I remember when that album came out. I know many people didn't care much for Prince but he was a very talented musician and a very overlooked guitar player.
It seems like yesterday I was cruising around in my 1969 Buick Skylark with Doves Cry blaring through my Pioneer speakers. Good times.

Yes, Prince was very good. Writer, singer, musician and dancer. It was his dancing that killed him. And it really wasn't even needed. The music would have stood on it's own, but he wanted the fans to have the full show.
Not very long after I got out of the Navy in '83 I got hooked up with a married woman. {crazy ass girl really. I was only 22 myself} Purple Rain got to be our song. We had an off and on relationship until I got married 8 years later. I never knew when she would show up, but it was always interesting times when she was around. Anytime I hear Purple Rain, it reminds me of her.

Clarence White was the guitarist that wowed a huge section of musicians in the day. Still referred to by many as "best ever". Was particularly known for his acoustic dread naught flat picking and inventing the b bender guitar along with Gene Parsons. Marty Stuart still owns the original b bender.
He wasn't with The Byrds yet at the time of that recording however, joining in a revamped Byrds with Gene Parsons, Skip Battin, and last original member Roger McGuinn much later.
