<p>The title track of his 1984 album and film, <em><a href="https://genius.com/albums/Prince/Purple-rain" rel="noopener" data-api_path="/albums/18721">Purple Rain</a></em> chronicles “The Kid’s” nostalgic yearning for a pure love.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>For Prince, the international success of <em>Purple Rain</em> was simply the culmination of many years of hard work, coupled with a strong sense of self-confidence. In 1985 he told Rolling Stone:</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<blockquote><p><a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/prince-talks-the-silence-is-broken-19850912" rel="noopener nofollow">I wish people would understand that I always thought I was bad.</a></p></blockquote>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>“<em>Big Chick</em> [Prince’s bodyguard at the time] came into the office raving,” says Leeds. “He said, ‘Wait until you hear the song he did last night. It’s gonna be bigger than <a href="https://genius.com/artists/Willie-nelson" rel="noopener" data-api_path="/artists/23004">Willie Nelson</a>.’”</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>Prince’s definitive power ballad, Purple Rain peaked at No.2 on the Billboard 200 on November 17th the year it was released.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>In 2015, Pitchfork named it <a href="http://pitchfork.com/features/staff-lists/9700-the-200-best-songs-of-the-1980s/10/" rel="noopener nofollow">the best song of the 1980s</a>.</p>

<p>Lisa Coleman told <em>Spin</em> magazine:</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<blockquote><p>You know how [Prince] is. It wasn’t about coming out with the next record. The next record had to be a whole environment.</p></blockquote>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>Dr. Fink said the idea came about while the band was on tour:</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<blockquote><p>We kept running into Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band. After one of the shows, Prince asked me what made Seger so popular. I said, ‘Well, he’s playing mainstream pop-rock.’ Michael Jackson and Prince were breaking ground, but there was still a lot of segregation on mainstream radio. I said, ‘Prince, if you were to write something along these lines, it would cross things over for you even further.’</p></blockquote>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>Prince said,</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<blockquote><p>When there’s blood in the sky … red and blue [equals] purple … purple rain pertains to the end of the world and being with the one you love and letting your faith/god guide you through the purple rain.</p></blockquote>

<p>Yes, <em>Rolling Stone</em> ranked it number 144 on their ‘500 Greatest Songs of All Time’ list. <em>Q magazine</em> also included it on their ‘100 Greatest Guitar Tracks’ list. <a href="https://pitchfork.com/features/lists-and-guides/9700-the-200-best-songs-of-the-1980s/?page=10" rel="noopener nofollow"><em>Pitchfork</em></a> named it the best song of the 1980s.</p>
