Prince had Vanity 6 and Apollonia 6, and Rick James had his Mary Jane Girls, so why shouldn't André Cymone get in on the action too? Released in 1984, The Girls' terrific "Girl Talk" LP was produced by Cymone, who also wrote all of the songs. The three Girls take turns on lead vocals, so I've included tracks that showcase each of them: Germain Brooks sings on "S-E-S-E-X" (not sure what that means exactly—it kinda' sounds like this). That's Sheila Rankin relaying the story of "Women and Men," and Doris Ann Rhodes handles lead vocals on the LP's title track. You can read about André Cymone here, where you'll also find another neat photo of The Girls and you can listen to an unreleased version of their song "Don't Waste My Time." Germain Brooks even chimes in with a comment! Ah-ha, also just found this page dedicated to The Girls, with more info on the group's history from Germain Brooks.
