Topic: Apollonia 6


  
  Apollonia 6 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Apollonia 6 was a 1980s female singing trio created by Prince as a continuation of a previous group, Vanity 6.
Apollonia 6 only had one hit with "Sex Shooter" in 1984, but their album outsold its Vanity 6 predecessor and went platinum on the strength of the film and Apollonia's newfound popularity.
Apollonia 6 were slated to open the Purple Rain tour with Prince and Sheila E., but that idea was scrapped after the group returned from a promotional tour of Europe.

 Apollonia 6 - Biography - AOL Music
As Vanity 6, the act had released a self-titled album in 1982 and enjoyed some success with the libidinal single "Nasty Girl." With Kotero (and under their new moniker), the three issued the cheekily titled Sex Shooter in 1984.
Apollonia 6 didn't accompany Prince or the movie's other participants, the Time, on the ensuing tour and they disbanded in 1985 without releasing anything else, leaving Kotero to pursue a solo career.
Neither Bennet nor Moonsie would remain in the music business and Apollonia 6 is little more than a footnote in music history, remembered only because of their connection to Prince.

In 1984, she landed the female lead in Prince's Purple Rain (during which time he changed her name) and replaced Vanity in the female trio Vanity 6, performing with them in the movie under the name Apollonia 6.
Apollonia finally released her debut in 1988, but the fairly pedestrian set of R&B/dance songs failed to make much impression on the music-buying public, and the album soon vanished from sight.
In 1997, Apollonia released a Spanish/English album entitled Stay with Me, but it seems likely that her profile will never be as high as it was during the years of her association with Prince.

 Apollonia
One of several female performers that were stripped down to their underpants and handed a (usually short-lived) record career by Prince in the 1980s, Patricia Kotero initially pursued fame and fortune via work as both an actress and a model.
Renamed Apollonia by her tiny purple mentor, the struggling actress suddenly found herself in one of the most popular films of the year, starring opposite one of the biggest performers of the decade.
Duly re-named Apollonia 6, the new trio wasted no time in landing a crossover hit in the form of the cheeky single Sex Shooter -- although largely as a result of the still-raging media circus centered around Purple Rain.

 Vanity 6 - Vanity 6 - Song Listings
No one ever accused the members of Vanity 6 of being great singers; if you wanted to hear female vocalists with great chops in the early '80s, you listened to Teena Marie, Alicia Myers, or Evelyn "Champagne" King.
That group only recorded one album, which is probably just as well -- Vanity 6 and Apollonia 6 certainly weren't without their limitations.
But despite those obvious limitations, Vanity 6 is a highly entertaining footnote in the history of Prince's Minneapolis funk-rock scene.

Susan's deal was that she was supposed to be the YOUNG one, and they made her carry around a teddybear to prove it.
Brenda on the other hand was a sheer powerhouse of whitetrash with a mouth as foul as her underpants.
But the jewel in the bustier of the Vanity 6 LP is the first track on "Side 6." On "If A Girl Answers (Don't Hang Up)," Vanity and her bandmates swap hilarious no-reason telephone disses with a skag played by an uncredited, and very unfeminine Prince!

When Prince finalised the group he renamed them to Vanity 6 (the 6 represented the group's breast count) and they did go on to dress in lingerie and sing sensual songs.
