Did this happen? If so, do you have a source I could read? I know she had a first-grade meltdown when she was refused admission backstage at a Wham concert in ‘84 or ‘85 (or ‘86?).

From what I’ve read, it seemed Prince had a crush on Stevie, wanted her in his orbit. Their flirtation/possible romantic relationship spanned a year or two…from 1982-84 ish. Prince gave her the backing track to what became “Purple Rain,” but she couldn’t “dream” up lyrics and a melody over the top of it.

Independent of Stevie, Christine once cited “Raspberry Beret” as one of her all-time favorite songs that she listened to obsessively.
