The track is taken from "Purple Rain" which is one of my two favourite albums of all time.
Purple Rain the album was released on June 25th. Purple Rain the movie was released on July 27th in the USA and on August 31st here in Ireland.
I had seen a feature on Prince on some TV programme (I think it was on BBC 2) before any of this happened and I was really looking forward to the movie release. But when I first heard "Doves Cry" I was completely blown away. It truly is a work of genius.
There is some interesting background information on the album here.
