Denise Matthews, a.k.a. Vanity, on the cover of Jet magazine in 1988.
Vanity was an R&B star and actress in the 80's and 90's, and a former protégé of Prince. She is best remembered for her hit "Nasty Girl" as a member of her eponymous girl group Vanity 6, as well as her solo hits, including "Mechanical Emotion" and "Under the Influence". She was also the star of the 80's films "The Last Dragon" and "Action Jackson", both quite successful at the box office.
Born in Canada to a Jewish mother of Polish and German descent, and a father of African American descent, she later converted to Christianity. She famously dropped the stage name Vanity, and renounced her career in entertainment to dedicate her time to preaching.
Despite this, her fans never forgot her, and her work in entertainment has reached younger generations, with millions watching her R&B clips on YouTube. Some in the Jewish community will always remember her as one of our greatest rock stars of the 80's.
Matthews sadly passed away in 2016 at the age of 57.

Looking Forward; Looking Back
I've hit that point in my life where I either returning to certain points in my past to pick up those parts of me that I left behind, or maybe it's me simply remembering all the personas I tried on over the years.
From 5th Grade until I dropped out in high-school, I was a band geek. Looking back on it, I now know that I was only a band geek because I wanted to impress my dad. Regardless of the reasons, being part of a school band and being involved in music was a valuable experience—one that gave me an ear for identifying musical styles, if nothing else.
Side-note: it seems to be a common progression for people who have music experience to go into software engineering. Purely anecdotal, though. I'm speaking from my own experiences, and those of people I went to college with. Either way—not bad for a high-school drop-out to become a software engineer, even though I did a lot of stumbling around.
So, fast-forward to sometime at the start of 2002 when I'd mostly forgotten all about school band—it had nearly been ten years as I had dropped out in '93.
Anyway, 2002 is when I first heard Stand Back by Stevie Nicks. That keyboard in the background sounded familiar but I couldn't put my finger on why it sounded familiar. At the time, I chalked it up to it being a huge part of it was that style was common in the mid '80s for reasons that I think we all know why.
It wasn't until 2016 that I'd learned that it was Prince playing keyboards on Stand Back. Then it fucking clicked and I realized why the keyboard work sounded so familiar. As for the other reason why it was familiar—the Minneapolis Sound is essentially what defined mid '80s R&B, and to a lesser extent, pop.
So aside from remembering my background in music, I wonder what other roles I've long since forgotten about that I'll relearn and resurrect as I get older?
