After hearing about Vanity's death Prince said in his concert in Australia that he is dedicating "Little Red Corvette" to Vanity aka Denise Matthews. Don't take my word for it, look up his concert in Australia. Then you decide which is the correct information. Just like he said in another interview his other song, "Call My Name" was dedicated to his 2nd wife Manuela.
I guess it’s possible that Prince was inspired to write the song by one person in his past and that he dedicated a performance of the song to another woman. But I guess it’s impossible to know for sure.
@@KKMDStyle I always heard that it was about Denise. I find it suspicious when people wait until someone dies, to make claims. I would have brought it up a long time ago while he was still here, IF I was going to mention that the song was about me. Ijs.
@@momoiida5505 I guess none of us will ever know the truth. I also guess that it really doesn’t matter, I think he meant for the song to have meaning for all of us which is why he didn’t include a name.
Mi-Ling you have nothing to prove to anyone - you keep strong and know there are so many people who support you. We have to forgive people in their ignorance and hate - because we know Prince would be so proud of them! YAS! Waiting anxiously for your book!
Mi-Ling put that book out so you can piss the haters off and make me happy. Book, interview, Prince will still be Prince. His reputation was spotless when he was here and his legacy will NEVER be tarnished.
All I know when Vanity died Prince was devastated and basically the whole show was dedicated to her and of course Little Red Corvette was one and he made the comment she knew about this....
Awesome interview! I can't wait for the book. When we are born into the world, no one knows where we will end up or who we will meet. Fortunately, you have completed, dated, and loved the iconic Prince. Nothing happens by mistake. God's plan was for you to meet Prince before he became a megastar. I went back and listened to the song again. In my heart, I believe you broke his heart and left the man without telling him. That hurt him. So he had to write a song about it. It became one of his biggest hits. Lots of people have this same story. It just happens to be you and Prince! He also said that you needed to find what would last. You've been married 34 years to a wonderful gentleman. It has lasted. I am one of the biggest fans ever. I love Prince and his music. But you knew this man on a level we will someday read about. And that's awesome. I'm sure your story will help a lot of women. I'm excited; you didn't have to share any of this. I met Prince once at the Flipside record store in Columbus, Ga. He was autographing my Dirty Mind album sleeve. And noticed me, noticed me. My friends were there too. And what he said to me was exciting. I'll have to inbox you. Lol 😂 I am happy that you encountered Prince as you did. One love 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 sounds like you were able to talk to him. Hopefully, this resolves some past hurts. I am waiting for the book.
I'm not gonna say she's lying. I don't know. But I do in one of Prince's last performances, in his own self-proclaimed tribute to Vanity, he sang "Little Red Corvette". I find it hard to believe Prince would sing a song he'd written for another woman in tribute to Vanity. When Kevin Smith asked Prince why he didn't perform "Morning papers" during a documentary he was filming for Prince, Prince told him it was because Mayte wasn't there to dance to it. That song for Mayte. So, I don't think Prince would've just thrown-out any song from that timeframe with Vanity in tribute to her. He was very personal about his music and the muses who inspired it.
Prince was writing this song about Vanity (Denise Katrina Matthews). That woman is gorgeous! Not sure why everyone is thinking this song is about themselves... Attention seeking and money in their minds.
You know i hate to say this but listening to her off the bat i thought lady this could have been any other woman he was speaking of. I totally agree with u on this it truly fits Denise Matthews aka Vanity and plus the fact that it was stated that he met Denise in 1980 at the American Music Awards date for very short period of time like 7 to 8 months and the song was released in 1982. Sorry i think a little delusional😒 and Michael them know its possible that's why they had no questions and it went cricket city on her.
Very fascinating and enjoyable interview. Little Red Corvette is the 2nd big Prince song that got me into him as a 10 year old after 1999. I didn't hear the 12" version till around 1996. I always wondered why he was yelling "Mayday", "Mayday" towards the end of the song. There's nothing in this interview Mi-Ling said that I felt she was dissing Prince or trying to put him in a negative light. For me, the more people talk about Prince in an objective and positive light the more he stays alive to me.
I have given this a lot of thought so here it goes. Prince cherished Vanity. She was perfection in every way for him. He saw her as the female version of himself. I truly feel he had flings but only ever really loved Vanity until she died in 2016. I have absolutely no doubt Vanity was his inspiration for more music than we’ll ever know. Except for one thing …Remember he adored her…so I don’t think the words to Little Red Corvette fit Vanity. Yes he dedicated it to her after she passes because I’m sure every song held meaning for them by then because they were soulmates. But when he wrote about a girl with a pocket full of Trojans some of them used, and about baby you’re much too fast , and about seeing the pictures of all the jockeys on the wall, I bet Vanity would pass on that being the song about her. I always thought it was more likely Vanity inspired The Most Beautiful Girl. Just another way to look at it. Rest In Peace and Power Prince and Vanity. I know that you’re both having a jam session in Heaven every time you want and that makes me smile. I hope to catch you guys playing again one day.🕊🎶❤️
She had a spiritual connection with him throughout her life.... and he spoke to her thru his music. I don't know. Prince gave girls songs instead of flowers nothing unusual for him.
I will never understand the people who claim to know "What Prince would have wanted". Or "What Prince would have done." I've heard many, many people from the early Prince camp acknowledge Mi-Ling and her time seeing Prince. I've also heard people from his early group also confirm that LRC was written with her in mind. I've heard different people say that they assumed the song was about Vanity. But those people weren't people in his close inner circle from the early years when the song was written. Prince was mysterious in many ways. Purposefully. He created a mystique about himself for a reason and it worked beautifully. Because of that throughout his entire career people have played guessing games about this and that regarding his personal life. He gave us just enough to keep everyone guessing. As for the rumors regarding this song, I'll take Mi-Ling's word for it. Especially since his earliest circle confirms she was a muse behind it. Does that mean that later on he couldn't have sang the song and meant it towards Vanity? Of course not. You can write a song with one person in mind at the time and it apply to others down the line. I love prince. Have loved him as far back as I can remember. But I don't claim to "Know" what he was thinking. He was a very private man, however...I doubt that he's concerned with that now. He himself said he didn't celebrate birthdays, he would celebrate the day he died. His religion was a huge part of his life. And if his religion is true to him, he couldn't give two cents about all this drama back here on earth. He's celebrating a life eternal. The women in his life who choose to speak out, or write books or whatever...the thing we have to remember is that while one side of the story was Prince's...the other side of the story was thier own. And they are entitled to tell thier side. If you don't want to support it, there's an easy fix. Just don't buy it or read it. Simple as that.
Very well said. This woman has specific information about, and connections to Prince. I think she seems very honest and authentic. Her story, and other's that were closer to him give us a better sense of who he was as a person. I'm sure Vanity provided part of the inspiration for this one as well based on the time frame in which it was written. Lisa Coleman stated in an interview that Prince came up with the lyrics to LRC while sleeping in her car one night (he used to borrow her car often, because it had a great sound system), so it's very possible he had dreamt about this woman, and then created the song. Only Price knows for certain, and of course, that is exactly the way he wanted it :)
Could you be the fan that he was answering fan mail from and just one day showed up at his door step?? I believe that if you truly personally known him then you would respect his privacy and let your memories be your memories because although I don’t know him personally myself but being a fan of his and following his career from the beginning, it’s very clear that he was a private person. So private and if you think about it he didn’t even speak of his passing son.
I don't doubt that she knows him, but I don't think she meant as much to him as she imagines. Next she'll be telling us that she was pregnant with his baby and that's why she left. No one has ever mentioned her before. There are no photos of them together. Nothing. I think she was just another jockey on his wall.
I shoot the breeze with her on FB every once in a while, and she's very sweet and honest and a darn good chef! I believe his lady loves can write books on him, as long as it's done honestly. The worst book has been out since last April, so any other that comes out will be much better, or, can't be worse.
This is what people are missing with this story. People before they gain full notoriety and fame have normal lives like you and me. It's not out the norm that her story could be true. I met ( friend connection) the Time band on a set in LA when they were finishing the video for "Jerk Out" Down to earth brothers. One of the members shared a few stories about prince being a regular dude who happened to really Love the ladies, this was the kinda talk we do as bruhs do. I remember some of the young ladies in my own life in the same vein of fine unforgettable Ones (We all have that one) Even though her memories may seem uncertain..... based on my encounter with the band.......I think she could be telling the truth. Some of the names she's kicking around are still alive. Her story possibly could be verified for sure.
Out of all the women Prince has dated, I can hardly believe Prince was as smitten with her as she was with him! I've never heard anyone more inlove with herself!
Well she was definitely his type...no doubt. They were kids and they were kicking it. She is quite frank. She was young, cute, and she knew it. I believe her. She was sassy and still is. Vanity was a lot like her. Vanity probably reminded him of her. He may have written it with her in mind but later it was for Vanity, a woman who he truly loved.
RdA This lady, you should look it up on UA-cam it's funny, the lady says Mike was saying Annie are you ok? To her! And she was getting beat up by her man or some ish lol you got to see it!
I can totally tell that she was Prince and knew the real him. I know people who over the years have tried to hook girls up with Prince the same or similar way that she was hooked with him. He definitely always had individuals over the years trying to hook girls ( the quality ones not groupies) up with him at times..The well rounded, educated, quality ones with options( love life wise) and full lives like Mi Ling usually see the bigger picture, know the deal and usually didn't want to deal with Prince for real though. I know his personality type even after he became famous, rich and spoiled..there are other males like him in the world except they never became rock stars occupation wise but they are just as spoiled, rich or richer than him...She is totally right him as far as personality and the way which he was though...
I believed Prince kicked it with Mi-ling just like she said he was a talented boy/ young man in her hood trying to come up in his craft . She was fairly attractive enough in comparison to the kind of ladies he has always attracted to himself; smart & educated , career driven, small petite just like himself, she said she had a lot of wagon she was dragging (big ass) , well connected with the who's- who circle in the twin cities and the new developing Minneapolis sound regional area. It kind of reminded me of my hey- day in my own hood , I always surrounded & rubbed shoulders with the best of the best in my hood also young men that was extremely smart , talented or athletic I really had no -kickers for a dude that was going no where fast & no dreams of his own or the kind that might have been able to blend in a empty room like wallpaper (don't stand out) was not my type. I'm a more outwardly chick that do have a opinion and will be seen & heard very clearly "Say it loud I'm black and proud". People mainly gel well with people that they have something in common with or hold similar interest together. I have always had a relative or two that did great and wonderful things for our Family last name , my OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST uncle is the boxer Mi-Ling named;" TATE " FRANK TATE of Detroit , Michigan fought out of Houston, Texas that lost to Mike Hercules Weaver. Mi-ling's book I will be purchasing, I personally feel she have a very deep informative story to tell, she was before the fame , stardom , riches and most of the bitches. Holla @ your girl !!! #She'sConnectedWithEverybodyHeKnew.....proofThatCanBeProven.
She sounds a bit suspect to me. I do understand you can forget things, but by the time you write a book, 99% of everything you thereafter should be solid.
Im a bit amazed that many of you didn't seem to pick up how awkward it got toward the end. The hosts KNEW this chick was rambling & being delusional.I don't doubt that Prince messed around with her. But that he's sending her messages through these various songs is nutty.
I did catch the crickets towards the end and her asking no questions, no because they kinda caught on or was trying to absorb whether or not this is true and notice to really sell the book she added i did talk to Prince in April the month of his passing.😉
Prince never said Little Red Corvette was about Vanity. Everyone assumed because she had a red corvette. At his piano and Mic show he did dedicate it to her but it was written before he met her released yrs later. I have been a fan for 42 yrs since the beginning 15yr For U. It could be from a few references with him. Prince was a man a young man when he started he had 2 failed marriages he was profoundly lonely in the sence he never found his equal mentally or emotionally.
Very confident vain woman. I have never heard a woman talk like this about herself. I don't know anything about her, but she must have been a knockout.
Yeah it's an amazing power. An almost god-like power (with a small G ). They can act like the victim, but on any weekend, a pretty girl can go out, and say, "That man looked at me," or "touched me" - and a half dozen guys will beat or kill him. Plus they can use that beauty to manipulate or take advantage of most people. It can make problems though, when it blows back on 'em. And many of them wind up miserable. I'd read her book.
@@inquisitivesoutherntara6997 Prince said in a interview "The beautiful ones " was written for the character in Purple Rain. That character originally was supposed to be played by Vanity. Prince wrote "Adore" and "If I was your girlfriend" about Susannah .
Hey Mike good interview you heeded the advice and let your guests speak and memories came flooding back. Nice one. I will reserve my opinion of her but I do identify strongly and understand some of what she's saying. Its intriguing.
Mi-Ling, enjoyed listening to your history and stories. Definitely, will read your book when it is published. Near the end, you mentioned heritage. I noticed you said Italian and it made me wonder if that is where Prince got the idea to tell reporters he was part Italian.
Very unbelievable story several contradictions. First she was 16 when she met him then she was at the University when she met him. Then she said his first album was out when she met him and then oh well maybe it wasn't out. Anyway I just don't believe it I think she wants to be the subject of Little Red Corvette!
I was one of the "random people" Mi-Ling was talking about. She told me this story a few years ago. She wrestled with the idea of stepping forward because of the reaction she might face. And reading some of these comments is exactly why she did not come forward before. You either believe her story and the corroborating evidence or you dont. But the fact that some people who have NO CONNECTION to Prince are dragging this woman before even considering the evidence is astounding. The fact that she already said part of this book is about her relationship with Prince. It's a small part, although important. THE BOOK WILL BE ABOUT MI-LING, and how her life relates to the struggles of other young women. I cant wait until the book comes out. What she hasnt yet divulged is the REAL STORY. So, if you wanna HATE, get your engines ready. Its gonna be a bumpy damn Limousine ride.
I believe her. Surprisingly, I've noticed a guy on this thread hating on her too. It's a shame....but beauty can be a curse...can't wait to read her book.
Its because that thang looks CLEAN. But its not necessarily. Some of the funkiest, bacteria-filled, catfish nugget smelling pu$$y I've had was red-bone. Stanked like hell.
It’s so sad to me that it’s 2021 and we are still having to have discussion like this. I have a daughter that is 19 about to be 20 years old now. So sensitive subject here. My daughter is biracial and absolutely gorgeous. She has been open with me about the comments and the stares. About kids in school wanting to touch her hair all the time. Grown men saying inappropriate things around her. And she looked at me and told me people are so into biracial babies that it makes her sick to hear”What pretty eyes!” the baby has if they aren’t brown because hers stood out too. She has knowledge above her years and she said “ All it is is Melanin mom .Little more or a little less. “ I sang this song for years and Never understood it was speaking about her color. You live and learn. ❤️
@@faithinwonderland6589 🖤⭐️🖤This woman was not the inspiration to this song, Vanity was. Back then Vanity had a little red corvette. She would take up two parking spaces to make sure it didn’t get damaged. The main thing she did tho was driving it way to fast. 🎼Baby You’re Just To Fast🎵, had to do with her reckless driving, but it could also be about others things as well. Only Prince knows for sure and he’s passed on.🕊🧖🏽♂️🕊
@@purpleflowers699 I just have my own feelings about it. Thank You for sharing what you think with me. There has Never been nor will ever be anyone who can compare to Prince or the way his music transports me. Maybe you’re right. Like you said only Prince truly knows. It’s heartbreaking to me that he is gone. Rest In Peace and Power Prince.All love to you and your’s.❤️🎶🕊🕊
Thanks for an entertaining interview with a hometown girl, she's very pretty. I guess we'll never know for sure who the song was about, maybe it was a composite of various loves. Vanity was a protégé during 1982, so she could be an inspiration as well. People go on and on about Vanity being Prince's soul mate, but other than her being a stunning woman I don't see it. They met in 1982 at the AMA's, she was gone by Aug of 1983 and they never were an exclusive couple. It seems like he would have made more of an effort to keep her if she was the ONE.
David TC Ellis to Minneapolis Sound News June 26, 2016 · You all wanted to know what TC Ellis this is what he had to say about Mi-Ling! Mi-Ling, Prince told me you where you were Lil Red Corvette and some other thangs...haha When I was on the set doing my video for Miss Thang. I was talking to Prince asking him about different songs he wrote. The rumor was he rote Always in my hair about my sister Chi and also there was a rumor about he wrote Little Red Corvette about you and I'm asking did you write Always in my hair about my sister Chi, he said no and then I asked him did he write little Corvette about you and he said yeah and then he told me the bubble bath story...ha
I grew up catholic and I didn’t noticed men objectify women till I went to public high school. Boys mostly black friends of mine would hit on women and say sexy stuff. And then they went to me and try to get the dirty side I never had! I still don’t treat women as sex objects from what I say today. I still am shy on how I want to say to a woman, probably more sappy guy and friendly too. I love this video audio interview. This made me think about some women who went through it, even single moms. That’s a another level and different, but same. Women love to be treated with respect. I went to a LP record store and bought John Mayer. I didn’t know he was a egotistic guy and a woman-objective. And I knew this from a friend that told me about it. It was enough for me to not buy his album by replacing it with another country favorite, Dwight Yoakam. Sorry for the long paragraph. But, I guess y’all would want to see my view and thoughts. This audio interview triggered me to say something thoughtful back! Have a great day!
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah....keep it simple, keep it pretty, keep it classy. Memories are sexier when kept to oneself. Don't understand why every woman who has been with Prince is writing a book, doing an interview, or saying that they have a "song" about them. *Sigh* #thethirstisreal $$$
No offense to the young lady, but I believe Prince and Denise ( Vanity) Matthews. Vanity said that the song " Little Red Corvette" was written by Prince about her being a bad driver. She had a little red Corvette and Prince was worried about how fast she was driving it. After she passed away he was on the " Piano And A Microphone" tour when it happened and he dedicated the song " Little Red Corvette" to her. Prince wrote a lot of Songs to the women in his life. I always thought the song " The Beautiful Ones" was about Vanity, because of the line in the song that saids " The Beautiful Ones Always Smash The Picture, Always every time". Prince wrote that song after he and Vanity broke up. Along with " When Doves Cry" and " Darling Nikki". Those three songs show the range emotions Prince was feeling at the time about the break-up. Starting with anger " Darling Nikki", next pain and sadness " The Beautiful Ones" and finally confusion " When Doves Cry". The song " When Doves Cry" has so many elements in it. The anger, pain, passion, lust, the need for answers....it even has a little humor in it. When Prince saids, " Touch If You Will My Stomach, Feel How It Trimble's Inside"... in between versus he does these humming sounds that I just love. It is true that Prince sometime might write a song that was inspired by more than one person. Like " When Does Cry". It definitely has a lot of his relationship with Vanity in it, but I also know that his relationship with " Vanity 6" member Susan Moonie had a part in it to. When Prince ended their romantic relationship, she started crying and Prince said her crying sounded like doves cooling and it broke his heart and they cried together. We're probably going to hear a lot of women claiming that this song or that song is about them. Unless they said it publicly before Prince died I'm most likely going to take it as wishful thinking. The same way I took all those women saying that they had Prince's baby as wishful thinking.
You guys do such FANTASTIC shows and then you bring this nuttiness to the podcast. ps I met Bobby Z's cousin and she told me "Sexy Dancer" was about her... Next interview?
Prince had a spiritual connection with every women he has every been involved with! Every women say's that no matter if they dated prince, had a musical or professional relationship! This has to do with the fact that Prince was very connected to the Kundalini Energy, the masculine and feminine energy of this world. He was perfectly aligned which is why he was so successful. That why so many people were confused by his appearance but it all of us who has it confused.
Monique Williams. Speak the truth ! You can tell he had many different ladies throughtout his lifetime and because he started being very sexual early on he very well had encountered many young ladies in his younger years in his hometown I'm sure of that. Mi-ling openly admits to being very fast and disconnected from love ie........ she was sexual with several men that gave her the attention she craved & needed from her father while other men used and wanted her for sex. Alot of females can be confused about love, she never sugar-coated herself in the equation she kept it real about herself . Prince and Mi-ling grew up in the same area knowing the same people that can validate her stories of herself & Prince kicking-it relationship together. #SheAdmittedToHavingProblemsEarlyOn.
wow MI LING What a beautiful story about how you met prince amd how little red corvette was about you. thank you fpr shareing your story with clarification.
that is a joke dumb naive Judith Hill has zero similarities with well educated, well rounded, well cultured and politically knowledgable Mi Ling. Judith is a little girl who lies a lot about Prince and who should have been with a record company for her first album instead of her heavily trying to lean on Prince for everything.Maybe after her first album and her first experience with a major record label she have gotten to Prince for help but I believe that she put a lot of stress on him in order to get a successful career because she wanted to be famous.I also believe that she and Sony ( where she was contractually signed) had a lot to with his murder also. .
R R not trying to put you down or anything but I know otherwise about his personal perceptions in women and the ones he simply worked with only were separated from the ones he truly dated for real ( out of the public eye) later in life. I agree and can see Prince not forgetting Mi Ling because over the years he took so many things from her including him wanting his girls/ mistresses used for sex only( who allowed to hang in Paisley Park a day) to pretend and say publicly that they are interior decorators. Mi Ling does interior design on the side as well as many other things. He might have said that about Judith but not in a way that you think.Judithis a dummy and she can't show her face around certain demographics in America where Prince used to hang out( off stage) later in life to this day...She will definitely get her behind beat up if she does . He was simply referring to the Asian lineage of Judith when it comes to Mi Ling. I know girls who Prince dated , hung out with and tried to date over the years and most of the public don't realize that was a normal guy when it came to girls and he mad very common and ignorant decisions as well as perceptions of females in that arena. Jill Jones ( the females who Prince had the longest sexual/intimate relationship with historically) described Prince best when it comes to his perceptions and tastes in females.. he definitely changed and got with the low quality ( lower even in talent) trashy ones after the early to mid 90s just like Jill said .And Jill was right about lying Judith as well.Judith needs to get her first boyfriend and serious so that she can stop lying about a puppy crush she had on a guy instead.
Wow, Prince die books come out , stories come out .Wow I really don't know what to think. Boy they couldn't wait for Prince to die sad .I don't know what true or real. RIP PRINCE 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Never heard of her but I'm inclined to believe her but just speaking artistically it was still 100 % Prince song writing talent and music arrangement that created the masterpiece. To use the metaphor of a car to describe a woman and tell a story that connects with people good luck with that. I guess what I'm trying to say is me and 50 million other guys could have been that guy who dated her but could never have written a song like that if our lives depended on it.
Wow...so much hate. Prince would be shaking his head. First of all when people are doing interviews sometimes your brain forgets details that you know, you know. I had a radio show on KTOK Newsradio and people would often forget things just as I did in that moment. We met in 76 but dated in 79-80. Yes I knew when his first album came out... he was surprised that I didn’t have a copy so he gave me a copy in his basement on France avenue after he gave me a private concert. Next, I do not need money... and if I did as you say, then it would have been smarter to tell my story at the height of his career... but I didn’t. I am deeper than that. My book is about my life and my relationship with Prince. There will be no discussions about details of our sex life. He said it all in the songs. Prince did name me in songs. He used my nicknames unlike many of you... he was not hateful and trying to Call me out when he knew I was married with children. I am sure you will be surprised to find out that I had a career and a life before and after Prince. I also starting writing a book in early 2004. I interviewed members of his band and many others. They signed releases and I have the interviews on tape. I will always have a special place in my heart for Prince and the utmost respect for him and every woman he was associated with because all of these women contributed to his genius by being a muse at a particular time in his life. I have been married for nearly 34 years. When I met Prince he was just starting out. I was not there for his fame or fortune. Before you judge you should read the book. You might find out something about Prince that you would have never known unless you knew him personally and intimately.
Mi-Ling Stone Poole Prince would be shaking his head on your book. If you really knew Prince you will know this and wouldn't be arguing back with his fans.
Gloria Tava You must be a hired troll or not even a Prince fan cause if you were you'd know damn well Prince would not want her writing no book about him with no confidentiality agreement in place. He wouldn't even want a book out about him with a woman dissecting his song. He even got on his on ex wives over that. She just a fling from the 70s that talking trash about Prince looking gay and couldn't dance and was a mess. The title alone Little Red Corvette The Woman Behind The Song? Yeah, she'd be getting sued. Bet.That book is focused on her and Prince that's why it's titled that way. Y'all stupid for enabling. I won't be surprised if she continues arguing with Prince fans. He definitely wouldn't like that either. Tfoh.
When I get corrected and realized I’m singing it so wrong m so embarrassed anyway I heard prince say someone Elise did the same thing and he thought it was funny so I would have brought a smile to his face echocardiogram makes me smile love ❤️ u prince forever 💋
Great interview.. one I could listen to over and over. I feel for her about the double standard..but I also see Prince's point of view.. he was heart broken.. and wanted to be her man. Can't blame him for saying she should slow down... I take that as she wasn't so much a loose woman and was judging her but that if she only slowed down with him he could love her the way she needs and wants.. Would love to see that footage of her at the concert holding that sign.. What a moment that must've been.. Dying to hear about their conversation the time she when to Paisley Park. Any idea when her book is gonna come out ? If it's not out already. I searched but came up empty. On a different note.. Prince signed his first record contract on June 25th 1977. According to the Ultimate Prince.
@@Comfortzoneradiotv Thanks for sharing your story, and sorry for your loss. I imagine even though a lot of time has passed it's still difficult at times. 💜
And girls shouldn't dress like strippers and expect to be treated like a lady. Women need to stop fighting that fight. Dress respectable and you will get respect. If you show your body you are gonna turn men on, plain and simple
I bet prince wouldn't have appreciated one of his lovers performing a song about him sexually in fact if the tables were turned I believe he would sue to silence
When doves cry was about me..."dig if you will my picture " when them doves be boo-hoo boo-hoo yea yea see because I really don't know why damn birds just be sad I say!!
I find people interesting. Come here when it's obviously gossip and someone's alleged experience, then complain about them talking. Isn't it why you came? Hmm. Then the rest seem to be sure the song is about Vanity. I think it could be influence by multiple experiences. However when I hear about Vanity and how she loved Prince, how hurt she was he wouldn't stop cheating: He sounds like a little red Corvette more than anyone at that time. I am amazed how people that haven't even breathed the same air are so emphatic. It's just so fascinating how people "think"... I guess. I think most of his songs were amalgamations and partial projections.
She made me sick. Come on guys, you should’ve been a wake up to her. She was so full of herself. She wasn’t all that but made out she was some sort of glamour model back in the day. I’ve never heard someone speak so much BS in an interview about Prince. It was wishful thinking on her behalf that Little Red Corvette was about her. Was there any song that wasn’t written about her.
I know exactly what shes speaking of when it comes to those dirty older men knowing your a minor but lusting after u. If the young men are lusting what do u think the older dogs are looking for and thinking.😒
All the sudden everyone is little red corvette The groupie-type!?? With a pocket full of horses. Get Real Woman! Prince said the song was about Vanity.
After hearing about Vanity's death Prince said in his concert in Australia that he is dedicating "Little Red Corvette" to Vanity aka Denise Matthews. Don't take my word for it, look up his concert in Australia. Then you decide which is the correct information. Just like he said in another interview his other song, "Call My Name" was dedicated to his 2nd wife Manuela.
I guess it’s possible that Prince was inspired to write the song by one person in his past and that he dedicated a performance of the song to another woman. But I guess it’s impossible to know for sure.
@@KKMDStyle I always heard that it was about Denise. I find it suspicious when people wait until someone dies, to make claims. I would have brought it up a long time ago while he was still here, IF I was going to mention that the song was about me. Ijs.
@@momoiida5505 I guess none of us will ever know the truth. I also guess that it really doesn’t matter, I think he meant for the song to have meaning for all of us which is why he didn’t include a name.
I was at the concert in Australia and he did indeed say it.
No offense but I just don’t know about the validity of this interview …
Mi-Ling you have nothing to prove to anyone - you keep strong and know there are so many people who support you. We have to forgive people in their ignorance and hate - because we know Prince would be so proud of them! YAS! Waiting anxiously for your book!
Mi-Ling put that book out so you can piss the haters off and make me happy.
Book, interview, Prince will still be Prince. His reputation was spotless when he was here and his legacy will NEVER be tarnished.
Jerome Benton and TC Ellis telling the world she’s LRC Facebook.com/Minneapolissoundnews
All I know when Vanity died Prince was devastated and basically the whole show was dedicated to her and of course Little Red Corvette was one and he made the comment she knew about this....
hmm why now? let the legend rest in peace! $$$$$$$$$$$ is all I'm hearing here
Awesome interview! I can't wait for the book. When we are born into the world, no one knows where we will end up or who we will meet. Fortunately, you have completed, dated, and loved the iconic Prince. Nothing happens by mistake. God's plan was for you to meet Prince before he became a megastar. I went back and listened to the song again. In my heart, I believe you broke his heart and left the man without telling him. That hurt him. So he had to write a song about it. It became one of his biggest hits. Lots of people have this same story. It just happens to be you and Prince! He also said that you needed to find what would last. You've been married 34 years to a wonderful gentleman. It has lasted. I am one of the biggest fans ever. I love Prince and his music. But you knew this man on a level we will someday read about. And that's awesome. I'm sure your story will help a lot of women. I'm excited; you didn't have to share any of this. I met Prince once at the Flipside record store in Columbus, Ga. He was autographing my Dirty Mind album sleeve. And noticed me, noticed me. My friends were there too. And what he said to me was exciting. I'll have to inbox you. Lol 😂 I am happy that you encountered Prince as you did. One love 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 sounds like you were able to talk to him. Hopefully, this resolves some past hurts.
I am waiting for the book.
All the sudden everyone is little red corvette
But that song was Dedicated to Vanity!!
I'm not gonna say she's lying. I don't know. But I do in one of Prince's last performances, in his own self-proclaimed tribute to Vanity, he sang "Little Red Corvette". I find it hard to believe Prince would sing a song he'd written for another woman in tribute to Vanity. When Kevin Smith asked Prince why he didn't perform "Morning papers" during a documentary he was filming for Prince, Prince told him it was because Mayte wasn't there to dance to it. That song for Mayte. So, I don't think Prince would've just thrown-out any song from that timeframe with Vanity in tribute to her. He was very personal about his music and the muses who inspired it.
Hgh
Well he did gift the song to vanity, just like he gave "Strange relationship" and "Wonderful ass" to her
Prince,Dedicated little Red Corvette to Vanity!!!
This woman is full of herself. Which makes it hard to believe her. Even Vanity was so humble in all her interviews. This one i don’t know.
Prince was writing this song about Vanity (Denise Katrina Matthews). That woman is gorgeous!
Not sure why everyone is thinking this song is about themselves... Attention seeking and money in their minds.
You know i hate to say this but listening to her off the bat i thought lady this could have been any other woman he was speaking of. I totally agree with u on this it truly fits Denise Matthews aka Vanity and plus the fact that it was stated that he met Denise in 1980 at the American Music Awards date for very short period of time like 7 to 8 months and the song was released in 1982. Sorry i think a little delusional😒 and Michael them know its possible that's why they had no questions and it went cricket city on her.
Exactly! Vanity was that girl and she knew it that is why she left Prince because she knew her worth.
Yep.
No offense, but Vanity’s beauty no one has surpassed to this day.
Very fascinating and enjoyable interview. Little Red Corvette is the 2nd big Prince song that got me into him as a 10 year old after 1999. I didn't hear the 12" version till around 1996. I always wondered why he was yelling "Mayday", "Mayday" towards the end of the song. There's nothing in this interview Mi-Ling said that I felt she was dissing Prince or trying to put him in a negative light. For me, the more people talk about Prince in an objective and positive light the more he stays alive to me.
I have given this a lot of thought so here it goes. Prince cherished Vanity. She was perfection in every way for him. He saw her as the female version of himself. I truly feel he had flings but only ever really loved Vanity until she died in 2016. I have absolutely no doubt Vanity was his inspiration for more music than we’ll ever know. Except for one thing …Remember he adored her…so I don’t think the words to Little Red Corvette fit Vanity. Yes he dedicated it to her after she passes because I’m sure every song held meaning for them by then because they were soulmates. But when he wrote about a girl with a pocket full of Trojans some of them used, and about baby you’re much too fast , and about seeing the pictures of all the jockeys on the wall, I bet Vanity would pass on that being the song about her. I always thought it was more likely Vanity inspired The Most Beautiful Girl. Just another way to look at it. Rest In Peace and Power Prince and Vanity. I know that you’re both having a jam session in Heaven every time you want and that makes me smile. I hope to catch you guys playing again one day.🕊🎶❤️
She had a spiritual connection with him throughout her life.... and he spoke to her thru his music. I don't know. Prince gave girls songs instead of flowers nothing unusual for him.
That was an all-time compliment
I will never understand the people who claim to know "What Prince would have wanted". Or "What Prince would have done." I've heard many, many people from the early Prince camp acknowledge Mi-Ling and her time seeing Prince. I've also heard people from his early group also confirm that LRC was written with her in mind. I've heard different people say that they assumed the song was about Vanity. But those people weren't people in his close inner circle from the early years when the song was written. Prince was mysterious in many ways. Purposefully. He created a mystique about himself for a reason and it worked beautifully. Because of that throughout his entire career people have played guessing games about this and that regarding his personal life. He gave us just enough to keep everyone guessing. As for the rumors regarding this song, I'll take Mi-Ling's word for it. Especially since his earliest circle confirms she was a muse behind it. Does that mean that later on he couldn't have sang the song and meant it towards Vanity? Of course not. You can write a song with one person in mind at the time and it apply to others down the line. I love prince. Have loved him as far back as I can remember. But I don't claim to "Know" what he was thinking. He was a very private man, however...I doubt that he's concerned with that now. He himself said he didn't celebrate birthdays, he would celebrate the day he died. His religion was a huge part of his life. And if his religion is true to him, he couldn't give two cents about all this drama back here on earth. He's celebrating a life eternal. The women in his life who choose to speak out, or write books or whatever...the thing we have to remember is that while one side of the story was Prince's...the other side of the story was thier own. And they are entitled to tell thier side. If you don't want to support it, there's an easy fix. Just don't buy it or read it. Simple as that.
YES!!!!
Shannon Wells. Very well said too . I don't have a problem with it as long as they don't try to trash his reputation or legacy.
Very well said. This woman has specific information about, and connections to Prince. I think she seems very honest and authentic. Her story, and other's that were closer to him give us a better sense of who he was as a person. I'm sure Vanity provided part of the inspiration for this one as well based on the time frame in which it was written. Lisa Coleman stated in an interview that Prince came up with the lyrics to LRC while sleeping in her car one night (he used to borrow her car often, because it had a great sound system), so it's very possible he had dreamt about this woman, and then created the song. Only Price knows for certain, and of course, that is exactly the way he wanted it :)
Prince was sending her spiritual messages through his music??? 😂 This chick is full of it. 🤣
Could you be the fan that he was answering fan mail from and just one day showed up at his door step?? I believe that if you truly personally known him then you would respect his privacy and let your memories be your memories because although I don’t know him personally myself but being a fan of his and following his career from the beginning, it’s very clear that he was a private person. So private and if you think about it he didn’t even speak of his passing son.
She is full of it
This was an epic interview! I felt like I was going down memory lane with her. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💜💜💜
I don't doubt that she knows him, but I don't think she meant as much to him as she imagines. Next she'll be telling us that she was pregnant with his baby and that's why she left. No one has ever mentioned her before. There are no photos of them together. Nothing. I think she was just another jockey on his wall.
Well this was before he became famous. He was just local at this point.
Another scorcher!🔥🔥🔥 Can't wait for the book! 💜 U Guys! 🤗✨☦️✨ mwahhhhhh!
Prince a true legend...
Sounds like she was getting. around back in the day
She was going 55 in a 35
Wish I had one
@@drinxs505 she must have been listening to anther si
She’s was the town bike. Everyone was riding her.
I know more about the Prince history then ya'll do. He signed his contract in June of 1977.
you dont know.
I shoot the breeze with her on FB every once in a while, and she's very sweet and honest and a darn good chef!
I believe his lady loves can write books on him, as long as it's done honestly. The worst book has been out since last April, so any other that comes out will be much better, or, can't be worse.
This is what people are missing with this story. People before they gain full notoriety and fame have normal lives like you and me. It's not out the norm that her story could be true. I met ( friend connection) the Time band on a set in LA when they were finishing the video for "Jerk Out" Down to earth brothers. One of the members shared a few stories about prince being a regular dude who happened to really Love the ladies, this was the kinda talk we do as bruhs do. I remember some of the young ladies in my own life in the same vein of fine unforgettable Ones (We all have that one) Even though her memories may seem uncertain..... based on my encounter with the band.......I think she could be telling the truth. Some of the names she's kicking around are still alive. Her story possibly could be verified for sure.
Out of all the women Prince has dated, I can hardly believe Prince was as smitten with her as she was with him!
I've never heard anyone more inlove with herself!
She puts me in the mind of the chick that says she was Annie from Smooth Criminal
Mona Liza lol!
Mona Liza You mean the lady who made that claim on Dr. Phil?
Well she was definitely his type...no doubt. They were kids and they were kicking it. She is quite frank. She was young, cute, and she knew it. I believe her. She was sassy and still is. Vanity was a lot like her. Vanity probably reminded him of her. He may have written it with her in mind but later it was for Vanity, a woman who he truly loved.
adangme Yes!
RdA This lady, you should look it up on UA-cam it's funny, the lady says Mike was saying Annie are you ok? To her! And she was getting beat up by her man or some ish lol you got to see it!
Commodores got a song called "Fancy Dancer".
#truth
I can totally tell that she was Prince and knew the real him. I know people who over the years have tried to hook girls up with Prince the same or similar way that she was hooked with him. He definitely always had individuals over the years trying to hook girls ( the quality ones not groupies) up with him at times..The well rounded, educated, quality ones with options( love life wise) and full lives like Mi Ling usually see the bigger picture, know the deal and usually didn't want to deal with Prince for real though. I know his personality type even after he became famous, rich and spoiled..there are other males like him in the world except they never became rock stars occupation wise but they are just as spoiled, rich or richer than him...She is totally right him as far as personality and the way which he was though...
I believed Prince kicked it with Mi-ling just like she said he was a talented boy/ young man in her hood trying to
come up in his craft . She was fairly attractive enough in comparison to the kind of ladies he has always attracted to himself; smart & educated , career driven, small petite just like himself, she said she had a lot of wagon she was dragging (big ass) , well connected with the who's- who circle in the twin cities and the new developing Minneapolis sound regional area. It kind of reminded me of my hey- day in my own hood , I always surrounded & rubbed shoulders with the best of the best in my hood also young men that was extremely smart , talented or athletic I really had no -kickers for a dude that was going no where fast & no dreams of his own or the kind that might have been able to blend in a empty room like wallpaper (don't stand out) was not my type. I'm a more outwardly chick that do have a opinion and will be seen & heard very clearly "Say it loud I'm black and proud". People mainly gel well with people that they have something in common with or hold similar interest together. I have always had a relative or two that did great and wonderful things for our Family last name , my OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST uncle is the boxer Mi-Ling named;" TATE " FRANK TATE of Detroit , Michigan fought out of Houston, Texas that lost to Mike Hercules Weaver.
Mi-ling's book I will be purchasing, I personally feel she have a very deep informative story to tell, she was before the fame , stardom , riches and most of the bitches. Holla @ your girl !!!
#She'sConnectedWithEverybodyHeKnew.....proofThatCanBeProven.
She sounds a bit suspect to me. I do understand you can forget things, but by the time you write a book, 99% of everything you thereafter should be solid.
I'm so glad I read the comment section before I entertained this groupie interview. She's not even jumpoff status.
Im a bit amazed that many of you didn't seem to pick up how awkward it got toward the end. The hosts KNEW this chick was rambling & being delusional.I don't doubt that Prince messed around with her. But that he's sending her messages through these various songs is nutty.
I did catch the crickets towards the end and her asking no questions, no because they kinda caught on or was trying to absorb whether or not this is true and notice to really sell the book she added i did talk to Prince in April the month of his passing.😉
Prince never said Little Red Corvette was about Vanity. Everyone assumed because she had a red corvette. At his piano and Mic show he did dedicate it to her but it was written before he met her released yrs later. I have been a fan for 42 yrs since the beginning 15yr For U. It could be from a few references with him. Prince was a man a young man when he started he had 2 failed marriages he was profoundly lonely in the sence he never found his equal mentally or emotionally.
Interesting! It's possible that he could've combined a few people with her. She left her book open for quite a few sales if they distro it correctly.
Very confident vain woman. I have never heard a woman talk like this about herself. I don't know anything about her, but she must have been a knockout.
Exactly Grace B. Glad I am not the only one who feels that way.
Yeah it's an amazing power. An almost god-like power (with a small G ). They can act like the victim, but on any weekend, a pretty girl can go out, and say, "That man looked at me," or "touched me" - and a half dozen guys will beat or kill him.
Plus they can use that beauty to manipulate or take advantage of most people. It can make problems though, when it blows back on 'em. And many of them wind up miserable.
I'd read her book.
Did u google her? Look again 😉
Prince said the song was about Vanity.
Can you say where fans can find this true fact?
I thought beautiful ones was about vanity???
The songs in purple rain were already written for vanity before she backed out of the role and Appolonia took her place
@@phglam I read he said The Beautiful Ones was about Susannah Melvoin. Wendy's twin sister.
@@inquisitivesoutherntara6997 Prince said in a interview "The beautiful ones " was written for the character in Purple Rain. That character originally was supposed to be played by Vanity. Prince wrote "Adore" and "If I was your girlfriend" about Susannah .
Not judging her, but I always thought her story seemed off & a bit opportunistic. 💜 Surprised this made it to the podcast.
Hey Mike good interview you heeded the advice and let your guests speak and memories came flooding back. Nice one. I will reserve my opinion of her but I do identify strongly and understand some of what she's saying. Its intriguing.
I always said the reason everyone who is writing a book now is because they signed a confidential agreement, like his first wife Mayte.
She is full of it
Mi-Ling, enjoyed listening to your history and stories.
Definitely, will read your book when it is published.
Near the end, you mentioned heritage. I noticed you said Italian and it made me wonder if that is where Prince got the idea to tell reporters he was part Italian.
I wondered the same
I don't know!
Prince pass a way,now all the book's are coming out. Everyone has a story..🤔
He did it (LITTLE RED CORVETTE) about U cause He was HEART BROKEN.......NUFF SAID.
Very unbelievable story several contradictions. First she was 16 when she met him then she was at the University when she met him. Then she said his first album was out when she met him and then oh well maybe it wasn't out. Anyway I just don't believe it I think she wants to be the subject of Little Red Corvette!
Hard to keep a memory after certain age and so many drinx.
Love this story time!
The groupie-type!?? With a pocket full of horses. Get Real Woman!
I guess I should of known by the way you park your car sideways it wouldn't last
Vanity was his true love, but he couldn't get her off of her cocaine. He loved her.
I was one of the "random people" Mi-Ling was talking about. She told me this story a few years ago. She wrestled with the idea of stepping forward because of the reaction she might face. And reading some of these comments is exactly why she did not come forward before. You either believe her story and the corroborating evidence or you dont. But the fact that some people who have NO CONNECTION to Prince are dragging this woman before even considering the evidence is astounding. The fact that she already said part of this book is about her relationship with Prince. It's a small part, although important. THE BOOK WILL BE ABOUT MI-LING, and how her life relates to the struggles of other young women. I cant wait until the book comes out. What she hasnt yet divulged is the REAL STORY. So, if you wanna HATE, get your engines ready. Its gonna be a bumpy damn Limousine ride.
I believe her. Surprisingly, I've noticed a guy on this thread hating on her too. It's a shame....but beauty can be a curse...can't wait to read her book.
Her story looks credible honestly also considering the fact she didn't sign a confidentiality agreement that's a major plus
I agree. It's ok if you don't believe, but there is no need for name calling. Some of these comments are horrible.
Harvey Jenkins I Agree!! I was raised in St. Paul. I knew T.C. and others.... these ppl don't really know. Unless you're from here.
She is very thirsty!
Have never understood the fascination with someone just because one is "red boned".
Its because that thang looks CLEAN. But its not necessarily. Some of the funkiest, bacteria-filled, catfish nugget smelling pu$$y I've had was red-bone. Stanked like hell.
It's called being color struck.
It’s so sad to me that it’s 2021 and we are still having to have discussion like this. I have a daughter that is 19 about to be 20 years old now. So sensitive subject here. My daughter is biracial and absolutely gorgeous. She has been open with me about the comments and the stares. About kids in school wanting to touch her hair all the time. Grown men saying inappropriate things around her. And she looked at me and told me people are so into biracial babies that it makes her sick to hear”What pretty eyes!” the baby has if they aren’t brown because hers stood out too. She has knowledge above her years and she said “ All it is is Melanin mom .Little more or a little less. “ I sang this song for years and Never understood it was speaking about her color. You live and learn. ❤️
@@faithinwonderland6589 🖤⭐️🖤This woman was not the inspiration to this song, Vanity was. Back then Vanity had a little red corvette. She would take up two parking spaces to make sure it didn’t get damaged. The main thing she did tho was driving it way to fast. 🎼Baby You’re Just To Fast🎵, had to do with her reckless driving, but it could also be about others things as well. Only Prince knows for sure and he’s passed on.🕊🧖🏽♂️🕊
@@purpleflowers699 I just have my own feelings about it. Thank You for sharing what you think with me. There has Never been nor will ever be anyone who can compare to Prince or the way his music transports me. Maybe you’re right. Like you said only Prince truly knows. It’s heartbreaking to me that he is gone. Rest In Peace and Power Prince.All love to you and your’s.❤️🎶🕊🕊
Thanks for an entertaining interview with a hometown girl, she's very pretty. I guess we'll never know for sure who the song was about, maybe it was a composite of various loves. Vanity was a protégé during 1982, so she could be an inspiration as well. People go on and on about Vanity being Prince's soul mate, but other than her being a stunning woman I don't see it. They met in 1982 at the AMA's, she was gone by Aug of 1983 and they never were an exclusive couple. It seems like he would have made more of an effort to keep her if she was the ONE.
David TC Ellis to Minneapolis Sound News
June 26, 2016 ·
You all wanted to know what TC Ellis this is what he had to say about Mi-Ling!
Mi-Ling, Prince told me you where you were Lil Red Corvette and some other thangs...haha When I was on the set doing my video for Miss Thang. I was talking to Prince asking him about different songs he wrote. The rumor was he rote Always in my hair about my sister Chi and also there was a rumor about he wrote Little Red Corvette about you and I'm asking did you write Always in my hair about my sister Chi, he said no and then I asked him did he write little Corvette about you and he said yeah and then he told me the bubble bath story...ha
I grew up catholic and I didn’t noticed men objectify women till I went to public high school. Boys mostly black friends of mine would hit on women and say sexy stuff. And then they went to me and try to get the dirty side I never had! I still don’t treat women as sex objects from what I say today. I still am shy on how I want to say to a woman, probably more sappy guy and friendly too. I love this video audio interview. This made me think about some women who went through it, even single moms. That’s a another level and different, but same. Women love to be treated with respect. I went to a LP record store and bought John Mayer. I didn’t know he was a egotistic guy and a woman-objective. And I knew this from a friend that told me about it. It was enough for me to not buy his album by replacing it with another country favorite, Dwight Yoakam. Sorry for the long paragraph. But, I guess y’all would want to see my view and thoughts. This audio interview triggered me to say something thoughtful back! Have a great day!
Hold up she said she met p in 1976 but she said he had his first album out... Ummm what??? His first album came out in 78
WOW... get her some help!!!
So Cool !
Well, Jerome Benton and TC Ellis together shouting out LRC

Man it’s a bunch of haters fans on here, don’t hate because y’all didn’t know the man and she did🙄🤷🏿♂️
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah....keep it simple, keep it pretty, keep it classy. Memories are sexier when kept to oneself. Don't understand why every woman who has been with Prince is writing a book, doing an interview, or saying that they have a "song" about them. *Sigh* #thethirstisreal $$$
MsPrince4life because we’re so wondering WHO HE WAS when it came to females and love relationships
No offense to the young lady, but I believe Prince and Denise ( Vanity) Matthews. Vanity said that the song " Little Red Corvette" was written by Prince about her being a bad driver. She had a little red Corvette and Prince was worried about how fast she was driving it. After she passed away he was on the " Piano And A Microphone" tour when it happened and he dedicated the song " Little Red Corvette" to her. Prince wrote a lot of Songs to the women in his life. I always thought the song " The Beautiful Ones" was about Vanity, because of the line in the song that saids " The Beautiful Ones Always Smash The Picture, Always every time". Prince wrote that song after he and Vanity broke up. Along with " When Doves Cry" and " Darling Nikki". Those three songs show the range emotions Prince was feeling at the time about the break-up. Starting with anger " Darling Nikki", next pain and sadness " The Beautiful Ones" and finally confusion " When Doves Cry". The song " When Doves Cry" has so many elements in it. The anger, pain, passion, lust, the need for answers....it even has a little humor in it. When Prince saids, " Touch If You Will My Stomach, Feel How It Trimble's Inside"... in between versus he does these humming sounds that I just love. It is true that Prince sometime might write a song that was inspired by more than one person. Like " When Does Cry". It definitely has a lot of his relationship with Vanity in it, but I also know that his relationship with " Vanity 6" member Susan Moonie had a part in it to. When Prince ended their romantic relationship, she started crying and Prince said her crying sounded like doves cooling and it broke his heart and they cried together. We're probably going to hear a lot of women claiming that this song or that song is about them. Unless they said it publicly before Prince died I'm most likely going to take it as wishful thinking. The same way I took all those women saying that they had Prince's baby as wishful thinking.
Purple Flowers When Doves cry was about him and Mayte fighting and said it was like when his parents used to..........oh well,
He did gift the song to vanity, Robin powers said prince told her it was about vanity
My question is why does the podcast entertain all this hearsay and gossip.....
ROCKNROLLFAN Thats what Media is, which Internet is a form of Media which includes Podcasts
I'm genuinely curious: How do you know it's gossip & hearsay with such certainty?
because this goofy ass niga has probably been jealous of Prince since birth. 😂
No idea but they stretched the hell out of this interview. I had to stop after 17min, especially when the time tables kept changing.
Exactly y didn't she say this when he was alive
This is so funny I used to sing pay the rent collectio with all my longues out singing my heart ❤️ out
You guys do such FANTASTIC shows and then you bring this nuttiness to the podcast.
ps I met Bobby Z's cousin and she told me "Sexy Dancer" was about her...
Next interview?
Fancy Dancer, The Commodores:her nick-name !! Wow
Prince had a spiritual connection with every women he has every been involved with! Every women say's that no matter if they dated prince, had a musical or professional relationship! This has to do with the fact that Prince was very connected to the Kundalini Energy, the masculine and feminine energy of this world. He was perfectly aligned which is why he was so successful. That why so many people were confused by his appearance but it all of us who has it confused.
ESTIZINIZM why are you so mad. My thoughts don’t have to align with yours.
Monique Williams. Speak the truth ! You can tell he had many different ladies throughtout his lifetime and because he started being very sexual early on he very well had encountered many young ladies in his younger years in his hometown I'm sure of that. Mi-ling openly admits to being very fast and disconnected from love ie........ she was sexual with several men that gave her the attention she craved & needed from her father while other men used and wanted her for sex. Alot of females can be confused about love, she never sugar-coated herself in the equation she kept it real about herself . Prince and Mi-ling grew up in the same area knowing the same people that can validate her stories of herself & Prince kicking-it relationship together.
#SheAdmittedToHavingProblemsEarlyOn.

wow MI LING What a beautiful story about how you met prince amd how little red corvette was about you. thank you fpr shareing your story with clarification.
Nice interview those who spread so much disbelieve and hate will never ever overstand love4oneanother the main message of prince....mb
Prince wrote Little Red Corvette about Vanity. In one of her old interviews Vanity said she owned a Red Corvette when she was dating Prince
No
She is a nice lady..... so down to earth 😄
I will prob read her book..But she is somewhat long winded trying to convey her story..
Interveiw TC Ellis next michael!
My question is why does the podcast entertain all this hearsay and gossip.....
I will say this... Prince never forget Mi-ling. In fact, he said that Judith Hill reminded him of Mi-ling.
that is a joke
dumb naive Judith Hill has zero similarities with well educated, well rounded, well cultured and politically knowledgable Mi Ling. Judith is a little girl who lies a lot about Prince and who should have been with a record company for her first album instead of her heavily trying to lean on Prince for everything.Maybe after her first album and her first experience with a major record label she have gotten to Prince for help but I believe that she put a lot of stress on him in order to get a successful career because she wanted to be famous.I also believe that she and Sony ( where she was contractually signed) had a lot to with his murder also.

Tara McCollum, sorry, it's not a joke. That came from Prince's mouth.
R R not trying to put you down or anything but I know otherwise about his personal perceptions in women and the ones he simply worked with only were separated from the ones he truly dated for real ( out of the public eye) later in life. I agree and can see Prince not forgetting Mi Ling because over the years he took so many things from her including him wanting his girls/ mistresses used for sex only( who allowed to hang in Paisley Park a day) to pretend and say publicly that they are interior decorators. Mi Ling does interior design on the side as well as many other things. He might have said that about Judith but not in a way that you think.Judithis a dummy and she can't show her face around certain demographics in America where Prince used to hang out( off stage) later in life to this day...She will definitely get her behind beat up if she does . He was simply referring to the Asian lineage of Judith when it comes to Mi Ling. I know girls who Prince dated , hung out with and tried to date over the years and most of the public don't realize that was a normal guy when it came to girls and he mad very common and ignorant decisions as well as perceptions of females in that arena. Jill Jones ( the females who Prince had the longest sexual/intimate relationship with historically) described Prince best when it comes to his perceptions and tastes in females.. he definitely changed and got with the low quality ( lower even in talent) trashy ones after the early to mid 90s just like Jill said .And Jill was right about lying Judith as well.Judith needs to get her first boyfriend and serious so that she can stop lying about a puppy crush she had on a guy instead.
But Mi Ling says she is not ASIAN - just her name is LOL! Good JOB!
Gloria Tava, if your comment is in response to my statement, what does that have to do with Prince saying Judith Hill reminded him of Mi-ling?
Wow, Prince die books come out , stories come out .Wow I really don't know what to think. Boy they couldn't wait for Prince to die sad .I don't know what true or real. RIP PRINCE 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Never heard of her but I'm inclined to believe her but just speaking artistically it was still 100 % Prince song writing talent and music arrangement that created the masterpiece. To use the metaphor of a car to describe a woman and tell a story that connects with people good luck with that. I guess what I'm trying to say is me and 50 million other guys could have been that guy who dated her but could never have written a song like that if our lives depended on it.
"Now I know what if feels like to be Prince."
I 🤔 wonder who was the LADY 🚕 CAB DRIVER!
Jill Jones she has interviews on Utube very interesting.
Wow...so much hate. Prince would be shaking his head. First of all when people are doing interviews sometimes your brain forgets details that you know, you know. I had a radio show on KTOK Newsradio and people would often forget things just as I did in that moment. We met in 76 but dated in 79-80. Yes I knew when his first album came out... he was surprised that I didn’t have a copy so he gave me a copy in his basement on France avenue after he gave me a private concert. Next, I do not need money... and if I did as you say, then it would have been smarter to tell my story at the height of his career... but I didn’t. I am deeper than that. My book is about my life and my relationship with Prince. There will be no discussions about details of our sex life. He said it all in the songs. Prince did name me in songs. He used my nicknames unlike many of you... he was not hateful and trying to Call me out when he knew I was married with children. I am sure you will be surprised to find out that I had a career and a life before and after Prince. I also starting writing a book in early 2004. I interviewed members of his band and many others. They signed releases and I have the interviews on tape. I will always have a special place in my heart for Prince and the utmost respect for him and every woman he was associated with because all of these women contributed to his genius by being a muse at a particular time in his life. I have been married for nearly 34 years. When I met Prince he was just starting out. I was not there for his fame or fortune. Before you judge you should read the book. You might find out something about Prince that you would have never known unless you knew him personally and intimately.
you go Mi Ling - you go!!!
can't wait to see these faces reading the BOOK!
damn drop the MIKE! and not speaking of the heavy weight champ either!
Mi-Ling Stone Poole Prince would be shaking his head on your book. If you really knew Prince you will know this and wouldn't be arguing back with his fans.
Kay T could it be you know nothing
Gloria Tava You must be a hired troll or not even a Prince fan cause if you were you'd know damn well Prince would not want her writing no book about him with no confidentiality agreement in place. He wouldn't even want a book out about him with a woman dissecting his song. He even got on his on ex wives over that. She just a fling from the 70s that talking trash about Prince looking gay and couldn't dance and was a mess. The title alone Little Red Corvette The Woman Behind The Song? Yeah, she'd be getting sued. Bet.That book is focused on her and Prince that's why it's titled that way. Y'all stupid for enabling. I won't be surprised if she continues arguing with Prince fans. He definitely wouldn't like that either. Tfoh.
When I get corrected and realized I’m singing it so wrong m so embarrassed anyway I heard prince say someone Elise did the same thing and he thought it was funny so I would have brought a smile to his face echocardiogram makes me smile love ❤️ u prince forever 💋
Great interview.. one I could listen to over and over.
I feel for her about the double standard..but I also see Prince's point of view.. he was heart broken.. and wanted to be her man. Can't blame him for saying she should slow down... I take that as she wasn't so much a loose woman and was judging her but that if she only slowed down with him he could love her the way she needs and wants..
Would love to see that footage of her at the concert holding that sign.. What a moment that must've been.. Dying to hear about their conversation the time she when to Paisley Park.
Any idea when her book is gonna come out ? If it's not out already. I searched but came up empty.
On a different note.. Prince signed his first record contract on June 25th 1977. According to the Ultimate Prince.
💜❤️💜
@@Comfortzoneradiotv Thanks for sharing your story, and sorry for your loss. I imagine even though a lot of time has passed it's still difficult at times. 💜
Tough time of the year for sure...April is the month to wear some purple.
I haven't heard the interview but its on my list of things to check out. 💜
Ok so why did this story not come out when he was alive? Why wait until he's no longer here to defend this or speak on it at all?
“‘You’re both short’”
“Wow!!”
Michael please talk to these people Jimmy, TC, Andre etc to conform, please!
I think she influenced Another Lonely Christmas too.
Wow...
Yodapurple Do me Baby was recorded in 1979. Check your facts. And Vanity did not join the purple family until 1982.
Love Symbol
Yes Im aware of this Thank u...I named wht some used to believe yet Andre wrote it..
very good!
And girls shouldn't dress like strippers and expect to be treated like a lady. Women need to stop fighting that fight. Dress respectable and you will get respect. If you show your body you are gonna turn men on, plain and simple
She is full of it
Interveiw TC Ellis next michael!
TC said it. Jerome said it.
Mi-Ling your so authentic, sharing a treasure trove of truth about the real past. Thank You !
damn lies
I bet prince wouldn't have appreciated one of his lovers performing a song about him sexually in fact if the tables were turned I believe he would sue to silence
When doves cry was about me..."dig if you will my picture " when them doves be boo-hoo boo-hoo yea yea see because I really don't know why damn birds just be sad I say!!
Michael said "pause" at 56:40 🤣
🤣🤣🤣 I Just heard that
I find people interesting. Come here when it's obviously gossip and someone's alleged experience, then complain about them talking. Isn't it why you came? Hmm. Then the rest seem to be sure the song is about Vanity. I think it could be influence by multiple experiences. However when I hear about Vanity and how she loved Prince, how hurt she was he wouldn't stop cheating: He sounds like a little red Corvette more than anyone at that time. I am amazed how people that haven't even breathed the same air are so emphatic. It's just so fascinating how people "think"... I guess. I think most of his songs were amalgamations and partial projections.
2004 was in the round. I'm sure Prince wasn't thinking about her by then.
She made me sick. Come on guys, you should’ve been a wake up to her. She was so full of herself. She wasn’t all that but made out she was some sort of glamour model back in the day. I’ve never heard someone speak so much BS in an interview about Prince. It was wishful thinking on her behalf that Little Red Corvette was about her. Was there any song that wasn’t written about her.
I know exactly what shes speaking of when it comes to those dirty older men knowing your a minor but lusting after u. If the young men are lusting what do u think the older dogs are looking for and thinking.😒
*you’re
Everyone has known atleast one little red corvette in there life
“Don’t date me” means don’t make me reveal my age via talking about memories...
All the sudden everyone is little red corvette
The groupie-type!?? With a pocket full of horses. Get Real Woman!
Prince said the song was about Vanity.
Not convinced she is telling the truth.
good show
