The Brief:
Born Patricia Kotero, Apollonia is best known for the Lake Minnetonka scene in the movie Purple Rain. Come on, you know that’s the first thing you think of when you see or hear the name Apollonia! After her stint in the Prince camp and the group Apollonia 6, Apollonia embarked on a solo career and unveiled her self-titled album in 1988. “Since I Fell For You” was the first single from that album. Largely ignored by pop and R&B radio, she did manage some success in the dance clubs. The 12″ also includes her cover of “These Boots Are Made For Walking” which was not included on the LP.
Ms. Kotero turns 52 today, Happy Birthday Apollonia!

Nice one. I had this 12″ posted on my old Blogger site and was just thinking the other day that I needed to re-post it. We must have been thinking alike
Sometimes I think we should trade posting schedules so we’d know what each other has on tap! LOL
What a freestyle classic!
I have this 12″ too and I remember Paul’s post
But it’s a great way to celebrate her Birthday, Richie!
Shame it didn’t cross over to the Hot 100 though.
Ooooh, my ttenage years…thank you!
I cannot remember that part of the movie?
well then, it would definitely be worth your time to watch Purple Rain again and pay close attention
