Before Rhianna or Nicki got freaky on stage, it was Prince protege Denise Matthews — also known as Vanity — who got dudes thirsty with her hit “Nasty Girl.” We got news Monday night after TMZ confirmed that the 57-year old had passed from kidney and abdominal troubles. And while Matthews later strayed away from her sexy alter-ego, we’ll never forget her or the fact that she was the one who got to make out with Taimak in “The Last Dragon.”
Follow us on twitter and share your favorite Vanity memories, share condolences or tell us if you think she should be on “Unsung.”
