Prince and the Revolution-"Purple Rain" (1984)

Prince was one of the artists who aroused the most admiration in the eighties, this multi-instrumentalist musician, played all instruments, sang and produced his own records, all without leaving his own studio in Minneapolis.
The son of a jazz pianist and a singer, he made his debut at the age of 20 with his album "For You", which without being a relevant album would begin to be considered and respected in the world of pop.
His subsequent albums get better repercussions and thus "Dirty Mind" (1980), "Controversy" (1981) and above all "1999" (1982), manage to position themselves among the avant-garde musicians of vigorous pop rock and soul of the eighties. .
In 1984 his sixth album "Purple Rain" appeared (the first that he would sign with his band The Revolution), the soundtrack of a movie of the same name, with a confusing history and autobiographical notes on the rise to stardom of a glamorous rock musician.
"Purple Rain" would definitely elevate Prince to the olympus of pop rock, in part due to his portentous track "Purple Rain" in which Prince himself performs a memorable guitar solo.
An album that would achieve astronomical sales of more than 20 million copies, in addition to winning a Grammy and an Oscar for the best soundtrack.
