The Color Purple - The Color Purple (musical) - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Based on the best-selling, Pulitzer Prize-winning 1982 novel by Alice Walker and its subsequent 1985 film adaptation, The Color Purple musical entered the cultural consciousness in the mid-2000s, picking up eleven Tony Award nominations in 2006 while a Broadway revival opened in late 2015 and scooped two 2016 Tony Awards. With music and lyrics by Brenda Gordon Russell, Allee Willis, and Stephen Bray, the soundtrack for The Color Purple musical complements the narration and cast, led by multiple award winners Jennifer Hudson, Cynthia Erivo, and Danielle Brooks. "The Color Purple" is sung by Jennifer Hudson as protagonist Shug Avery for the Cast Recording of the revival, produced by Broadway Records. The Color Purple later found new life as a film directed by Blitz Bazawule in 2023, with an alternative soundtrack album, The Color Purple (Music From and Inspired By), also emerging to supplement the official soundtrack.
