@therevolution @vickinorby Hearing When Doves Cry when I was a little girl in 1984 I remember it so well. I was kinda scared & yet amazed by the song. It was just something I never heard before. Prince created his own lane with his music.💜🕊
@therevolution @anildash Damn I'm old!😳
@therevolution I was already an obsessed Prince fan. With ☔ I became an insane fan! My musical world was rocked to the core. I haven't been the same since 😍💜💜💜
@therevolution Just obsessed with the arrangement of The Beautful Ones. Listened to that shit over and over.
@therevolution @PrinceNewsRIP June 25th is also the date Prince signed with Warner Brothers in 1977. Moreover, it is the date of Michael Jackson’s death in 2009.
@therevolution Went by myself to see the movie because I HAD to see it opening night. Was living in LA, saw movie in Westwood right before the start of the '84 Olympics. I was floating when I came out of the movie!
@therevolution I remember seeing the video for #WhenDovesCry the very first time and absolutely loved it from GO!!! Miss the magic and the #genius of the #PurpleOne every day!!!
@therevolution Didn’t know it at the time, but I was at the show @FirstAvenue when some of the live stuff was recorded (not filmed). Crazy. I wish I could remember more about the show. I still can’t believe he’s gone.
@therevolution I remember being taken to see it the 1st time, with My Duquesne University Man, completely directing My path!💜🎶💜🎸💜
@therevolution Hearing When Doves Cry for the first time & being absolutely blown away.. loved #Prince from that moment onwards x
@therevolution I was 7. My older sisters had the cassette tape & I LOVVVED Prince. I thought the Revolution was the coolest band EVER. Such style/presence! We wore the cassette tape out driving all over TX that summer. In my mind, I can still hear where the tape warped on the soundtrack.💜😁
@therevolution 👁️ have no idea of how many times 👁️went 2 C it, but the girl N the tix booth began 2 recognize me, and would say, "U AGAIN???" hater 🤣 When my friends got N2 my car they'd ask "can u play something else”? My answer was always, " NOPE" 💜💜💜💜💜
@therevolution Attending the 1st showing, following the premier. I had never heard singing in a movie theater before. It was AWESOME!
@therevolution Sensational album, band and front man! Couldn't take my eyes off of Prince on our UK screens and still can't! 💜😍😊
@therevolution I was 19 and one of my friends bought it the first week it came out. A bunch of chilled at his house smoking weed and listening to it over and over. When Doves Cry was already on the radio, but Darling Nikki and The Beautiful Ones were cuts that jumped out at me.
@therevolution Getting to see you in concert in 1985 in Hartford CT..played the show,encores,then went off stage the lights came up and their couldn't have been more than 50 people left in arena..the lights went back down and he came out and did more songs..i was right at the stage..
@therevolution My favorite songs are Let's go crazy When Doves Cry I would die 4 u baby I'm a star purple rain
@therevolution The tour was my first Prince tour and it’s still a cherished memory and the singles offered one of my favorite B-sides. #alc
@therevolution "When Doves Cry" is one of my favorite songs on the Purple Rain album! I remember when I first watched the video back in the 80's I was blown away! #Prince #WhenDovesCry #PurpleRain
@therevolution @RamsHeadLive Being underage to see a "R" rated movie & sneaking in with my older cousin w/o our parents knowing. Man those were the days🥰
@therevolution I remember MTV being at the premiere and seeing Prince wearing his purple jacket carrying a long srem flower and Big Chick walking next 2 him. The music holds up 2 this day and always will. That's why it is part of the national film registry. ✌🏾♊
@therevolution @TheNationalRVA Omg so many memories! My best friend & I, doing the "When Doves Cry" dance lol, we were obsessed with the movie, the album, PRINCE!!! It rained for 3 days straight here after he passed 😔💔😢 RIP sweet Prince 🙏💜🙏
@therevolution I was 15 when I went to purple rain tour in Detroit prince and the Revolution was for 7days I'm 50 years old happy anniversary 36 year's my poster God bless forever and always from John
@therevolution When he told apollonia that she had to purify herself in lake minnetonka she did so & then he let her know that it wasn't lake minnetonka she had just jumped in lmao
@therevolution I have the original concert program Tickets to the show in Philly Spectrum. Original album release on vinyl. Prized possessions!
@therevolution @PrinceWatchUK "You got a girlfriend"? "Yeah I got a girlfriend". "You gonna get married"? "I Don't Know". "NEVER GET MARRIED" The look on Prince face when his father said that is priceless.
@therevolution Getting the opportunity to hear ‘Take Me With U’, ‘When Doves Cry’, ‘The Beautiful Ones’ and ‘Purple Rain’ Live. 🌟🎉🎸🎤 #PurpleRain

@therevolution I love the Purple Rain album! It is a great soundtrack to the 1984 film! I listen to it all the time on Prince birthday and throughout the year! I love every song! Prince killed it with "The Beautiful Ones"! 💜☔️ #Prince #PurpleRain
@therevolution @BobbyZ1999 1) I had to replace the cassette about 4 times 2) I became very good at quickly turning down "Darling Nikki" when I thought I heard my mom on the stairs 😆 3) It's still a masterpiece 36 years later
@therevolution the soundtrack of my freshman year in college. my roommate played her record till the grooves wore out. still stunning. thank you. we miss you, prince.
