Apollonia 6 continued the same look and sound as Vanity 6, performing in lingerie and recording songs with names like "Sex Shooter." Music/WendyAndLisa and fellow Prince protege Jill Jones performed backing vocals on the album, but again Prince did all the songwriting and instrumentation despite the credits saying otherwise. The band appeared prominently in ''Film/PurpleRain'' and toured with Prince, using members of Music/TheTime as their backing band. Nonetheless, they didn't enjoy much chart success and the band called it quits not long after. Prince's song choices might have had something to do with it: reportedly, he had considered "Manic Monday", "The Glamorous Life" and his duet with Apollonia, "Take Me With U", for inclusion on ''Apollonia 6'' before he gave them to Music/TheBangles, Music/SheilaE. and himself, respectively. All of them were hits.

Prince wrote and performed all the music on Vanity 6's SelfTitledAlbum except the vocals, though he credited various parts to different names in order to downplay his involvement. Once Vanity quit the band, he found himself in need not only of a replacement lead singer but a replacement actress to play his love interest in ''Film/PurpleRain.'' He found it in actress Patricia Kotero, who also happened to [[HasAType look a lot like Vanity]], whom he gave the StageName Apollonia. And thus Apollonia 6 was born.

Brenda Bennett disappeared for a while but started releasing new music in TheNewTens; Apollonia continued with her acting/modeling career and dropped a solo album in 1988; and Susan Moonsie dropped out of showbiz. The album is out of print and not officially on streaming, although bootleg tracks are pretty easy to come by.

Apollonia 6 was a GirlGroup formed by {{Music/Prince}} which released one SelfTitledAlbum in 1983. It consisted of Apollonia Kotero, Brenda Bennett, and Susan Moonsie.
The project started in 1981 when Prince had the idea to form an all-female group called the Hookers, who would basically be the DistaffCounterpart to his own then-raunchy persona by performing in lingerie and singing lots of IntercourseWithYou songs. He entertained multiple different women for the line-up, but once he met actress/model Denise Matthews he decided to put her in front of the group, name her {{Creator/Vanity}}, and rename the band Vanity 6.
