now that's exactly how rumors begin ... she didn't say:"dad composed purple rain" ... she just said: "... I heard the melody of that first from our dad" ... so maybe dad just heard it before her and played it ...

but next thing y'all know (just 3 lil org days later) would be a thread over 253 pages with ppl claiming "prince's dad composed all his music" ...

Lemoncrush your point needs to be in bold at the top of this thread, because yes we Are inferring into her statement. And doing that doesn't not serve the truth at all.

u noticed, huh?

funniest thing is: straight under my original post (#21) which was ignored so far (which is not of any importance for me personally but confirmes pretty much what I tried to mention) ... straight under that post started exactly what I predicted ... and a few posts later the whole purple rain movie is dad's creation already ... and lots of orgers knew it all the time ...

You are not alone. And I got that impression from the actual movie, Purple Rain. It kind of alludes to that.

I thought THE MoVIE alluded to that too.

WHAT?

crush nailed it.

I thought Photography was a hobby of his. Didn't he take pictures of Andy Allo and even use that on her cover?

I'm speaking of the MOVIE Purple Rain not the song Purple Rain. I think the movie alludes to perhaps some collaboration between the kid and Francis L. Sorry for the confusion.

Me too and Im having a hard time understanding why he wouldnt have given credit, if its TRUE...

The weird thing for me is that I'd always thought his Dad had input on Purple Rain. The weirder thing is that I've just had a search and can't find any evidence of this, so I've no idea why I had this thought in the first place.

Perhaps it is the Mandela Effect

Nice effort. They'll only release what they think will pull in the most $'s first. No point in asking for anything recent. It'll be all about the 80s first. Unless they're real honest and do something online for the non-casuals, but i just don't really see it happening. The mediocre response to PR deluxe might change things though if we're looking for a silver lining. They might just throw a lot out and see what sticks, he has enough material. But who will promote and market it? I think the estate is like a headless chicken, a rabbit caught in the headlights, a big horrible mess.

Yep no time at all. But I do feel the Movie Purple Rain alludes to "collaboration" Or influence between the kid and Francis L. I am not speaking to the song. Just the tone of the film in a few parts.

Hum? Now you agree? That's what i was saying, that i always felt the movie alluded to that, a collaboration/inspiration thing. I got that impression from watching it back when it came out and that PR was some kind of inspiration taken from his dad.

MMjas, yes hmmm, i believe in post #32 i agreed with you from the start, unless your talking about

Purple Rain the Song and i am referring to Purple Rain the FILM. the fact that they share the same

name can cause confusion. I am speaking about the film NOT the Song. best!

If this is also the Thank You Thread, I too would like to say Thank you very much Sharon for

doing your best to shed light and answer our questions. If you were at Celebration 2017 I do

believe you held the door to the ladies room for me. Thank you!! Best!!

The Purple Rain I saw alluded to a collaboration between Wendy & Lisa's "unheard" tape and The Kid finally listening to it and then putting Purple Rain together.

So Prince's father apparently composed the melody for Purple Rain

I have often wondered if his father was a silent collaborator. And that any riffs as adults were them quibbling over music. And choosing This direction or that sound. Musical mad men in their workshop. Father and son.

..not if u believe Wendy...

Misslink in the movie, to me after he wakes looks at the sheet music goes into the piano room and starts to possible add some of Francis L's arrangement around Lisa and Wendy's tape music. That is the moment of inspiration of Francis L I am speaking of. When he looks at the sheet music.

I saw that moment as him seeing how they were similar in character, not that he took inspiration from it. If you look at the overall "you're music only makes sense to yourself" and his insistence on playing whatever he wanted in the movie, he felt very protective of his self-expression - it was him trying to work through what was happening around him. The tape was a constant sore point between him and W&L and the collaboration was his way of letting them in, unlike his father's approach to those around him. That's just my take on it; I get what you're saying.
