#PurpleRain35 "Prince and The Revolution’s ‘Purple Rain’ Turns 35 | Anniversary Retrospective" (Albumism)

.

(It was published for the album's anniversary, but it's just as relevant now.)

.

Happy 35th Anniversary to Prince’s sixth studio album (and soundtrack to the film) Purple Rain, originally released June 25, 1984.

.

Articles about two PR-related albums which turned 35 as well: Sheila E.'s The Glamorous Life https://www.albumism.com/...rospective and The Time's Ice Cream Castle https://www.albumism.com/...rospective

No, but the song does mention "purple rain".


Wishing on a falling star
Waiting for the early train
Sorry boy, but I've been hit by purple rain
Aw, come on, Joe, you can always
Change your name
Thanks a lot, son, just the same

(I'm surprised people have tried to tie Prince going by prince to the line after.)

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.
