- Purple Rain’, Purple Rain (1984) Written by Prince; performed by Prince and The Revolution. When it comes to the fine art of album tracklisting, one of the best decisions ever made was to close out Prince’s seminal 1984 album, ‘Purple Rain’, with the eponymous eight minute and 41 second gospel rock opus (replete with echo drums to bring tears to your eyes).
