She used to call [[Prince]] ’my little man' – as he sings in the lyrics, and he played her the song one time while picking her up from the airport, providing her with the lyrics to read. Vivian would later play the part of 'Miss Thang' in [[T.C. Ellis]]' [[Video: Miss Thang|video]] for the [[Miss Thang|song]] with the same name. |
