Friday Night Throwback: Vanity 6 - "Nasty Girl"



With the recent passing of former Prince protege Vanity, we dedicate this week's Friday Night Throwback video to Denise Matthews' old group Vanity 6 and their 1982 hit single "Nasty Girl". An infectious synth-funk single with overtly sexual lyrics, the song, produced (as The Starr Company) and written by Prince, stalled on mainstream radio, but managed to reach No. 1 on the Billboard dance charts. "Nasty Girl" has since gone on to become a dancefloor classic. Matthews disbanded Vanity 6 after the group's debut release and signed with Motown Records in 1984, under which she released two solo records, Wild Animal and Skin on Skin.
