The Brief:
from AllMusic.com written by Alex Henderson
Assembled by Prince associate Andre Cymone in Minneapolis in 1983, the Girls were an obscure, little known female trio along the lines of Vanity 6 and Apollonia 6. Vanity 6 had done well for Prince in 1982, and Cymone was hoping to direct a hit female group of his own when, in 1983, he hired singers Sheila Rankin, Germain Brooks, and Doris Rhodes and called them The Girls. With a sexy image, R-rated lyrics, and a very Prince-influenced blend of funk, rock, and pop, the Girls were extremely Minneapolis-sounding. All of them were under 20: Rhodes, the oldest of the three, was 19, while Brooks was 18, and Rankin was 17. With Cymone guiding them, the Girls signed with Columbia in 1983, and their debut album, ‘Girl Talk’, came out the following year. In addition to producing ‘Girl Talk’, Cymone wrote or co-wrote all of the material, including the single “Don’t Waste My Time.” Cymone had high hopes for the album, but much to his disappointment, it didn’t sell. The Girls were dropped by Columbia, and in 1985 the trio broke up without ever recording a second album.
