Prince marks 'Purple Rain' anniversary
Some of us might wonder whether this is an anniversary that would better be left unmarked. I would be at the front of the line...
NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (AP) -- Anniversaries often bring reunions.
And to mark the 20th anniversary of "Purple Rain," Prince reunited with some of the players in his musical past -- Morris Day and The Time, guitarist Wendy Melvoin and former protege Sheila E.
"This hasn't been done like this in a long time," said veteran musician Larry Graham, who performed at Friday's Essence Music Festival show at the Superdome in New Orleans.
"This is just right on time."
Yes, I'll admit it; I saw the movie and bought the album when it came out in 1984. Looking back, I have no idea why, but there it is. Can we just forget this ever happened? Thank you. That will be all.
