Does anyone know if there is a cd with Father Song on it I have been searching for a while and only found one which was on a cd called the purple finale but it didn't play the song at all which was weird. So if anyone know's of a cd and how I could get please respond.

It doesn't exist on any officially released CD. So your options are to listen to Computer Blue, watch the movie, or find a way to get your hands on a bootleg that includes it.

And if there is a bootleg that includes it, most likely it's a live version.

Or taped off the TV while the movie was playing. (Yes, I have one like that.)

P needs 2 quite playin and release the music. It's amazing the music he has that’s unavailable 2 the public. Father Song is so beautiful and heart felt that it brings tears 2 my eyes. I absolutely love this song and truly wish it was available 4 all 2 enjoy. Also he pours his heart out in this song along with Motherless Child.

Has the full length version of "Fathers Song" ever materialized on "any" CD? "The Vault" states that the full length version is 5:15-minute recording and I would love to hear it

U took all the words right out of my mouth. Sometimes I find myself playin my bootleg version of it on the piano, just to hear it over and over again cause the movie and cd versions are so short.

Quite a while back, I bought the sheet music book for the PR soundtrack and it contained the music for "Father's Song"...

"The Vault" goes on to provide the following teaser, "The full 5:15-minute recording of the song is awesome, featuring several melodic elements not heard in Purple Rain or as part of "Computer Blue."

I dying to hear this version!!!

Well I have a cd that is called the Purple Finale and it says on disk 2 that the father song is on there along with god but when i play it there is no father song just god which sucks donkey balls.
