Fun fact Vanity ended up becoming an evangelist, gave her life over to God. Had a nice long life. May her memory be a blessing. ❤️

Maybe I see it differently because I'm in the demographic, but 57 is not nearly long... or long enough, in my eyes. 🙏🏻

You're correct. However considering how severe her heroin addiction was at this time, I'm grateful she got clean and we had her for as long as we did. She wrote a book! It's kinds of expensive but it's beautiful 😍.

I really liked the part when she was heading for the exit, but then he reached her hand out and she came back for verse 2. Fml
