Purple Rain - Prince and the Revolution LP
The DNA of Purple Rain can be felt throughout pop culture. It is a timeless body of work, an immortal resonance exemplified by smashes such as Let’s Go Crazy, When Doves Cry, Darling Nikki and the title-track Purple Rain. Minted Diamond by the RIAA, the record, having moved more than 22 million copies, stands out as the sixth best-selling soundtrack album in history. Hailed by Vanity Fair as “the best soundtrack of all time” and Time Magazine as the “15th greatest album ever,” the album won Best Rock Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group and Best Album of Original Score Written for a Motion Picture or Television Special at the 1985 Grammys. Prince, posthumously, had his album honoured as Favorite Soundtrack at the 2016 American Music Awards, a testament to the record’s ever-strong relevance and long-lasting impact within the music industry. It was also nominated for a 2017 Billboard Music Award in the category of Top Soundtrack / Cast Album.
