- Michael Gallucci
- Don Henley "The Boys of Summer" Don Henley's social consciousness sprouted on Eagles' Hotel California closing "The Last Resort." By the time of his second solo album, he grew more reflective, too, shying away from his band's tales of excess and Hollywood debauchery.
- Prince, "When Doves Cry" Purple Rain was the first Prince album to give co-credit to his band the Revolution, but the record's first single, "When Doves Cry," was strictly a solo track credited to only Prince (just like all of his preceding singles).
- Prince and the Revolution, "Purple Rain" The closing title song on Prince's masterpiece Purple Rain, clocking in at nearly nine minutes on the album, was recorded live in his hometown of Minneapolis in August 1983.
- Prince and the Revolution, "Let's Go Crazy" The first song on Prince's summer-dominating Purple Rain soundtrack was designed as an album opener.
