It’s not an understatement when I tell you that Prince’s “Purple Rain” soundtrack changed my life after it came out 40 years ago on June 25, 1984.

I wore that vinyl out after I scraped my coins together and bought it — and probably had to sneak it into the house.

Before you even got to the music, Prince, in all his purple glory on his purple motorcycle, looked like the flyest, funkiest man I had ever seen.



But then there was the music, which was nothing short of revolutionary — from “Let’s Go Crazy” to “When Doves Cry” to, of course, the...

Prince’s ‘Purple Rain’ turns 40 — and we celebrate with the ultimate soundtrack playlist

Happy 40th Anniversary to The Time’s third studio album Ice Cream Castle, originally released July 2, 1984. Here’s a riddle for you. When is a Prince album not a Prince album? And when is an album by The Time not really an album by The Time? It seems that thanks to the 2019 offering by Prince’s Estate in the form of Originals, the answer lays somewhere in between, especially when it comes to The Time’s landmark 1984 album, Ice Cream Castle.

On June 26, 1977, famed singer Elvis Presley performed his very last live concert before his death on August 16, just a few months later. The final concert was just like any other Elvis Presley concert. The King arrived on the stage at Market Square Arena in Indianapolis, Indiana. Neither Presley nor his fans knew that the set would mark the end of an important era in rock and roll history.

On This Day: Elvis Presley Performs His Final Concert in 1977

Otis Redding, also known as the King of Soul, was on an upward trajectory in his music career when it was cut short due to his untimely death at just 26 years old. Redding recorded his first single, “These Arms of Mine,” in 1962, and the song catapulted to the No. 20 position on the R&B music charts the following year. His success gave way to more opportunities, and he was able to reach a broader audience. Initially, Redding performed small-scale gigs in the South to a predominantly Black audience, but his incredible talent and charisma soon made him popular with the white crowd.
