Prince worried that he'd stolen much of this song from Journey's hit "Faithfully," so he called Journey's keyboardist Jonathan Cain, who'd written that song, to ask for permission before releasing "Purple Rain." Cain happily absolved Prince of any guilt.

Is purple rain in a minor key? because all sad tunes like purple rain are in minor a key
Prince will never be forgotten :'(

I know you probably don't read any of your comments on old videos... So, uh, when you first started playing the song it invoked (evoked?) so many emotions. Purple Rain is such a brilliantly beautiful, bittersweet, and emotionally driven song. And those opening chords are so iconic that you immediately FEEL something whenyou hear them. Thanks for helping people play these wonderful songs Mr. HDpiano. Also, the purple rain album is so well produced as whole...

I don’t always reach comments on old videos, but when I do, I love when they’re comments like this. Cheers to you Ripley! 🙏🏻❤️ - Mr. HDpaino 😉
By far the best instuctor out of all the ones I've come across just to learn how to play this particular song. Although I've never played the keyboard nor do I know anything about playing music. I do, however know how to at least play this song now thanks to this guy!
Amazing way to honor prince.

Thank you. Unfortunately, I don't have twitter, so I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed. :)
I was taking lessons on you tube before I moved & haven't restarted yet however I walked into my home like many occasions wishing that I knew how to play my baby grand & it hit me....it's Friday night.....nothing to do.....a glass of wine & lern to play a Prince song. I youtubes & wallah there you were. Thank you! Huge bummer though. I am on the first verse & my hands are way tooooo small. This is a very bad way to start my first song that I ever try to learn. Putple Rain may end up being my unicorn song. I am very sad right now. I thought I had a great Friday night planned to tackle it. Plan B....half glass full. Gotta figure out a plan B though :-P. Normally I have waaaaay too much to do & too many things to say no to. I have 1 night off with actually nothing to do which is a rarety.....oh the possibilities. Maybe I should pick a doable song. I need a lifeline person to ask. Anyone know of a song better suited for small hands :-P.
