I don't know about y'all, but I'm rather stunned that Stevie was first given the instrumental track for "Purple Rain" before Prince turned it into his most beloved song. Stunned. Had Stevie actually co-written and recorded her version of this song, she could have changed the course of music history as we know it. She would have had this epic, monster hit, or Prince would have never rocketed to superstardom. The mind boggles at what Stevie could have done with this.
