Stevie Nicks Said No to This Song | Purple Rain Origin

Описание: Purple Rain of Prince Was Never Supposed to Sound Like This. What if I told you the greatest power ballad of the 80s was originally written for Fleetwood Mac? In the summer of 1983, Prince wasn't just trying to write a hit…. he was trying to become a myth. He was standing on a precipice with a movie script everyone thought would fail and a budget that was running out. He needed a finale. He needed a miracle. And he didn't find it in a polished studio. He found it on a sweaty stage in Minneapolis, in one take, while the tape rolled.

In this video, we’re digging deep into the impossible history of “Purple Rain.” From the demo that terrified Stevie Nicks to the shimmering chords Wendy Melvin added in a warehouse rehearsal, we uncover how this song went from a country dirge to a rock and roll hymn.
