Timeline

1960

Rosie Gaines (born Rosemary Gaines; June 26, 1960) is an American singer, songwriter and record producer from Pittsburg, California.

Gaines is a former band member of Prince's group the New Power Generation.

She duetted with singer Prince on the hit song "Diamonds and Pearls".

1985

Gaines recorded her first solo album, titled Caring, in 1985, followed by the 1987 album No Sweeter Love.

Although neither album received much commercial interest at the time, both albums have subsequently been released in a digital format on iTunes.

1990

Gaines was introduced in 1990 as the new vocalist and keyboard player on Prince's Nude Tour.

Her first appearance on a Prince album was on Graffiti Bridge, her vocals prominent on the second single, "New Power Generation".

She was also a member of the NPG in the film Graffiti Bridge.

She wrote and performed on the Diamonds and Pearls album, her lead and background vocals prominently featured on most of the album's tracks, including the hit singles "Gett Off", "Cream" and "Diamonds and Pearls".

Following her 3-year tenure with Prince & the NPG, between 1990 and 1992, Gaines started recording her next solo album.

Several albums worth of material were recorded, and an album was set for release on Paisley Park Records under the title Concrete Jungle.

1992

In 1992, after the Diamonds and Pearls tour concluded, Gaines returned to her solo career, although she continued to work with Prince from time to time.

The album, titled Closer Than Close, spawned the singles "I Want U" and "Are You Ready?", and included the song "My Tender Heart", a song composed by Gaines and Prince and featuring background vocals by Prince and long-time NPG collaborators The Steeles, which Gaines had earlier performed on The Ryde Dyvine TV special in late 1992.

1993

She duetted with Prince on the live version of "Nothing Compares 2 U", which is available on his 1993 compilation album, The Hits/The B-Sides and also contributed vocals to the tracks "I Rock Therefore I Am" (from Prince's 1996 Chaos and Disorder album), "Jam of the Year" (from Prince's 1996 Emancipation album) and a re-recorded version of "1999" (titled "1999: The New Master"), which was released by Prince & the NPG in 1999.

1995

Prince produced the official remix to Gaines's 1995 solo single "I Want U", titled "I Want U (Purple Version)".

Starting over, Gaines eventually released her third solo album (her first post-NPG album) on Motown Records in 1995.

In 1995 Gaines also collaborated with Tevin Campbell on the song "I2I", which was featured in the Disney movie A Goofy Movie.

1997

She released a number of dance hits, the most notable being "Closer Than Close", which made the top 10 on the UK Singles Chart in 1997.

Gaines' first band was a family funk/soul group called Unity, with Gaines on organ, her brother Carl on bass guitar, her cousin Lacy on guitar, sister-in-law Dianne on background vocals and her sister Mal on drums.

Gaines also played in a band called The Oasis and A Touch of Class before joining The Curtis Ohlson Band (with Levi Seacer, Jr. on guitar).

Seacer called Gaines one day and asked her to come to Minneapolis, Minnesota to sing a demo of a song for The Pointer Sisters.

While she was doing the demo, Prince came in the recording studio, was impressed by her abilities and asked her to join his band The New Power Generation.

A club remix of Gaines' song "Closer Than Close" was released as a single two years later, in 1997.

The "Closer Than Close" remix was commercially very successful in the United Kingdom, where it peaked at number four on the UK Singles Chart,.

It also charted on the Australian club charts and has appeared on numerous club compilation albums.

The track earned Gaines a MOBO Award for Best International Single at the ’97 Awards show (beating the likes of P Diddy, previously known as Puff Daddy, R Kelly and Tina Moore), and inspired Gaines to record a follow-up club track, "I Surrender", which was released later that year.

The remix of "Closer Than Close" is now considered a club classic, and has been re-remixed a number times since its initial release.

With her own record label Dredlix Records, Gaines strove to bring her music directly via the Internet.

In 1997, she released an Internet-only album, Arrival.

Limited to 2,000 copies, it was available exclusively through her official website.
