And the lie she told about prince was going to the bank to pay her 😂😂LMAO😂😂

When people claim to have written songs, my thought is always for them to show us their own verifiably independently written material. We have plenty of verifiably independently written , performed, and arranged music from Prince, and we can see the consistency in his material. I'm skeptical of anyone who claims now to have written any of his songs without their own material for us to compare and contrast it to. I think that some of these people are embellishing. They may have made a joke or an offhand comment that inspired or that he used as a line in a song or something like that, but that doesn't mean that they wrote the song or cowrote the song.

@@boondoggle4820 Exactly it is ridiculous that Apollonia should even claim to have helped Prince write any of his music. She said, she won a poetry contest when she was younger and could write Haiku. That is why Prince would have her help write lyrics to his songs. First of all Haiku is old Japanese poetry with just three lines. You cannot just write song lyrics because, you know Haiku or won a poetry contest when you were younger. Prince was writing music and song lyrics before he met Apollonia. Prince was doing all of this as a young teenager before he even had recording contract with Warner Brothers records. Apollonia forgets she replaced Vanity in Purple Rain and was hired help. To top it all off she claimed she wrote the music to "The Glamorous Life" and brought the song to Prince. First of all Sheila Escovedo comes from the Escovedo family. Her dad is latin jazz percussionist legend Pete Escovedo. If anyone knows latin jazz and how to write music in that style, it is Sheila not Apollonia. Apollonia is not even a real singer, she can't even sing. Prince used Jill Jones, Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman's voices with her non singing voice to make the Apollonia 6 album listenable. Now Apollonia is a songwriter? OMG I can't even believe you even had Prince fans even believing this nonsense. Apollonia is just blatantly lying so she can sell her book about her time with Prince which wasn't that all that long to begin with. Apollonia is just a b rated actress and model, she is no songwriter.

@@venanciahopkins5035 she came up w the idea, its way more common than u think. prince stole plenty of things.

@@scottyjordan3036 I just saw an interview with Dr. Fink on this channel, former member of The Revolution. He was asked did Prince write Maniac Monday and he flat out said yes. You can argue all you want but Apollonia had nothing to do with Maniac Monday. Prince originally wrote Maniac Monday for Vanity 6 back in the early eighties before Apollonia even came around. Apollonia is trying to take credit for something she didn't do. Also Matthew Fink was in Prince's band for many years and Susan Rogers was Prince's sound engineer for many years. You want to argue with them who were there? Be my guest.

nor should she, people who havn't been in P's space for 30+ years claiming they WROTE or co Wrote his songs is just disrespectful

u werent there, and she doesnt even remember where she recorded it appollonia didnt say she wrote every lyric to the song

@@grahamjarman Manic Monday was written well before Apollonia was ever in Prince's camp. The song was written for Vanity 6. Apollonia came on the scene only as a replacement for the filming of Purple Rain after Vanity left. How could she have written a song that was already recorded? The demo was done years prior and the lyrics never changed from when the demo was recorded to when The Bangles re-recorded it.

@@jazzbquick389 that conflicts w what thislady said, wheres demo

@@reeserobinson6889 And Susan was the engineer. She’d KNOW.

LOL😂 they all are taking credit for songs now that Prince is gone. Morris day, AC. I’m shocked apollonia didn’t say that she walked into the room and kissed prince and BAAAM!! She wrote “kiss” LOL

It’s got that very ATWIAD vibe, and as we know that album was already done when PP was coming out

@@rgtowns Duane just said "Manic Monday was written 1-94 , vanity was gone 3 months before that. But Little red Corvette was about the fast vanity.

Genius. The same, but so different.

Also similar to "Monday, Monday" by the Mamas & the Papas.

@@pf6112 Yeah, Dez Dickerson talks about how he turned P on to the Mommas & Pappas during the early days.

@@pf6112 You are correct!!

I hear it now🤯

Damn near everything back then was inspired by Vanity: Little Red Corvette, Raspberry Beret, Pop Life, Delirious, Sugar Walls, Take Me With U, Purple Rain, the Beautiful Ones, the Glamorous Life, and who knows what else.

Thank you Prince😁

@@lonib213 💜

Nonsense

Morris day was never as popular PRince

Did that happen before or after you were dropped on your head?

@@onesong2001 shut up ,,,,,,,, and stop following me. this is the thrid different post what are you, crazy. go away.

So you saying Frankenstein was better than Dr Frankenstein then man that created him.

I remember the boot of this, with Vanity singing it…

Nice opinion but it was written about Prince’s personal assistant and that’s a fact.

@@darkknightsds Correct, Sandra, besides vanity wasn't a virgin like the song says. I'd like to see a picture of Sandra in 83-84. But I probably can guess what she looked like, the other 12 women that looked alike. And Susannah already said 2 times the song was about prince's girlfriend/assistant. That song probably pours out the most love in prince's vocals. And he didn't release it! Maybe it was too painful to let everyone know how much he loved her, because susannah was also standing there. Do you know if "Don't talk to strangers " was also about Sandra? Prince wrote that around the time Sandra left.

TRUTH

She is literally banned from Paisley Park because of it.

Yeah, he kinda tagged along. Should of been one on one

@@sunsetsoundrecorders Oh okay, now I understand. It was annoying but I had to laugh when Susan was like, "I Was!" Responding to her being in the room with Prince. It definitely was a great interview! Thank you!

@@davidm78 yeah, a lot of people claim to be in the room or tag onto Prince for celebrity

@@sunsetsoundrecorders Thank you for having Susan as a guest. She would definitely be someone I would trust to give a truthful point of view of what really happened.

She was princes on-staff 24/7 engineer, who also was responsible to set up rehearsal spaces and equipment for him at his home studio and on the road. There was also another self taught engineer called Z, who did early Prince recordings who also was involved in later recordings once Prince made it big. Susan was trained/qualified and got hired as his daily engineer - to come in whenever he needed 24 hours a day - he had his studio at his house. If I recall, she was the engineer on When Doves Cry and Purple Rain, most of his hits

@@JDAfrica did she run the SSL? Me thinks no

@@Largecanyondog Yeah because you definitely know more than a woman employed by one of the best r&b/pop/funk musicians that ever lived...lol

@@darrellwilliams1991 I’ve just seen like 8 different interviews and it’s not like a cla or Sylvia Massey. She never talks about the actual recording process just personality stuff. 🤷‍♂️

@@Largecanyondog you didn't watch the interview where she talks about becoming a board tech and working at other famous studios before being hired by prince? the woman has a phd in music cognition and was his personal engineer for years ... maybe the board stuff isn't that interesting. she says many times prince worked fast and they didn't have time to do a lot of fancy engineering and mixing, that w/an artist that talented, maybe you didn't need it ....

I do t think anyone did

I believe it

He wrote the lyrics and music 😭😭

This is the God damn dumbest comment I've read in a minute. Living that simp life huh boy?

@Mike Davis That’s not bisexual 😭😭😭

So you think a man can't write lyrics from a woman's perspective? You can't be that narrow-minded..lol...I guess he didn't write "Sugar Walls" for Sheena Easton either huh?

@mikedavis8008your jealousy of prince is showing

you are confusing Purple Rain with reality. They never dated.

Highly doubt it.

Prince didn’t depend on any drugs until later on when he had chronic pain. He would fire band mates for even touching drugs so I doubt at this time he was high.

@@Brolo214 - you said ‘highly’

Nothing to do with drugs... Prince Was At The HIGHEST OF HUMAN CREATIVE IMAGINATION ON EARTH ( If I may correct your meaning, Mr Christian, ) other than that you must be speaking of someone else. Cause P-Dog was organic and a veggie Till The end towards

@Mike Davis He actually got the OK from them to do that song genius...lol
