 | | Prior to Purple Rain, Prince established himself as a critical favorite with Dirty Mind and 1999, so this album can be thought of, in part, as a quest for greater name recognition. | | | Amazon.com: Music: Music from the Motion Picture "Purple Rain" [SOUNDTRACK] | | | Purple Rain invokes the spirit of Hendrix (superior melodic structure) with Prince asking for redemption; the lyrical content is minimal, and ultimately the guitar is what carries him to absolution. |

| | Purple Rain, Prince's 6th album, was an album made for the purpose of making Prince into a superstar, and that is exactly what it did (the album hit #1 on the Billboard 200, and #1 on the top RandB/Hip Hop albums in 1984). | | | Purple Rain is one of the best albums of all time, and the title track, omg indeed. | | | The vocals are beautiful especially on the chorus where Prince sings about "purple rain, purple rain, only want to see you underneath the purple rain". |

| | The album's popularity was greatly bolstered by the success of the "Purple Rain" film and by the release of several songs from the album as singles, including "When Doves Cry" and three other top 10 hits. | | | Sales of the "Purple Rain" album, which won an Academy Award, three Grammys and three American Music Awards, are said to be approaching 13 million (Warner Brothers is not releasing official sales figures). | | | The album follows Prince's recent announcement, on completion of his long and reportedly grueling "Purple Rain"tour,that he does not intend to perform live again, though he will continue to make records, videos and films. |

| | "Purple Rain" is certainly the music picture - and record album - of the summer, perhaps of the entire year. | | | The first half of Purple Rain is much influenced by the peculiar rhythms and angles and cuts of run-of-the-mill MTV, but it also seems to be about something. | | | And from that point on, Purple Rain is improbably successful at tugging on the heartstrings as well as shaking the rafters. |

| | Billed as a "complicated tale of a man with a talent for music repeating his father's self destructive behavior'', "Purple Rain'' is nothing more than a "I've got a hot album so let's cash in quick'' exploitation flick. | | | "Purple Rain'' stars rock star wannabe Apollonia, who Prince just happened to be screwing at the time. | | | "Purple Rain" was - and still is - an essential part of any good music collection. |

| | At the risk of being over laudatory, Purple Rain is one of those albums that belongs in everybody's record collection. | | | Given the quality of the songwriting and the almost uncanny timelessness of the music contained on Purple Rain, it's really hard to imagine somebody who has never heard a single note of this album. | | | Such is the case with Prince's seminal offering Purple Rain, which was originally released back on August 6th, 1984 and is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. |
