The Girls

[blueskies]

Does anyone know anything about this group from the 80's?http://www.dustygroove.com/images/products/g/girls~~~~~~_girltalk~_101b.jpg

They were a group put together by Andre Cymone, Prince's friend. they were supposed to be
his version of Vanity 6. That was their only album and they sunk right after it....

Too derivitave I guess...

I bought that album on spec. Played it once, didn't like what I heard, and now it's collected dust for 30 years.

After listening to the youtube video...maybe there's a reason I never heard of them back in 84!

I'll give it a listen to later, blueskies. Prince was super influential back in the days, encouraging Cymone to create this abomination and Rick James to come out with the Mary Jane Girls [[worst name for a group - EVER). I'm still trying to decide if I liked the Mary Jane Girls nearly 30 years after they came out...

I thought Mary Jane Girls preceded Vanity 6 and they were not an imitation/cash in on Vanity 6? Mary Jane Girls had a couple of fun jams.

Andre Cymone had better luck [[and produced better songs) with Jody Watley in the late 80s.

Google says you are correct, I stand corrected. And you are right about their better songs. "All Night Long" remains one of Rick James' best joints.
