The 1984 film entitled Purple Rain didn't even scratch the surface in terms of a viable biography. Young Purple wasn't built in a day let alone a couple of hours.

Multiple instruments, a silky falsetto and that dramatic visual aesthetic. The trappings of fame are no match for hard work, laser focus, blinding confidence and an unflinching resolve.
