In 1981, Prince, himself a rising musical star, suggested that his three female friends -- his girlfriend Susan Moonsie, Boston native Brenda Bennett, and Jamie Shoop form a girl group that would be called "The Hookers ''. Prince 's vision was that the three women would perform in lingerie and sing sensual songs with lyrics about sex and fantasy. Prince had been wanting to mentor a girl singer or group since the late -- 1970s when he saw the film A Star is Born with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson.
