Rosie Gaines

You've probably heard Rosie Gaines' vocals, even if you haven't heard her name. She's the robust voice on Prince's Diamonds and Pearls; the one performing all the vocal hoop-jumping and light-footed scale scaling. On her own, Gaines' songs rest on a sturdy R&B base, flirting with reggae and coquettishly batting their eyelashes at Funk.
