About &#x201C;Purple Rain&#x201D;
</h3>
</div>
<div class="rich_text_formatting">
<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 &#x201C;The Kid&#x2019;s&#x201D; 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>&#x201C;<em>Big Chick</em> [Prince&#x2019;s bodyguard at the time] came into the office raving,&#x201D; says Leeds. &#x201C;He said, &#x2018;Wait until you hear the song he did last night. It&#x2019;s gonna be bigger than <a href="https://genius.com/artists/Willie-nelson" rel="noopener" data-api_path="/artists/23004">Willie Nelson</a>.&#x2019;&#x201D;</p>
<p>Prince&#x2019;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>

<div class="rich_text_formatting rich_text_formatting--no_vertical_margins">
<p>Lisa Coleman told <em>Spin</em> magazine:</p>
<blockquote><p>You know how [Prince] is. It wasn&#x2019;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, &#x2018;Well, he&#x2019;s playing mainstream pop-rock.&#x2019; Michael Jackson and Prince were breaking ground, but there was still a lot of segregation on mainstream radio. I said, &#x2018;Prince, if you were to write something along these lines, it would cross things over for you even further.&#x2019;</p></blockquote>
<p>Prince said,</p>
<blockquote><p>When there&#x2019;s blood in the sky &#x2026; red and blue [equals] purple &#x2026; 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 &#x2018;500 Greatest Songs of All Time&#x2019; list. <em>Q magazine</em> also included it on their &#x2018;100 Greatest Guitar Tracks&#x2019; 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>
