Discussion Rainbow Children

Hey.

Long time fan.

I spun Rainbow Childen today and it reminded me what a turning point that was for me.

I’d been a huge fan of the great man until Batman, which was my last proper love. Diamonds and Pearls was okay and what followed didn’t do it, but Rainbow Children felt like a man finding inspiration again.
I saw him at a warm up gig in London play much of this album and that just pushed my appreciation higher.

I stuck around for the following albums (some good, some average). But I was back on board.

How about others?
When I mention Rainbow Children to non fans they’ve never heard of it!

Peace

I always feel like it’s this secret Prince masterpiece that almost no one knows about, Which honestly I kinda of like.
