Randy Crawford - Purple Rain

Recorded 1995
PURPLE RAIN
I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted one time see you laughing
I only wanted hear you laughing in my purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
I only wanna see you laughing in my purple rain
I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I just wanna be some kind of friend
And baby I could never steal you from another
It's such a shame our friendship had to end
Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
I only wanna see you laughing in the purple rain
Honey I know, I know, I know that times are changing
It's time we all reach out for something new
That means you too
You say you want to be a leader
But you can't seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
And let me guide you to the purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
I wanna see you
I wanna see you laughing in the purple rain
Just want to see you there, in the purple rain
Just want to hear you laughing in the purple rain
Just want to hear you laughing in the purple rain

I met Randy 16 years ago in med school. My heart was in pieces. Her music resonated in the chords of my ventricles and injected the much needed healing. Purple rain squeezed my lacrimals, tears welled down my cheeks. I held back the years, and made a wish upon a star. I knocked on heaven's door, and 5 years ago, she 'came into my life'. What a difference a day makes? Thanks Randy.

[@paulinhocorrea8705]

You are blessed.

[@dwaynebaker6510]

It's a shame that the U S. audience does not acknowledge this woman's natural gift. She has a bigger fan base overseas, and they give her the prop's she deserves. SHE'S GOT PROP's from me as long as she still sings.

[@59sallyb]

OMG this 61 year old white Minnesota born gal has all her albums!

[@agyemanboaten4385]

We are generally more sophisticated than the average American. Sounds snobbish but that is my experience over the last 40 years.

[@patriciagoodwin5093]

I went to high school with her brother Jerome. Randy her voice is outstanding

[@pbenson56fran]

I must say I've loved her every since the 80s.....

[@kindayounggiftedandblack13]

It will Never be clear to me why the incredible talent of Ms. Randy Crawford was/is immediately recognized and celebrated outside of the U.S., but the U.S. pretty much ignored her as an Artist.

[@sipokazimanda9303]

I'm in South Africa and this gorgeous lady's music raised a lot of us!! Still listening to her more than thirty years later😀😀

[@weston2100]

Main stream music industry don't promote those who decline to toll their line. Ms. Crawford is in her own talent league!

[@BBsteve919]

[@selmaolsen5556]

I love your voice, it is one in a million, and your songs touches my heart. I can listen to you all day. I learn to love your voice the day I for the first time heard you at your concert in Tromsoe, Norway many years ago. God bless you Randy Crawford.

[@trw5653]

This gets better on every listening, Randy covers this song perfectly.

[@mozam688]

HER VOICE..WHOA

[@neverbornneverdie2907]

Randy, Jerry Butler, how their voices got better and better is just incredible. Ms Randy is just as true as a bell crafted in Heaven.

[@casey2music4love]

Soulful and beautiful jazz version

[@Clarkish]

One of the best voices of our time. That tone, that agility, that timing. Brilliant. Prince would love this.

[@spiceshabalala3416]

I've always thought Purple Rain should never ever be attempted by anyone other than Prince. But I must say Randy Crawford did justice to it. I like I like I like.

[@charlottevictoria.hubbard7472]

[@bms8360]

The best there is...Miss Randy Crawford...

[@karesiacassis4429]

She’s amazing

[@steelydan9322]

Magnificent

[@Jj-ty7qh]

Everything she sings is just breathtaking. The only artist I know who can sing any song and improve on the original regardless of the singer. I’ve always though5 certain artists like Marvin Gaye or prince could never be attempted let alone matched or bettered but this later does all of the above. What a rendition

[@shaddoe6]

wow...just...wow

[@nanemotta3430]

Meu Deus. Absurdo a maravilha que canta

[@airbrat]

Damn, smooth as silk.

[@11hereandnow11]

The Queen of jazz. My beautiful Queen blow.

[@marcelo5977]

Com todo respeito ao Prince,mas Randy Crawford atingiu a perfeição cantando essa música!!!

[@conishkee]

Dang, this rendition of Purple Rain is better than Prince's to me. Good grief, I loved it, very smooth!

[@John-gt5ku]
