And over the years, even as other songs like "Purple Rain" have become more synonymous with Prince's legacy, the impact of "When Doves Cry" is undeniable. Take it from no less an authority on pop music than Madonna, who credits the song with helping her escape from some of the hardest parts of her struggling, pre-fame life.

Prince's "When Doves Cry” was another song | used to escape into when it first came out. By then | did have a record contract, and | had moved to a nice loft on Broome and West Broadway. But there was still no elevator, 5ol had to walk up six flights of steps to get to my loft. | rode my bike everywhere, with a Walkman and headphones on, and one hot summer day | came in and I just couldnit carry my bike up those stairs one more time. | was hating my family and my life at the time, and I just collapsed in the stairwell with that song playing in my headphones, crying my heart out and feeling incredibly sorry for myself.
