Vanity, Denise Katrina Matthews, unfortunately passed away the day after Valentine's Day 2016 in a little town called Fremont CA from kidney failure. I'm not sure why this piece didn't mention that seeing as how it was published that year. I had met her a few years prior when I was still living in Oakland as I passed by the church she was giving sermon at. She was a great lady she treated me kindly even though it was my first time she made me feel very welcome. In the middle of her sermon, she came up and hugged me and started dancing with me. I don't know how she knew it was my first time there. I'm told that it was a special event that she was even preaching there that morning. After the service, I was able to talk to her for a good hour or so as they fed me fried chicken and macaroni in the basement. I asked her why she didn't do music anymore just because she was sober now? I asked her if she could she couldn't separate the two without falling off the wagon again? It made me sad for her that she didn't still get to perform and create music. I personally don't know what I would do if I couldn't have that outlet. Coincidentally, I was living in that shithole town and did not know she was actually on life support just down the road at Washington hospital. All I knew was that she was on dialysis when I met her and that she did stay in Fremont CA. I asked her if she was staying at MC Hammer's old place up on the hill and she laughed. I wish I could have visited her and thanked her for making me feel so welcome that morning. I hope she wasn't alone when she passed and I hope she's at peace now.
Wendy and Lisa also did the music 4 the HBO series "Deadwood ".Brilliant and riveting,the soundtrack is most essential to the impact of the storyline.🌚✨🎼🙏🏼🎼✨🌝
WTF are they playing Duran Duran over Lisa & Wendy's storyline ?!? And it's so silly to portrait Sheena as a Prince protégée… She had a successful international career before she collaborated with Prince...
I used to always get Lisa's & Wendy's names mixed up bc Wendy looked more like a Lisa & Lisa looked more like a Wendy to me. It took about 15 yrs, but I finally, mentally, fixed it in my head. They totally skipped over Easton's Miami Vice stint. Those 'where are they now' shows were not very good at all. They left u with more questions about the ppl than u had b4 u saw it. Alot of inexplicably salty ppl in this comment section. This video or channel seems to be a troll magnet. Yt...🙄
@@mikeholton9876 No love, bless your heart. Your wishful thinking is showing among other things. They are talented but, they're not more talented than Prince.

Take care sweetheart.
@@momoiida5505 Agreed…prince had hits before and after them…people that aren’t real fans watch purple rain and think wendy and Lisa wrote the song like in the movie lmao…yet he wrote the song himself, like all his songs/hits and he simply wrote that with the screenplay writer to give the movie dynamic and a storyline…they could play their instruments and all…but if they were so intricate to prince’s success, where were there solo hits before and after prince ? Cuz prince had many before and after…also they were basically live players for touring for those three years….it’s well documented prince stayed in the studio all day and night himself and would write and record the songs playing the instruments himself and then at rehearsal he would hand them all tapes to the revolution and say learn these songs , and when he said learn them…he meant PERFECTLY air he sent their ass home for the day till they learned them and then they could try again the next day…dude was special….💜🕉
My sister in-law was named after Sheena Easton! One of them. The other was named after an airport in Ireland, Shannon & My husband was named after Sean Connery! Yup! Shannon, Sean, & Sheayna (yes I know it was spelled very different but pronounced like Ms. Easton’s name Sheena. Rest In Peace 🙏🏽🕊 Sheayna Lee Doherty Schmidt..
Boy I remember talking about them in grade school! Right after Purple Rain hit VHS. Was it 84, or what. Anyway I was in 4th or 5th grade debating who was finer. Wendy or Lisa? Apollonia or Vanity? To me Prince was the maaaan! Especially after the purify yourself in Lake Minitonca scene. So I guess I still consider Apollonia number 1 to me!!!😀😇👌🏿👍🏿✌🏿
@@highwaymaintainer 😆lol, they were there b4 me😜😆😅I thk they recorded their 1st album there tho🤷🤷I lived a lot of interesting 😉💯🙋🤦😆😮😮🙃🙃🙃😲😬😮😮Places tho...
I don't like the way this is talking about them. And U Got the Look wasn't the only song Sheena did with Prince hello? Arms of Orion? She also had her own career before she met him🙄 Wendy and Lisa were two successful women too! Like ugh what the heck😂
1:22 then 1:29 and 1:32. Backless dress, then bra-like top and a skirt that doesn't cover the inner thighs. The one is pretty uncovered, for someone not wearing underwear.
Watching Apollonia in Purple Rain she has a uncanny resemblance to Tim Curry as Frankenfurter in The Rocky horror Picture Show! Both must have used the same makeup artist and costume closet!
Now Wendy is very masculinized, there is nothing in her feminin, by the other side lisa follow being beauty, always was more beauty than Wendy from my point of view but the charisma really had wendy
They weren't the only talented ladies that he worked with. Sheila E., Bonnie Boyer, Rosie Gaines, Cat Dyson, Rhonda Smith, Tamar Davis, Candy Dulfor, Patrice Rushen and many more.
fortunato of amontillado I think that it was Michelle(Vanity) who was smoking crack rock and hanging with Sixx.At least that's what my copy of "The Heroin Diaries " says.Great autobiography!✨🎼🙏🏼🎼✨

This was done in 1999. It was only put on TH-cam in 2016.
You think this quality video is from 2016 really do you even know what vh1 is
Lets be fair. Sheena Easton deserves one whole program Where are they now.
Sheena wasn't a true Prince protégé, as he didn't discover her. She was already an established artist in her own right.
Wendy was so beautiful in the 80s
I had a thing for her real bad
I was barking up the wrong tree
Ugh Wendy has the hotness. That profile. That rizz. I’m into it. 😊
Back when VH1 was about music
Wendy and Lisa also did the music 4 the HBO series "Deadwood ".Brilliant and riveting,the soundtrack is most
essential to the impact of the storyline.🌚✨🎼🙏🏼🎼✨🌝
seriously? I love that show. I need to watch it again, this time with ears.
And Showtime's Nurse Jackie theme song too.
@@DBMe33 thanks for the tip
You know, Wendy quit calling me, but the door is still open
Sheena Easton is so freaking gorgeous.
I love their song “Waterfall” ❤️
WTF are they playing Duran Duran over Lisa & Wendy's storyline ?!? And it's so silly to portrait Sheena as a Prince protégée… She had a successful international career before she collaborated with Prince...
When I first saw Prince and the band, I was immediately was smitten with LISA, little did I know she was a lesbian.
With all the music Prince has done what is up with Duran Duran in the background?
Sheena, Wendy, and Lisa, and Vanity and Apollonia are NUMERO UNO.
Don't forget Sheila E., too!
Wendy & Lisa also did the music for the TV show Heroes!
Won an Emmy for it, too
Turns out Lisa has a very pretty smile. You can see it in this video.
She always did 😁
@@Coasterdude02149 I just never saw it during all these years. Don't know why.
Lisa was hot! I saw them at a festival in Belgium with The cure , Midnight oil, Lenny Kravitz, n more
Wendy was soooooooo hot in 89-90
Raheem Sabastian I think she still is, both of them.
Piano chick?
Niqulus VIII thank you ☺️
She just had no rythym
And so was Lisa, I think Lisa was the hotter one but they both hot🔥.
I had a thing for Sheena Easton back in the 1980's
An 11 year old pot dealer in MacArthur Park back then was not the most unusual thing you'd see.💀
Where is the smug commentator now?
I used to always get Lisa's & Wendy's names mixed up bc Wendy looked more like a Lisa & Lisa looked more like a Wendy to me. It took about 15 yrs, but I finally, mentally, fixed it in my head.
They totally skipped over Easton's Miami Vice stint. Those 'where are they now' shows were not very good at all. They left u with more questions about the ppl than u had b4 u saw it.
Alot of inexplicably salty ppl in this comment section. This video or channel seems to be a troll magnet. Yt...🙄

Wendy and Lisa are and were as talented as anyone out there , im a serious Prince fan, but i doubt he would have been as big as he was without them.
Nonsense. Absolute rubbish.

*their
Lisa was with Prince from way back and Lisa was with him more than three years.
she was with him since "controversy" 1981
You are so correct. Lisa replaced Gayle Chapman in 1980.
Lisa Colemans sister was a friend of mine. She claimed that she and Wendy were lovers.
@@billbates5475 Lisa was part of Prince's touring band since 1980, three years before the Revolution.
@@TheresaPowers That's not a secret that they were lovers. They have admitted it few times.
Thank you very much for sharing
1:55 Wendy and Lisa released 3 albums with critical acclaim as the video music switches to a Duran Duran song... Ouch!
Apollonia was not married when she starred in Purple Rain , she was Dating David Lee Roth at the time ...Get it straight!
My sister in-law was named after Sheena Easton! One of them. The other was named after an airport in Ireland, Shannon & My husband was named after Sean Connery! Yup!
Shannon, Sean, & Sheayna (yes I know it was spelled very different but pronounced like Ms. Easton’s name Sheena.
Rest In Peace 🙏🏽🕊
Sheayna Lee Doherty Schmidt..
Prince long gone oh well the world still spins and life goes on
You happy about that huh?

"Well Prince kicked me to the curb, and..."
OK, so what does the Duran Duran music under this documentary mean??
They through a bunch of 'unrelated' music under this. They also played 2 The The songs. 'Where are they now' was probably young interns project.
I really like Wendy and Lisa.sheena Easton apples Sheila e.
Alright..... How many of y'all had at least... 3 crushes (or more )of Prince's Lovely Ladies...👍🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💐💐🌹🌹.
What about Sheila E. ?
@s w She's definitely not a reject.
I lived in an apt, where Smashin pumpkins had lived..

@CARL MOBLEY nowhere.... Random. 🤷🤷
My baby takes the Morning train. 😂😂😂
I ve call my BabyCat Wendy!!!❤
"Sheena now acts like a bitch" 😂😂😂
I was so confused and surprised 😂😂
0:38 That wink tho.
That lip liner though at :41
I'm confused...why the Duran Duran music?
This is more like "Where were they then?"
Shows Wendy & Lisa, plays a Duran Duran song
Let's face it: to play with Prince, or being produced by Prince, you had to be attractive.
That was insane!
I liked Wendy, she was hot.
I was around in the 80’s and 90’s and have no clue who this is
Lmao
"Where are they now", asked in 1999
Sheena was the epitome of a sultry woman.
I don't like the way this is talking about them. And U Got the Look wasn't the only song Sheena did with Prince hello? Arms of Orion? She also had her own career before she met him🙄 Wendy and Lisa were two successful women too! Like ugh what the heck😂
THANK YOU!!I just commented about The Arms Of Orion!!!
@@BillKrayer12thMan c'mon now, only REAL Prince fans know🙄 this guy ugh
@@behavioristbusiness7372 oh I've never heard that one before! I'll have to try it! Who gave this guy this script? Just terrible!
3:49 Song?
The abrupt stop mid way through still does not answer WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?
Maybe Rogers Nelson was asking the question ? - Rarther than informing us !
You left out "The Arms Of Orion" from the Batman 1989 soundtrack. BOO!!!
U about Orion?
Purple banana
Please say yes lol
I think this update needs an update
0:40 Bought marijuana from an 11 year old girl? HUH what?
right. they just glossed over that like its nothing
@@iwillnevergetone5 Her lame career was more important I guess.
1:37 What's the title of this song?
Duran Duran- Save a prayer
@@outlawsaint3012 Thank you !!!! I was reminded!!!!
@@mulho6980 Your most very welcome.
I don’t know. I think they’re still lost

Childhood friends lol
I knew a pretty girl named Apollonia she or Maryland should call me so we can catch up!
I owe them an apology 🤷♂️
1:22 then 1:29 and 1:32. Backless dress, then bra-like top and a skirt that doesn't cover the inner thighs. The one is pretty uncovered, for someone not wearing underwear.
Say what?? Did she say “Sugar Walls?”
Completely skipped Easton's continuing roll on Miami Vice.

Prince is Str8 up hip-hop
no he wasn't 🙄
0.30 seconds what was that band again?
The Revolution?
@@DBMe33 thx but it was the background music i was asking about. sorry
Watching Apollonia in Purple Rain she has a uncanny resemblance to Tim Curry as Frankenfurter in The Rocky horror Picture Show! Both must have used the same makeup artist and costume closet!
Vanity died a dew months before Prince.
Now Wendy is very masculinized, there is nothing in her feminin, by the other side lisa follow being beauty, always was more beauty than Wendy from my point of view but the charisma really had wendy
Harem??? Wendy and Lisa were talented.
Right!!!!
They weren't the only talented ladies that he worked with. Sheila E., Bonnie Boyer, Rosie Gaines, Cat Dyson, Rhonda Smith, Tamar Davis, Candy Dulfor, Patrice Rushen and many more.
This video is way full of holes, it's too bad too because it could have been interesting.
Bought marijuana from an 11 yo girl...😭💀💀💀
I know just. Ies.
They were an item and still are...
In hell lies on music 🎶
I have always said it that Nicole Scherzinger looks just like Apollonia!
Don't forget to thumb this pile of poop down kids!
actually lisa did perform in her undies
Harem indeed he had women ... Everywhere
At 0:48 She did what!?! 😨
Apollonia was beautiful but she can’t act her way out of a Cracker Jack box....on any movie set.
LOLITA NONE OF THEM COULD ACT TO ME BUT LOVE MY BABY PRINCE HIS MUSIC MY LORD HIM AND SHEILA E LOVED THEM THEIR CHEMISTRY TOGETHER OH LAWD AWESOME
You wish you were married to Johnny Depp and Channing Tatum. Better odds hitting the Powerball. #SorryNotSorry
Bill Krayer STFU troll
DEBORAH HARRISON I really miss Prince. He would be heartbroken to see what happened in his beloved Minneapolis.
Bill Krayer You probably aren’t married at all Captain Save-A-Ho 🤣
Bit rude having Stupid Girl on in the background. The whole concept stinks a bit to be fair. The voice-over is pure tabloid.
Apollonia was 1000 times prettier than Vanity.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
TootsiesCreationz Ur Crazy!!!!!!!
@@perc30julio12 how'd you guess? 🙃🤭😎
No way in hell or Heaven.
naw... don't think so.
Prince asses? Huh what does he say
Like nearly all of these type of videos ("where are you they now") this is full of crap and incorrect info. What a waste of time.
falcon crest...hahaha what a joke
Appaloosa was crazy and always over at Nikki sixx house constantly doing Crack and heroine .. according to sixx,s bio the heroin diaries
fortunato of amontillado I think that it was Michelle(Vanity) who was smoking crack rock and hanging with Sixx.At least that's what my copy of "The Heroin Diaries " says.Great autobiography!✨🎼🙏🏼🎼✨
It was Vanity
Totally Boring
Who wrote this??? It's horrible
The first Jennifer Lopez!
Wendy and Lisa were way better than Prince.
Lol. Haha haha haha 😂
Keep dreaming
Prince made them, they didn't make him!!!
Stop the coke..please..
troll
No one cares anymore.
Apolonia helped a girl,got her off drugs and gave her money seems liked she helped
*... is the water warm enough* 1:27
"When she bought marijuana from an 11 year old girl" UM.. come again?
Neshaiah Phillips yeah like how tf does that happen
