I've been a big Rosie Gaines fan since the 80s, back then when I heard her recordings of Caring, I was very excited about her musical talent. She is one of the best musicians of the last 40 years and such talent will not come back anytime soon. Many greetings from Heidelberg / Germany
Neither of them play several instruments, write,produce and composse. Rosie is kicked in the door for female producers, musicians etc, also. Prince brought some awesome women on his platform! ♥️Rosie Gaines ! This footage is epic! Thank you!
I knew I was not going crazy when I listen Diamonds and pearls with Prince. I so wanted it to be Chaka on that song. She did that song a lot of justice.
My homegirl (or rather 32 miles south of Pittsburgh), hope things are getting better for you. I have seen her countless times perform live (pre-Prince)... competent musician, writer, arranger and incredible singer.
so great and fantastic as she can sing, she is also as a person. I've loved her since 1985 with her album Caring. A great person, exactly those of whom one could need more on earth. The morning is like the smile. Greetings from Heidelberg / Germany
The ups and downs are documented in Possessed by Alex Hahn book. Apparently, her connection in someway extends into the early, mid 80's with Levi joining Sheila's Romance 1600 band. Her joining then must of been around '89 with her mentioning Patrice which she was briefly in Prince's gothic Batman era Funk band in '89. Amazing singer Rosie, hope she's dong great now!
When I listened to Nothing Compares 2 U, her voice reminded me of Michael's, the tone and techniques are all very similar. Now listening to her talk, she reminds me of Michael in speech as well.
Its rumored she could play all the instruments Prince could play. Sad to hear of her health decline, but stay strong - we will always remember her for her vocal talents and songs.
Rosie is beautiful ❤️ vocalist she waisted a lot of her time singing with Prince her voice 💕 is so ❤️ powerful all on its own she needs to always sing as a solo performer she doesn't need any help singing she is a empire all by herself she is clearly a huge star and role model for black women everywhere this is Geraldine Walker from Saginaw Michigan
***** Maybe...by 3 different reasons: 1) either it's because they clearly don't have a voice ; 2) either it's because they just want to sing "pretty" in order to reach more audiences as possible ; 3) either it's because they can't find the RIGHT repertoire (songs) and people to work with!...I think Rosie's case is number 3...unfortunately!...
Rosie Rosie Rosie 🎵🎹🎼🎶 I'm a long time fan of you and your music.Do you remember a little shy skinny kid that was from Martinez back in the early seventies who lived on the corner of Golf St. named Kenny Daggs?
Last time I checked she was in trouble...unfortunately...homeless and with leg amputation risk diabetes!...Prince was helping her out though!...So sad!...People just don't imagine how hard and lonely entertainment/artist life can be!...
M Sanne yeah very sad!There was a tribute concert for to raise money to get Rosie a roof over her head as she has just been sofa surfing for a long time. Her daughter is very supportive but due to Rosie's mental health problems she has found it difficult. Rosie was offered a house but turned it down as it was not located in the area she wanted to live in. She also had serious problems with trying to get her diabetes controlled. Such a shame as she is a lovely lady with a wonderful voice. The best Prince ever had performing with him, in my opinion.
Miss Rosie Gaines is a true legend and so beautiful.

She's talented to grossly understate it, and beautiful! Miss hearing her sing.
dang I miss Donnie on video soul those were the good ole days!!!!
Amazing talent
She grew up on all those singers but sounds mostly like Chaka and looks like Vesta!!!
TYJAH Khan yass she does
Yes!! Her vocal stylings & hair remind me of Chaka Khan SOOOO much!!
Chaka and Vesta sound alike though

She's so damn beautiful, those eyes, that hair, that perfect round face, that... every, everything :)
Yes her daughter Latoya is also lovely
Rosie is beautiful... Great interview 👍👍👍
Music heals, help people reduce stress, help kids learn subjects in school. Playing instruments also.
Not only because it is used for bad influence, this is the reason why the world is the way it is!
@@silke9479 How is it used for bad influence?
I used to love Donnie simpson he seemed so genuine with his interviews. Good dude from what i saw. When BET meant something to us.
I grew up anxiously wanting to watch Donnie interview artists. He was always cool and professional.
Prince and The New Power Generation!!!!❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🎤🎤🎤🎵🎵🎵🎸🎸🎸🎹🎹🎹🎷🎷🎷🎺🎺🎺
Love you Rosie Gaines!! Love your spirit. It's beautiful! Please keep recording. Your voice is outstanding!! One love! :-)
I miss Rosie. Real singers are not popular anymore
plenty of unpopular real singers around , you just gotta look for them now rather than expect them to be on the radio
I love you Rosie Gains, GOD BLESS YOU BEAUTIFUL BLACK QUEEN
MY GIRL! giving a shout out to Sonia from the Hair Police in MInneapolis! RIP SONIA...LOVE YOU ROSIE!!

I'm definitely going to track down her album especially since I didn't have the money to get it when I was a teenager.
Love her ❤️

So much etiquette.
I'm so in love with her. I really am. Like 🤤
She's too phine!!!
Is she really the singer in diamonds and pearls?? I've looked up her solo work and to me she sounds nothing like that record
Yeah it's her.
+Innovative innovation Thats a shame because she's got an amazing voice.
+Innovative innovation Just listen to "I Surrender" (single) or "Closer Than Close" (Remix)...

Who ate all the pies?
What happened to her? I heard she was homeless now
I heard she is really ill. I’m not sure what is happening.
