The band released only one album. Most of the tracks were recorded by Prince with some help of Dez Dickerson, sometime before the band was assembled. The Vanity 6 album had minor impact on charts. Many radio programmers were reluctant to air the explicit overly sexual lyrics in the band's songs. Four singles were issued from the album, among them only Nasty Girl got any significant success, mostly in clubs. The band is credited for performed vocals on The Time song The Walk on What Time Is It?, but that in fact was mostly Brenda Bennett, the only real singer in the group. Although a second album was planned, that project ultimately materialized under the moniker of Apollonia 6 when Denise Matthews left the band. After leaving the Prince camp Vanity pursued a acting carrier and recorded two albums under her stage name. Brenda Bennett stayed in the reformed band, Apollonia 6 along with Susan Moonsie. Denise Matthews abandoned the Vanity moniker and no longer worked in the music and film industry when she became a born-again Christian in the 1990s. | ||
