Why is purple rain the song most associated with Prince? Was it because it was the popularity of the film? Was it because of his emotional singing?
What's your thoughts on why purple rain being the song most people think of when they think of Prince?
Was it just a song that created the perfect storm? |

Beacause he won an Oscar for that song and made a film named 'Purple Rain.'
That's not my favorite Prince song though.

Yes exactly..and because it's a great song, although certainly a tad overrated. |

Well...Prince is our Bowie. Let us have him please,  though I agree Americans are ADD as hell and don't know how good they got it when they got it good until they ain't got it no more. Parade thru LoveSexy are quintessential. Purple Rain is LEGENDARY. Surprise, surprise.
Another treat. Another trick. |
