According to his former manager Bob Cavallo, in the early 1980s Prince required his management to obtain a deal for him to star in a major motion picture, despite the fact that his exposure at that point was limited to several pop and R&amp;B hits, music videos and occasional TV performances. This resulted in the hit film "Purple Rain" (1984), which starred Prince and was loosely autobiographical, and the eponymous studio album, which was also the soundtrack to the film. The "Purple Rain" album sold more than 13 million copies in the US and spent 24 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the "Billboard" 200 chart. The film won Prince an Academy Award for Best Original Song Score and grossed over $68 million in the US ($ million in dollars). Songs from the film were hits on pop charts around the world; "When Doves Cry" and "Let's Go Crazy" reached No. 1, and the title track reached No. 2 on the "Billboard" Hot 100. At one point in 1984, Prince simultaneously had the No. 1 album, single, and film in the US; it was the first time a singer had achieved this feat. The "Purple Rain" album is ranked 8th in "Rolling Stone"s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time; it is also included on the list of "Time" magazine's All-Time 100 Albums. The album also produced two of Prince's first three Grammy Awards earned at the 27th Annual Grammy Awards—Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media.
