PURPLE RAIN DOES NOT BELONG 2 PRINCE!!!

eye've been searching 4 this awhile & eye finally found it. The song is 100% Prince's but he stole the title "Purple Rain" back when he was about 14 years old. eye have found this song by the group America that wrote Ventura Highway N 1972, 12 years b4 Purple Rain. The lyrics go like this: "Wishin' on a falling star. Waitin' for the early train. Sorry boy, but I've been hit by Purple Rain."
Prince is a thief! Yeah, but who isn't?

but no, i ain't scurred of a damned thing. that, and that ain't an example of being a "thief". like what me and hrb mentioned above, same could go with "sign o'the times". people use similar lines or names in songs all the time. it's gone on since the art of songwriting even began. what you're sayin is the equivalent of basically sayin somethin like dion ganked the name sue for "runaround sue" from buddy holly's "peggy sue". makes no sense, really.

keep pullin straws, y'hear? bored

Reporting for duty, Dansa! biggrin

Does this also mean that Talking Heads should sue Radiohead for taking their song's name "Radio Head"?
