Answer: Prince

Released in the U.S. in 1990, "Graffiti Bridge" is the sequel to 1984's "Purple Rain", though it never became as successful. The Kid (Prince) and Morris (Morris Day) are still rivals. When The Kid puts up his share of the club they co-own on a bet to see who can write the best song, Morris agrees.

The Kid sits under an old bridge and meets an 'angel-like' woman name Aura. Morris is back to his antics and tries to take Aura away from The Kid (like he did with Appollonia in "Purple Rain"). Aura dies in the end, which gives The Kid his groove back.

When Morris hears the ballad he wrote, he lets The Kid keep the club.
