Rosie Gaines (born Rosemary Gaines; June 26, 1960) is an American singer, songwriter and record producer from Pittsburg, California. Gaines is a former band member of Prince’s group the New Power Generation. She duetted with singer Prince on the hit song “Diamonds and Pearls”. She released a number of dance hits, the most notable being “Closer than Close”, which made the top 10 on the UK Singles Chart in 1997.
“Closer than Close” is a song by American musician Rosie Gaines, a former singer in Prince’s band the New Power Generation. After being released in 1995 as a track on her fifth album of the same name (1995), bootlegs of garage mixes started appearing. This started a two-year mission by Glaswegian house and garage indie label Big Bang Records to release the track properly in 1997. It peaked at number four in the UK and number six on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. “Closer than Close” is Gaines’ most successful song to date, and widely considered as a club classic.
