Worried He Accidentally RIPPED OFF Epic Song--He Called Band…Here’s What They Said-Professor of Rock

After this rookie hit the top 10 for the first time in 1983 he was ready to take his place amongst the legends with his follow-up… Prince Rogers Nelson otherwise known as just Prince created something that he wasn’t really comfortable doing. Writing a big stadium power ballad. He actually saw Bob Seger inspire a crowd doing one of his own classics and was intrigued, believing he could write a great one. He worked up a demo and it was 10 minutes long. Then he sent it to Stevie Nicks and asked her to write lyrics… she was too overwhelmed thinking she’d ruin the song. Then when he finally finished playing one of the best guitar solos of the decade he was worried he might’ve ripped it off Journey’s recent big ballad Faithfully. So he actually called Journey and asked them to listen to it. They were so mesmerized by this that they told him to run with it. It became the power ballad of 1984 and one that would push him to the apex of all of music. Up next through interview and story the tale Purple Rain!

One that went all the way to #2. It should’ve been a #1 hit. So let's induct it into the Professor or Rock Hall of Fame and king it #1 all these years later. Let’s immerse ourselves in Prince’s signature composition, I’m talking about Purple Rain. IT’S ONE OF THOSE all-time head-scratchers. I mean Prince had two #1 hits from the #1 album, how did Purple Rain come up short? That’s how great 1984 was. Actually, the song that kept Purple Rain at bay for two weeks was What with Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go. The genesis of Purple Rain was conceived from a simple observation. While Prince was on tour during 82 & 83, he often crisscrossed paths with Bob Seger in arenas throughout America’s heartland. One night, Prince asked his keyboardist Matt Fink why he thought the Detroit rocker had such appeal. Fink considered the question and said it was Seger’s powerhouse ballads like “We’ve Got Tonight” that kept his fans coming back for more. Fink then suggested that Prince should try his hand at writing that kind of anthem. He needed a song that would reach new fans!
