http://www.rollingstone.c...e-20160429 'Purple Rain' Director Talks Prince's Weird, Wonderful Masterpiece As Prince's death has reminded us, Purple Rain was a landmark: a film that blended gritty cinematic intensity with one of Hollywood's most eruptive original scores. Released in 1984, the film – which has returned to over 200 theaters since his death – turned Prince into a movie star and grossed $70 million at the box office, making it the 10th highest-grossing movie of that year.

Thanks I love Purple Rain, but it would have been better if Jam & Lewis were in The Time line-up and Vanity was Prince's love interest.

Yes to Jam/Lewis...no to Vanity...Apples had the right blend of naive sweet adorability for the role.

So did vanity in the last dragon a year later

Can we once and for all give up the idea he just made up that Prince gave him a 100 songs? Was the music already discussed at this point? He said, "What about the music?" I said, "We want at least 12 songs. Do you want a double album?" He said he didn't but that he had about 100 songs and they were all ready to go. He brought me back to my hotel and I had a message from Steve that said, "I'll pick you up at 9 tomorrow morning and you can go to Prince's house and listen to music." I walked into his house that morning and went downstairs to his studio and we listened to 25 or 30 songs. I said, "There has to be a good reason for you to be onstage in a musical number. It has to be about the story of the character and how it drives you to the stage." He said, "Okay, I understand." We shook hands and I left with a few cassettes of 100 songs and a lyric sheet. I still have the cassettes in my storage space. Read more: http://www.rollingstone.c...z496EBOzOW Follow us: @rollingstone on Twitter

We mainly need to break into his storage space and see what he has.

Looks like P took Magnoli's futuristic "good vs evil" idea and used it in "G.B". Sounds like he still was up to the idea (if P had lived).

so cant he legally release those 100 songs?
