Folks have been talking about Purple Rain in the media recently, causing me to dig it out for a listen - and it stands up too. The first live stuff Prince put out, and on his 6th album. It's a soundtrack, and I well remember going to the pictures to see it in the mid 80s. I came away as a fan of Morris Day and the Time, and, grudgingly of Prince too. I've subsequently seen him live, and he's at his best on stage, catch him if you can; it's worth it. Although in B flat, this is a classic/ standard, done to death in a zillion clubs and karaoke bars. The chord progression is also on a million songs, yet Prince has managed to get something original from it. It showcases his falsetto and guitar playing pretty well. Enjoy!
