@@backstories365 Oh I enjoyed this very much. Thank you so much for posting. I graduated in 1986 and grew up on Prince and all things Vanity. I was devastated when I heard that she had passed away. So glad there are videos on TH-cam Tube to celebrate her.
@@victoriamccord1557 Glad to hear you enjoyed it. It was a pleasure to cover her story. 80's music was the best. And thanks for the kind words we truly appreciate it.
@@Luke91633 If Elizabeth Berkley as Nomi Malone is a drug addict, and divorced of her ex husband taking her daughter away, Vanity do the same as she did?
The problem with Vanity doing Purple Rain was money ...Vanity said Prince only wanted to pay her 5k. but she wanted more & felt she deserved more Vanity wabted 1million ..Prince told her he couldnt give her 1million ...But Berry Gordy offered Vanity 300k for the leading role in The Last Dragon .Vanity took Berry's offer & told Prince " Im outta her "
Isn't that something.. I think we all would have taken Berry Gordy's offer. It's always interesting to learn about the behind-the-scenes drama in the entertainment industry.
One of my first concerts was Prince featuring Vanity 6. I was in the 3rd role I felt like she was using me as her focal point all night. It was an amazing night R.I.P my beautiful angel ! 🕊🙏
It had its moments. Working for major companies like Clairol & Loreal. Meeting Rick James, James Brown. Hanging out with Diana Ross yet it's a stressful business. Lots of drinking, drugs and sleeping around. I'm an author now and don't miss those days. Thanks for replying!
GRIMY, SOILED, STAINED, FILTHY, & DIRT-ENCRUSTED!! I think all the guys that couldn't get girls in high school & college decided they would control the entertainment industry!! And to make it there you'd have to lose your SOUL!
They skipped that she was asked to be in the Mary Jane Girls; but Prince wanted her so he made his own girl group, which is why she didn't go with the Mary Jane Girls. .... so she got caught up
Wow what a great job you did on tellin her journey thru this life her testimony deserves to be shared in the correct way thank you may her journey be a message of truth and hope for many and evidence that jesus is real and merciful and worthy to be praised forever more 🙏❤
Thanks a ton! Her journey is super inspiring, and I’m glad you enjoyed the video. We're a small channel trying to grow and your kind words mean a lot to us..❤️
Denise's transformation was incredible! It's always inspiring to see someone find faith and make positive changes in their life. Thank you for commenting @BackStories365
I enjoyed your story you fascinate me with your beauty in so much you had to offer people and I think you are fantastic❤Angela Louise Jones Myles Scoby😢
We agree with you! The 1999 Tour was truly epic and they went everywhere! For the purposes of the video we only listed a few of their tour stops. Thank you for commenting @BackStories365. We appreciate it..
There are disagreements as to who “The Beautiful Ones” is dedicated to. Some say Susan Moonsie others say Lisa’s sister Susannah Melvin. There are also several rumors as to exactly why she did not do Purple Rain. She also reportedly was on drugs at the time of Purple Rain. She was extremely beautiful though not the best singer, no shade.

Her beauty was undeniable.. And you guys did a nice job with this video.
You're so right about that she was beautiful. And thank you so much for the kind words. We truly appreciate it..❤️
Look I love Denise Katrina Matthews aka Vanity she's sexy and beautiful ❤️
@@JustPerusing Jayne looks very sexy then Denise.
@@Luke91633 If Elizabeth Berkley as Nomi Malone is a drug addict, and divorced of her ex husband taking her daughter away, Vanity do the same as she did?
Thank God she was saved when she died...so was my son and one day I will see them both. Amen.❤
What a beautiful comment. You're so right, Denise's faith and strength was truly inspiring. May your son's memory continue to bring you comfort. ❤️
There has never been a album like 'wild animal' 1984. Vanity was the pre madonna 'ertoica'.
You're absolutely right! Vanity's vibe really brought something special to the music scene.

‘The Last Dragon’ was a better movie then ‘Purple Rain’!
Naw@@DeeNice681
@DeeNice681 YES, it WAS & it also was shorter & way more interesting than Purple Rain itself too as well okay @DeeNice681.
She was doing drugs, and that was prince's way of trying to look out for her,some years later he did offer her financial support
Denise Matthews was so cute 😊
She definitely was! Beautiful inside and out..
One of my first concerts was Prince featuring Vanity 6.
I was in the 3rd role
I felt like she was using me as her focal point all night. It was an amazing night R.I.P my beautiful angel !
🕊🙏
What a cool story. How amazing that you were able to have that experience..
Well done. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words! Glad you enjoyed the video. 🙂🙏🏽

Thanks for the love! So happy you liked it and found it accurate! ❤️
Went to same schools as her mid -late 70's. She was famous then too.
Thanks for sharing your connection! It’s always cool to hear personal stories.
I always wondered how Denise ended up living in Fremont, CA. She truly was an angel who left this world too early.
Denise's story resonates with so many of us. She was definitely one of a kind..

Thank you for honoring Denise Mathews, she truly was a gorgeous queen. ❤️
I was a 'super' model & actress in the 80s & 90s. I knew Berry Gordy. My mom was his assistant. Let me tell you about show business...one word..GRIMY.
How cool is that. It must have been quite an experience to be in the industry during that era!
It had its moments. Working for major companies like Clairol & Loreal. Meeting Rick James, James Brown. Hanging out with Diana Ross yet it's a stressful business. Lots of drinking, drugs and sleeping around. I'm an author now and don't miss those days. Thanks for replying!
GRIMY, SOILED, STAINED, FILTHY, & DIRT-ENCRUSTED!! I think all the guys that couldn't get girls in high school & college decided they would control the entertainment industry!! And to make it there you'd have to lose your SOUL!
Keep going you are really good at this ❤
Thanks for the positive feedback. ❤️
Vanity 6 is still my favorite album of the early 1980s.
I see you know what you're talking about.. You truly appreciate timeless music! Vanity 6 forever.. 🎶
@@backstories365 👍🏽
Do you have a link/name for the instrumental at 15:20? It's incredible!
Thank you for the kind words. We really appreciate it.

I fell in love 💕 with vanity
Thanks for sharing such a sweet. You're right Vanity had a lot of admirers..
& so did I, ever since The Last Dragon itself too as well okay @leonardlawson-sv8hu.
Awesome Awesome Job with this ! I mean Bravo!
Thank you so much for your kind words! It means the world to us. We appreciate it..! ❤️
They skipped that she was asked to be in the Mary Jane Girls;
but Prince wanted her so he made his own girl group,
which is why she didn't go with the Mary Jane Girls.
....
so she got caught up
Thank you for sharing this, we appreciate it.
Well he already had the girl group with Susan Moonsie, her sister and a manager but Susan didn’t like being the lead
2:49 plus she was very pigeontoed to be anything but an editorial model.
Supposedly it’s a book out recently bout her diaries.
Oh that's incredible how fascinating.
Wow what a great job you did on tellin her journey thru this life her testimony deserves to be shared in the correct way thank you may her journey be a message of truth and hope for many and evidence that jesus is real and merciful and worthy to be praised forever more 🙏❤

My dream girl of the 80s 🎉❤
Thanks for sharing! So many guys had a crush on Vanity. She was beautiful.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the comment..❤️
@@backstories365 your welcome 😊
Rip vanity 🕊️
We so agree with your beautiful comment. Thank you! 🙏🏽❤️
She so very much looks like Halle Berry (or Halle Berry looks like her 😇), yet, each possess unique beauty!!
It's amazing how beauty can be so unique yet similar at the same time..!
I don't think she looks like Halle. She had much more charisma. Halle strikes me as an angry person.
They could have made beautiful kids ! 😢
We agree with you. And thanks for the comment..

It's fascinating how many interpretations there are regarding "The Beautiful Ones." Each theory adds another layer to Prince's artistry!
this is the story of a narcissist...stop glamorizing it
Thanks for checking out the video.
Wow that's interesting ❤❤❤
Thank you for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed it. ❤️
