#Vanity, geboren als #DeniseMatthews (1959-2016), overleed op haar 57ste aan de gevolgen van de zeldzame nierziekte.
Ze begon als model, tot ze ontdekt werd door #Prince.
In 1982 werd ze leadzangeres van het meidentrio #Vanity6, bekend van de hitsige hitsingle ‘Nasty girl’. Een jaar later al ging ze solo, speelde ze in B-films en viel ze een paar keer in Playboy te bewonderen. Eind jaren 90 bekeerde ze zich tot het christendom, wat meteen het einde was van de carrière van Vanity.

#DeniseMatthews (January 4, 1959 – February 15, 2016), known as Vanity, was a Canadian singer, songwriter, dancer, model, and actress.

Vanity began her public career in the late 1970s as a model, appearing in beauty pageants and commercial advertising. Her breakthrough came in 1982 when she became the lead singer of #Vanity6, produced by #Prince. The trio achieved international success with the single “Nasty Girl,” which became one of the most recognizable funk-pop songs of the early 1980s.

The 1st and only album recorded by Prince’s girl group, Vanity 6, arrived in August 1982. The self-titled project was named for the band’s lead singer, and Prince’s one-time love interest, Vanity (Denise Katrina Matthews).

“She was the most beautiful woman in the world and she had no problem letting you know that,” Prince once said of the former model/singer, who also served as his muse at the time.
