40 years ago today (3/31/86), Prince released Parade—his fourth album and the final credited to The Revolution. Created as the soundtrack to Under the Cherry Moon, the record captures a moment of transition, bridging the colorful psychedelia of Around the World in a Day and the stark, genre-defying ambition of Sign o’ the Times. Widely acclaimed upon release, Parade is best known to casual listeners for the chart-topping hit “Kiss.“ Watch Prince & The Revolution live in 1986..
