Vanity 6
Known for their trashy, pornographic image and sexually exploitive lyrics, Vanity 6 were a short-lived female vocal trio that came out of Prince's funk-rock empire in 1982. Vanity 6 were formed in Prince's hometown of Minneapolis, where singer/actress Vanity (whose real name is Denise Matthews) got together with fellow singers Brenda Bennett (a native of Boston) and Susan Moonsie. Backed by the Time, Vanity 6 recorded their self-titled debut album for Warner Bros. in 1982. The single "Nasty Girl" became a major hit, and like Prince's albums, Vanity 6 successfully bridged the gap between R&B/funk and rock/pop/new wave. Vanity 6's first album was also their last; in 1984, Vanity left the group and signed with Motown as a solo artist. Moonsie and Bennett, meanwhile, hooked up with singer Apollonia (another Prince disciple) and formed a new group called Apollonia 6. That trio recorded a self-titled album for Warner Bros. in 1984 and had a hit with "Sex Shooter," which was heard in Prince's film Purple Rain. Apollonia 6 also turned out to be a one-album act, as the group broke up in 1985. As a solo artist, Vanity didn't get very far commercially; none of her Motown albums were big sellers. And when she became a born-again Christian in the 1990s, Vanity gave up secular music for good. ~ Alex Henderson, Rovi

Aside from Alex Henderson not being able to write well, it seems that he also didn't think much of Vanity 6. Words like trashy and phrases like Their first album was their last and Vanity didn't get very far commercially; none of her Motown albums were big sellers. And when she became a born-again Christian in the 1990s, Vanity gave up secular music for good give him away. By the way, that was actually HIS punctuation - I copied and pasted. Still this single has and will always rock!

I saw Vanity 6, Time, Alexander O'neil, Cherelle and Prince in 81. It was a sell out show, I remember our seats were in the nose bleed section but Prince had a bed on stage and showed out
Biographer has no love for V6?? Trashy? Pornographic? By whose standards? They weren't Girl Scouts, but they represented a new evolution of sexually liberated women in the 80s. Alex Henderson, are you a woman hater?
I LOVED this song when it came out! The beat is CLASSIC. I also remember Vanity was in some movie back around 1985. It was called 'the Last dragon'...forgettable movie but I still remember her looking gorgeous in it.

This was one of the cuts in the 80's hands down and every girl had some nasty girl in them and some would show it on the dance floor.
An absolutely beautiful woman who couldn't sing a lick. Good thing that it took some divine intervention to open her eyes to that fact, lol. Nonetheless, nice 80s tune.
Vanity was one of the most under rated artisit of the 80's. She didn't have the best singing voice but she really worked it unlike anyone else. I'm happy that she found her peace but I miss her contributions to the industry.
