Description
Prince - Purple Rain Rock Classics In 1984, Prince released a soundtrack album that would cement his rise to superstardom. The album, Purple Rain, was accompanied by a movie of the same name and featured a set of songs that would become dancefloor anthems. The album's lead single was a power ballad that broke with traditional songwriting conventions, while another track sparked controversy and led to the creation of the 'Parental Advisory' label. This book explores the writing and recording process of the diamond-certified album, delving into the stories behind the songs and the host of B-sides that followed. It also pays tribute to Prince, the mastermind behind the entire Purple Rain project. With its 40th anniversary in 2024, this book offers a fresh look at a pivotal moment in music history. By examining the album's creation, this book provides a unique insight into Prince's innovative approach to music and his enduring legacy.
