She was such a rare beauty. Lots of beautiful people but only one Denise

She was the most gorgeous singer ever! ❤😢

Went from lyrics like this to being a pastor, vanity had quite the journey

[keithbrooks]

Sex appeal is something you either have or you don't it can't be manufactured. Vanity had it. Even when she gave her life to the Lord, she was still a knockout, maybe even more so. R.I.P.

I'm so excited to see this video. I haven't seen this since I was 11. Vanity was a very beautiful woman😊😊😊

[wayneLua]

During that time she was the finest woman in the game! Fine!

The sexy-time innuendos in this song and video were fantastically creative and covert! 😊

[daktraveler]

Prince always did have good taste in women❤

[casanovamacbeth]

the song has grown on me. video is a lost gem. it feels a bit plodding to have been a debut. love it though. i really hope we get remasters and streaming of her stuff.

[LongHairDontCareLisi]

This was my song when I was younger & it had no business being my song lol

[corinnekeast]

I remember when this song came out and totally shocked that it practically got ignored on both TV and Radio play!!!
