   "When Doves Cry" had a sonic landscape that would change the sound of radio — hit songs today still mimic the sound of its production. And then there's the lyrics, seen here in Prince's own hand (the opening line in purple pen, no less!) which clearly kept their meaning to him as the song remained a staple of his live shows for decades. Though it's perhaps meaningful that, to my knowledge, he never performed the song in its entirety again after the passing of his parents.
