Apollonia was one of them because for years she said there was nothing between him but after he died she laid it to them being friends with benefits for a while. Still don't care for Apollonia because although she went to Vanity's funeral to her death she made fun of her when she talked about vanity saying she found the Lord Apollonia brought up her past drug use to make fun of her and her response about the lLord was I didn't know he was lost haha she's truly and ignorant ass person and I wonder if she ever made fun of Prince for his serious religious beliefs the bottom line is they were both saved and they are both resting peacefully in heaven I wonder if she will
This is a Great podcast,👍👍,the love was there between Prince 💕💕and all those that were part of his career..Brenda Bennett sounds and looks wonderful ❤️👍👍
Omg I wanted to be vanity! I still think she was one of the most stunning women. I loved vanity 6. Hottest sexiest girl group of that time as far as sexy appeal and their gimmick was on point
When I was in high school me and 2 friends were going to do Vanity 6 in the talent show. Only issue they would not let us wear. LINGERIE😊..I was a huge fan.
What a cool story by Brenda on Prince . You can tell he loved kids and cared about her kid knowing all the music greats . I had a crush on all the women in Vanity 6 too , loved them .
Thanks for posting this. I got to see Vanity 6 perform in Detroit dduring the 1999 tour.....an amazing show. The ladies of V6 were really underrated. They had such a huge influence on those of us who were teens back then. There album was dope.
Good for you! I saw V6 perform @ Radio City Music Hall (NYC) during the 1999 Tour. Still have my 1999 tour t-shirt. I TOTALLY wish I had purchased a V6 tee.
The Org brought me here :) I love how Brenda's talking voice is still so similar to her rapping/singing voice.Instantly reminded me of her rapping on "If a girl answers".
Oh yeah...Susan was a hot thang! *She was actually Prince's high school girlfriend and early on...and was suppose to play Apollonia's part in Purple Rain!
@@gclark8228 I don't know where you got that info about Susan playing Vanity's part in Purple Rain.. it was ALWAYS Vanity. But when she quit, Prince found Apollonia to replace her..
Brenda... I had the pleasure of seeing you live in Ann Arbor Michigan in 1981 or 82.?? Prince, The Time and Vanity 6.... It was amazing... The giant fishnet hanging behind the three of you.. Susan had a teddy bear.. I saved and paid my brother-in-law to drive my friend and I 60 miles to see you..we were the two Caucasian guys there..lol.. True story
I was a close friend of Susan living in LA at the time. I lost track of her when I moved back to Italy. I have tried to find her for years and if she ever gets this message.... Emilio :)
I love this interview! I also love the original Vanity 6 lineup before Apollonia. Denise could NEVER be replaced as Ms. Vanity, so that was just a poor decision that was made at that time. Anyway, I really adore Brenda's vocals on “A Million Miles” and “Blue Limousine.” Again, interesting and entertaining interview!
The change was made for the movie cause Vanity had left the group and broke up with Prince. Appollonia never once try to say or act like she was replacing Vanity
Why ya keep making comparisons and competition between these two ladies i bet they were cool with one another but you fans are on some other bs when half or most of ya wasnt even born then when it all was going down smh
It just came out that Prince gave Brenda and Susan 15k each a few days before he died. Apollonia too but she thought is was fake and didn't her bank info
Great interview! 2016 was a SAD year for music lovers. Glad much of the purple camp is keeping Prince's legacy alive. Good to know many of his proteges seem to get along with each other even if they reunited under tragic circumstances.
at the beginning of the video I first thought it was The Voice from the woman's radio show but then I realized it was Brenda talking. talk about a fabulous radio speaking voice she should really consider taking that up as a career.
So Susan DOES has kids! A boy and a girl! Wonder what they look like? The stuff about Brenda's son was cool too. Overall great story. Wish too to have heard more about Susan and Prince though.
Wow, yet another cool interview from the great Minneapolis past. Even better to hear all the love that was shown on all sides given the long time that had past. Great to hear Brenda and Susan remained close even though they were worlds away.

I believe prince still had a special place in his heart for Susan up until the day he died
I am sure for them all. However, it was Vanity!

My sister still has her 1999 shirt. I wish she would let me borrow it, but I know she won't. LOL. At least I have my memories.
Beautiful moment.....and glad that Prince still treated everyone with respect and just great class that's why he is my favorite artist period
Million Miles is one of my favorite Prince Camp songs. Her voice is haunting in that
I love hearing stories about prince. Ty
She looks good. Love them all! RIP DENISE AKA VANITY
I was so happy to hear what Brenda and Susan were up to these days. This interview was great. Her voice is amazing!
I miss these girls so much....RIP Vanity 💜
ImLOVE U PRINCE FOREVER and that's a mighty long time I have tears n my eyes
I'm glad they are friends ..Good for brenda and Susan..
this is why we all still love and miss him and those days
I would have preferred to hear more about Prince and Susan when they met up again.
Even when she talks Brenda's voice is full ASMR to me (diction and tonality)..

Love Brenda's vocals on "Some Kinda Lover" on Apollonia 6
And on Blue Limousine!!! Apollonia 6 songs were better than Vanity 6 songs.
No they weren't ! Vanity was a better performer, but Apollonia was good.
I liked the Apollonia 6 album better for some reason...
While Vanity had her own thing, Brenda was the best singer/performer of the four. Her vocals, timing, boldness...she was the "glue" of the trio.
I thought Susanne Melvoin sung that.
brenda and susan god bless you and may yiu continue to live happy lives.
OMG!!!! I can't believe this is happening. Thanks you so much for this.

he never played Harborlights, bank of america pavilion-now Rockland Trust Bank Pavillion. he played the Worcester Centrum and The Boston Garden.
Vanity 6 were trailblazers and head of there time....Madonna and many others copy something from V6
Love this interview. I wonder if Prince was nervous when seeing Susan Moonsie again?
What an amazing voice. Huge fan back in day.
I'm from Trinidad. I wonder if I would ever recognise Susan Moonsie if she crossed my path
"Wet Dream" in their concert (might still be here on RUclips) is flat-out awesome!

Would love to have a video talk appearance it will be a pleasure to hear from Susan
Why does everyone turn these videos into Vanity vs Apollonia contests?

No competition. Vanity was a unusual beauty. There are many Apollonia's.
