  Vanity 6 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vanity 6 was a female vocal trio assembled by Prince in the early 1980s.
She also inherited the lead role in Vanity 6, which was renamed Apollonia 6, alongside Bennett and Moonsie.
The new trio recorded one album in 1984 that went on to outsell the Vanity 6 album, mainly on the strength of Apollonia's newfound fame, thanks to her movie role and its popularity.

Vanity 6 began as a concept group of Prince's that was to be named The Hookers.

 John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
And, after all, a man is never the better for his carking cares and wandering desires, since there are so many things that increase vanity, Ecclesiastes 6:11; and a man is so ignorant of what is good for him for the present, and of what shall be after him, Ecclesiastes 6:12.
This seems to be a new argument, proving the vanity of riches, from the narrow use of them; which only reaches to the body, not to the soul.
this [is] also vanity and vexation of spirit: a most vain thing, to give the mind such a loose and liberty in its unbounded desires after worldly things; and a vexation of spirit it is to such a craving mind, that it cannot obtain what it is so desirous of.

Known for its trashy, pornographic image and its sexually exploitive lyrics, Vanity 6 was a short-lived female vocal trio that came out of Prince's funk-rock empire in 1982.
Vanity 6 was formed in Prince's hometown of Minneapolis, where singer/actress Vanity (whose real name is Denise Matthews) got together with fellow singers Brenda (a native of Boston) and Susan.
Vanity 6's first album was also its last; in 1984, Vanity left the group and signed with Motown as a solo artist.

The singer was signed to Motown as a full-time solo artist, and her former group, Vanity 6, had evolved into the trio Apollonia 6.
Commercially, Vanity didn't get very far on her own -- many people saw her as a glaring example of style and image over substance and felt that she couldn't be creative without Prince's input.
While no one would accuse Vanity of having Teena Marie's chops -- her voice is undeniably thin -- the singer's writing is generally decent on this 1984 LP, which she produced with Bill Wolfer.

 Popular Music & Feminist Criticism
On the contrary, the group Vanity 6 (formed under the guidance of Prince, later reconstituted as Apollonia 6) was hailed by many feminists as a bold step in the representation of female sexuality within popular culture.
Whether embodying one or more of the roles, the members of Vanity/Apollonia 6 and similar bands synthesize the characteristics of women in the marketplace to such an extreme that they cannot be said to represent independent female sexuality.
Because she is such a talented mimic she reveals, as Irigaray says, "what was supposed to remain invisible"--the facts that these labels are interchangeable and thus meaningless, and that female sexuality lies outside that which the male dynamic defines.

 Nasty Skank Alert!
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!

As Vanity 6 was a potent mix of camp, humor, and sex, Apollonia 6 didn't fare as well.
The album's last track "In a Spanish Villa" is nothing but ocean sounds, Wendy Melovin's guitars, and Apollonia speaking in one of her native tongues.

I loved Prince's edge in this period -he was cold as hell and I think this made Vanity 6 sound hot.
Ive always dug it, I love the little guitar solo, I used to think it was Jesse, but I guess that was P too.
This is the only song on the Vanity 6 album that feels out of place.The main problem is,the girls' voices are just not suitable for ballads.The singing near the end (when they repeat the chorus several times) is absolutely horrid.Instead of this track,Prince should have given a hot funk number to close the album with.
