I wrote Purple Rain at the age of 15 in 1983 for Prince. The lyrics "I only want to see you underneath the purple rain" was a reference to INXS 1981 album "Underneath the Colours". I also wrote "Underneath It All" for Gwen Stefani years later. I liked to tie my songs together this way. After Pour Some Sugar On Me for Def Leppard it was Sugar Walls for Sheena Easton which Prince claims as Alexander Nevermind. Kurt Cobain named Nirvana's album Nevermind because of this
@yousufjaffer38 I've seen Tori several times, but sadly I think you missed her best days. Each tour since Under the Pink has gotten progressively more out of hand.
@3Storms A) Nobody is ripping anybody off. Musicians translate the work of other musicians. If you knew anything, you'd know that this is the way it has been done since the beginning of fucking music. B) If you knew anything, you'd know that this is a Prince song. C) Untalented? I'm not even going to respond to that one.
@3Storms wow. that s a whole new level of dick. now i know trolls really do exist. i wondered why people use that word with such hostility. you have shown me a new level of the dark side.
@madsketcher wow. you got sucked into a whole new level of dickheads. never seen anything like that before. when i get accused of trolling it s not cuz i was looking to piss somebody off, i am only expressing an opinion. didnt know that there are really green teethed motley ogres out there with nothin better to do. whew. not to piss you off further, but since i'm here and have an opinion, that bit at the end was really overblown.
@madsketcher Tori was asked to perform Purple Rain. This is because I am a redhead & wrote Purple Rain for Prince. Tori uses some of my family history in her bio. There is another artist with the stage name Marc Broussard which I wrote songs for as well, and I later revised the lyrics of Purple Rain which he performed. I wrote the song "Must Be The Water" which Broussard performs inspired by Prince's "Something In The Water Does Not Compute" which also inspired me to write Computer Blue
beautiful yes, but consistent with lucrative victim culture, which is not rare.
