Bruce Springsteen Pays Tribute To Prince With 'Purple Rain' Performance
. This past week, at New York's Barclays Center, he opened his show with a cover of Prince's "Purple Rain." Springsteen and Prince started their careers in the '70s, but became pop superstars in the '80s; in the summer of 1984, both artists had hugely successful albums: Springsteen with Born in the U.S.A. and Prince with Purple Rain.

The article went on to say that the two artists occasionally exchange notes; in recalling a Springsteen concert he saw from backstage, Prince said, "I admire the way he holds his audience -- there's one man whose fans I could never take away."
