Apollonia 6 - Sex Shooter [12" Maxi-Single]

"Sex Shooter" 1984 [12" Maxi-Single]

Apollonia 6 was the first and only album released by R&B vocal trio Apollonia 6.
The album was initially to be the second release by the Prince-formed group Vanity 6, but when lead singer Vanity departed Prince's camp, the musician hired Patricia Kotero and named her "Apollonia", thus changing the group's name and album.

Apllonia 6, the album, primarily features the vocals of Kotero, with backing vocals by Wendy and Lisa and Jill Jones (although billed members were Susan Moonsie and Brenda Bennett). The album spawned only one hit, Sex Shooter, which was performed by the group in the film Purple Rain.
