Prince - Purple Rain Album

Prince broke through commercially with 1999, but what made him a superstar was the Purple Rain album, a soundtrack that is more memorable than the movie it was recorded for. The album, which mixes rock, funk and soul, was one of the best albums released in the early 90s. It opens with “Let’s Go Crazy,” where you hear a church organ and Prince giving a sermon on life until it explodes into a guitar driven rave-up."When Doves Cry" is an instant Prince classic. It’s a one man tour-de-force as Prince plays all the instruments, sings all the parts and produces and writes the song, as well. If one song could encapsulate all of the talent that Prince possesses this it, but you don’t want to miss any of the cuts on this masterpiece.
