Vanity 6 - Make-Up

I had no idea that 80's girl group, Vanity 6, created the slinky electro track, "Make-Up." I thought NY choreographer/performer, Jonte, was the originator. But alas it was Prince (the songs producer) and his femme fatale protégés who first presented this minimalist track to the public on their eponymous 1982 debut, Vanity 6. The song, comprised of only simple drum patterns and synth rumbles, blips and runs, is an ode to a woman's (or man's) love of wearing make-up...and wearing little to no clothing for his or her man (Rrrrow!).

This just goes to show that Prince is THE ultimate QUEEN!!
