Which 'Purple Rain' single features Prince in a duet with Apollonia?
Answer
Take Me with U
Answer
Take Me with U
The “Purple Rain” single featuring Prince in a duet with Apollonia is “Take Me with U.”
Prince wrote and produced the song for the 1984 album Purple Rain, performing it with his band the Revolution. Apollonia Kotero shares the lead vocal, making it one of the soundtrack’s clearest musical links between Prince’s character and Apollonia’s character in the film.
The song was originally intended for Apollonia 6, the girl group associated with Kotero, but Prince moved it onto the Purple Rain soundtrack. Adding the track also required changes to the album’s extended “Computer Blue” sequence. An early version had been planned with Vanity, who left the film project before production.
“Take Me with U” became the final U.S. single released from Purple Rain. Its single edit was shorter than the album version, and the release paired it with an edited “Baby I’m a Star.” The other options are also Purple Rain songs, but none is a Prince-Apollonia duet.
