Vanity is a House act. Their sound grew out of Prince, Charlene and Diana Ross. Those roots explain a lot about how Vanity arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as The Time, Jesse Johnson, Mary Jane Girls, Pebbles and Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Dweezil Zappa, Billy Idol and Adam Ant, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
