The first time I seen this woman was on the last dragon I fell in love at first sight. She just has something special about her self. To bad she didn’t have anyone to protect her from this cold world.
Vanity was the girl back then. I use to hear guys debating who was the best between Vanity and Appolonia...and majority of them picked Vanity! Majority of them said Vanity had more sex appeal.
I think she was smart to part ways with Prince!! She was a beautiful spirit and soul. I like that she changed her life and became an Evangelist! Rest her soul in paradise!
I thought I have seen every video or live performance that she ever did, but I have never seen this one before. I didn't even think that she would even perform this song as a solo artist. Well done V.
She lipsynced every live performance. This one included. It was the exact track and you could even hear Brenda's part, but Vanity lip synced it 2...I LOVE her and she was a fabulous entertainer, but live singing skills, not so much...
Vanity was born on January 4, 1959 as Denise Katrina Matthews in Niagara Falls, Ontario, the daughter of Helga Senyk and Levia James Matthews. Her mother was of German, Jewish, and Polish descent, and was born in Germany, while her father was of African-American descent and was born in Wilmington, North Carolina...she considered herself to be black.
+van chi why both beautiful and on drugs..but vanity atleast went to god..and marylin had a nose job..and died hair..vanity was all pure natural pretty
I never knew she performed it solo wow! I definitely feel like Denise meant alot to Prince. I mean by this time period she been stopped working with him. It's lovely that he let her perform it. Her charisma and style was so unique. Rest In Paradise Denise and Prince 💕
You can tell she was visibly and extremely coked up high in this performance you can see it in her eyes,I've never seen this footage of her before. I loved Vanity back in the day even saw her in concert "Vanity 6" when she was actively in the spotlight in the 80's. I have all of her albums still but don't play them any longer out of respect for who she became as a child of God and l am so happy she gave her life over to Christ and left this earth with her soul saved, to God be the glory because He saves us when we most need it in our lives if we but only listen to His call to His safety. Sleep in peace my beautiful sister in Christ Denise Matthews until God the Father Almighty calls your name from the grave to awaken in beautiful eternity forever more l look forward to seeing you amongst all of the saints in heaven.
bitch please ...than say she was a mixed black woman. dont just say black! fuck you, i never said Mix was a RACE you idiot. i stated the simple fact that she was more than just black. fuck off!
I was just thinking the same thing. He wasn't very keen about people using the names he gave them and doing the music he wrote after they parted ways. Well I guess he really did love her!!
Wrong. People are into Vanity for the music and into Denise Matthews as for role model yess she became born again Christian but you gotta understand that many of Prince fans knows her by Vanity. If people asks who’s your favorite female artist and we say “Denise Matthews” they not gonna know who it is but if we say “Vanity” people will immediately know who we talking about. To many of Prince fans she is and will always be Vanity

True very true
She herself said she was thrown out and away by her mom at 4 years old.

I never claimed that dumb bitch, why you so bothered tho!?! lol
In this italian show also Jill Jones and Apollonia performed.
Rip babygirl
Prince always projected in female counterparts. Vanity and Wendy were the best always.
Vanity was sexy and cool
I love the look she gave the hecklers when she messed up the lip sync at 3:37. Would love to know what was going thru her mind.
Right
That's what I was thinking
💖🌹🎶🎶💖🌹💖💋🎤
🔥🐍
Would have loved to see her & Shelia on stage together. Trust & believe it would be otherworldly lusciousness 💞😮💖
🌷Peace to the Goddess 🕊
Lol the wolf whistles before the 7 inches or more line 😆

she was so awesome could write cool lyrics check out samuelle and she was a trained dancer just had a style her own r.I.p.
Love that song
Need the 3 :(.....
Wow, I never knew she performed this by herself.
I was just thinking the same thing. He wasn't very keen about people using the names he gave them and doing the music he wrote after they parted ways. Well I guess he really did love her!!
The most beautiful girl
Wow he really did care about her cause Prince didn't play about his music.
I don't understand where Brenda and Susan are I never knew she did solo appearances before she left Prince
Selena definitely liked Vanity I can see a bit of vanity in Selena
Vanity the Last dragon
People was into "vanity" not denise matthews. Its sad smh

Yes Vanity won as the best looking even though Apollonia was lighter
Beautiful Goddess, taken far too soon
She gained weight in her arms and face only. It made her look so different but always gorgeous no doubt.
She’s lip syncing to the original song that Prince produced for Vanity 6. Minus Brenda and Susan being on stage with her.
Shes just lip-synching-ooooooo Prince hated lip synchers
Tito Jr Prince must have given her a pass
Vanity didn't need those 2 other no talent girls
She looked high.
She had to be high
She was not happy Prince did not make her his number one
Plus her dad made her a sad person
