They have been performing with Ali Campbell's UB40

His sister said he recorded an entire alternative take of PURPLE RAIN as a reggae album, at Channel One. It is locked in his vault. It will be titled JAH RAIN. Looking fwd to WHEN RASTA CRIES, and LET'S GO TO AFRICA, and of course the title track.

Hey vlad, where did you get this information? Can't seem to read anything about this.

Sorry, I thought it was obvious. It's a joke. Maybe not so funny. No harm or disrespect intented. Love Prince, I don't think he was connecting much to reggae. Honestly, I think he wanted more complexity in the instrumentation. A couple Prince tracks people think has a reggae vibe:

And one with clear reggae vibes: BLUE LIGHT. He even says "everything will be all right". Listen to the drums. Doing the Barrett thing.
