Alan Light, former writer for Rolling Stone, editor-in-chief of
Vibe and Spin magazines, and author of The Holy or the Broken,
"gets inside Prince's mind palace in Let's Go Crazy, a history of
the making of his historic, semi-autobiographical musical
masterwork, Purple Rain" (Vanity Fair). Purple Rain is a song, an
album, and a film, widely considered to be among the most important
albums in music history and often named the best soundtrack of all
time. It sold over a million copies in its first week of release in
1984 and blasted to #1 on the charts, where it would remain for a
full six months and eventually sell over 20 million copies
worldwide. It spun off three huge hit singles, won Grammys and an
Oscar, and took Prince from pop star to legend, the first artist
ever simultaneously to have the #1 album, single, and movie in the
country. In Let's Go Crazy, acclaimed music journalist Alan Light
takes a timely look at the making and incredible popularizing of
this once seemingly impossible project. With impeccable research
and in-depth interviews with people who witnessed and participated
in Prince's audacious vision becoming a reality, Light reveals how
a rising but not yet established artist from the Midwest was able
not only to get Purple Rain made, but deliver on his promise to
conquer the world. "A must-read for the Prince die-hards who have
remained devoted through the musical meanderings of the last three
decades" (Kirkus Reviews), Let's Go Crazy examines how the
masterpiece that blurred R&B, pop, dance, and rock sounds
altered the recording landscape and became an enduring touchstone
for successive generations of fans.
