Released in 1980, the LM-1 was the first programable unit that used real samples, not synthesized sounds.\n--\nOn the Purple Rain tour, this was a showcase song for Sheila E., who served as Prince's opening act and also joined him on stage. Her live percussion on \"I Would Die 4 U\" compensated for the beats that couldn't be generated outside of the studio.\n--\nWatch the official video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVEFRQavTNI", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
