Saw them in Houston the other week. Incredibly dope. Even they guy they brought out to sing some of the vocals didn't feel TOO out of place. Definitely recommended.

which is her point..thelack o credit for singing on many of those songs have lead to her being unrecognized..not for being just onstage but the new remasters unreleased songs she was part of etc

if she sang backing vox she's not entitled to anything. backing vocalists get paid for their session...they don't get residuals.
so if she sang a lick on anything on PR she's ass out at this point. the most she could get is credited.
for backing vox.
on a record that's not particularly known for awesome backing vocalist performances. i mean, this ain't a Luther V or Chaka K or Aretha F or Stevie W record we're talking about here. LOL
but...naw. i don't hear Jill Jones anywhere on PR. i barely hear Lisa and Wendy on it. the Rev only appears on like 4 songs out of 9.
as for the extras added...where she at? The Dance Electric? Wonderful Ass? Our Destiny (the released version clearly has Lisa singing, not Jill J)? Roadhouse Garden? Velvet Kitty Cat? We Can Fuck?

'i cut guide vocals for ___'.
b/c guide vocalists don't get credited.
and anyway, as i said, Prince cut his own guide vocals.
i have a recording of him singing 'Manic Monday', for example. and one w/Apollonia singing it b/c he apparently considered putting it on the Ap 6 album. Ap ain't credited on the Bangles record and she shouldn't be.
Prince did his guide vocals. i have the recordings.
she mad b/c Prince cut a few songs w/her on lead and banged her out on the promise that she was gonna get an album w/all of these awesome songs on it. and it didn't happen.
she DID get a Paisley Park record. i have it. she should be happy he gave her some pretty decent songs - All Day, All Night (you can hear the Revolution on it), G Spot, Baby You're a Trip...
but naw. the fact that she may have cut a few other vocals and then records came out w/those songs doesn't mean she's on those versions of those songs on any of those records.
this shit happens all the time. sadly, it especially happens w/women singers who deal w/men like Prince. hell, Sly Stone cut vocals on several songs on There's a Riot Goin On w/a number of different women singing. apparently he did it so much and erased the tapes w/those vocals so often the sound got muddy. none of those women have a claim to anything.

She appears on a few songs on 1999. She's even in the video for the title song. Next to Lisa. 2 years later she's out and Wendy is in.
Wendy can sing backing vocals. She can play instruments. She can write. She can lead a band. Prince gave her (and Lisa) assignments to flesh out songs with extra instrumentation and shit. Jill? Not so much.
Jill hung around and watched Prince bang out several women all of whom got solo or group albums b4 she got hers. She was a longstanding side piece. She put in her time and for her effort she got a solo record with some choice cuts from the Vault. She appeared in 2 movies. She needs to have a seat.

Like I said - she salty about not being in The Revolution - the original group or even the expanded version with 10 members (he added Susannah - another woman he banged and even 'wanted to marry' while also banging Jill and several other women). The shit is see thru.
Her record came out in 1987 and was a dud on the charts. But shit - she got 8 songs from him. And credit she didn't deserve. Lol. Still mad. Crazy.
