You sonds like smashbuckle dude he is right Morris E Day didn't get the credit he deserves so kill that noise or we've been hearing about is pressed what's the deserted credit he deserved to kill that noise! @@allenscott68
Dec 1985, what I call a real hit when this was heard in Birmingham Alabama on the radio station being 5 at that time. Morris helped me of what color of success meant to me and been such a fan of him when he was with the Time and discovered by Prince. Good thing Warner was great with all three of the Minneapolis funksters.
If you remember the 80's you must have been standing still. I worked to dance. And yes the military was good for that. Every night made every morning very hard, but I wouldn't trade the life for anything.
This is the "VERY FIRST " time I've seen this video. Now I know why this Raw-ass, Straight Playa Album didn't go Double or Triple Platinum as (It) should have!!!!!!!!!! I still give It 🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙
Most people focus on the bigger songs like Purple Rain, The Bird, Oak Tree and Fish Net. But this song shows just how well Morris could sing, give it a listen Morris Day fans.
Look, although I'm from the 305, I was in Cali in 1985 and part of '86 when this Album came out and, I tell you, " EVERY HOOD" in Diego was bumping the Hell out of this shit. Thus, making Morris Day the Money Making Motivator of the Motha/F'n Year!
I remember this jamm when I worked processing mail on a letter sorting machine. The beat of the song was in exact sync. with the letters coming through the machine! Helped keep me awake during those many graveyard shifts!! HARD to believe that was already 30 years ago!! Wowww listening to this I can still see that stream of letters going through the machine.
OMG, I worked on that same machine at the main post office GPO James Farley Station on 34th Street New York,N.Y. opposite of Penn Station. Radio City Unit 10019. from 10PM-6AM, Had many songs keep me awake on that hypnotizing machine !! The good old days because that LSM has been extinct for decades now. Anyon curious about it can look it up I'm sure. Still listening to that FINE MORRIS DAY IN OCTOBER 2109!!!!
Man I was only still 5 yrs old when this song came out on this month (Dec) 1985 I remember hearing this song on the radio while being at home with my mom Somehow the success were very colorful whenever you play this Morris Day title hit that makes you wanna dance 💿📺🎧

Morris Day solo! It wasn't his fault he was a hit! It just happened !!!! He really is the color of success!!! He isn't boring!!! Yeah,gigolos get lonely too!
The jam! This came out when I was a freshman in high school. During lunch time on Fridays, we had DJs spinning during lunch...oh man when this song came on...erebody was gettin it in. I'm talking mid stream while walking we would freeze, drop our books, and break in to getting our groove on. Teachers would pass us by laughing or shaking their heads at us LOL... Wow, we were really lucky back then to have such great music! Miss those days...
Hell Yeah!! Yupp!! That's right! That's how it was, I can remember that too. A remeniscence bringing and still living in me, fountain of youth I feel lucky to have been around living in the days the same. Right on!!
Of Course the Classic Man Morris Daaay !! Get on Down Ain't Nobody Bad Like Him Much Respect Love Always and Peace Be With You Morris don't Stop The Jams You're Too Cool. Timeless Talented Gentleman.
@@estrella-h9l7r simp isn’t really new it’s always been a slang that was recently picked up by the new generation. there lots of forgotten slangs waiting to be opened
To me..He is the PURPLE ONE alter ego..prince was very recluse..morris was out there..that whole conglomerate gave us pop hits...do your research....much respect to paisley park....
I saw a G. I've seen it all. Dope describes my rhymes, making all you MCS cold drop like dimes. You know MCSC is back again, and battling me on the microphone is like committing a sin. Scott/MCSC
Morris has some very unique quality sounds^In a Category by Himself^Very multi Talented^And his Slow music rocks smoothly Quiet Storm Also^Top Rate Morris Day & The Time^
Underrated Morris Day my boy he can sing everybody it's on my principal what about any more Z day is a great singer and he's been underrated put down shut down what he keep his head up gomo
Man I Havent Heard This One Since The Good Ole Days When I Listened To West Virginia Public Radio For My House Music. I Believe It Was Stuart Wynn Who Hosted The Radio Station My God This Brings Back Good Memories.
+Robert Byrd Sunday nights. "Black Beat with Stu (Stew?) Wynn." I think that was the only way to hear black music on the radio in Charleston at that time. lol
my jam right here. Morris' solo works really were pretty good if you ask me. No they werent the quality of Prince, or of The Time, but i didnt and dont need them to be. Still holding up after all these years too.
The worst part of getting old is remembering we were once young! This was the sh!t!
Morris is the man I don't think he ever got the credit he deserves
Zulu swashbuckler.
Joseph fincham him getting honored at the soul train awards is definitely a good start though‼️
You sonds like smashbuckle dude he is right Morris E Day didn't get the credit he deserves so kill that noise or we've been hearing about is pressed what's the deserted credit he deserved to kill that noise! @@allenscott68
Yes ✨
True this cut was him for real. But number one in the end 2024 ahhhhh maybe how prince's put them all together to make yep
Dec 1985, what I call a real hit when this was heard in Birmingham Alabama on the radio station being 5 at that time.
Morris helped me of what color of success meant to me and been such a fan of him when he was with the Time and discovered by Prince.
Good thing Warner was great with all three of the Minneapolis funksters.
I remember back in 1986 I just turned 20 years old. Nothing like the old school music
I swear I believe Bruno mars took this man's style to the t!clothes,hair,swagger,dance...all morris
corey maxwell sr. I think the same
corey maxwell sr. He did
Bruno Mars is not Morris Day Morris day at school based on self you just don't want to show that man love and respect
I. Thought he copy. Elvis Presley
I need a time machine so I can go back to the 80’s. Morris is the man full of confidence and class. ❤️
It was a great time to be alive and young. Had a two seater sports car and kept this song on repeat. The whole album actually.
Damn I wish we still had music this good. God Bless you Morris Day.
to be honest, im glad we dont. just for the fact that we can value all of the great music of the past to the absolute max.
lia exlemus prince didn’t write this- This was Morris’ solo work. He wrote & produced his own music at this point.
Emill Shavoz we do
My sister that passed away in 2019 used to really really like this song
Beautiful song ✨
For all the women who didn't give Morris Day his credit he deserve that's why he made this song
My childhood was great because of great music like this i got a chance to grow up to.
Maaan if u remembers the 80s you had a great time in your life..music then was awesome..classic Morris Day
WE wouldn't be HERE if it WASNOT WAS .............
MissAnn Runnels hell yes !!!!!!!!!

If you remember the 80's you must have been standing still. I worked to dance. And yes the military was good for that. Every night made every morning very hard, but I wouldn't trade the life for anything.

Solid! Morris is the most underrated and creative people in music!
the quality of this makes it feel like one of those things that come on tv at like 2 am
‘Gratefully strong, and proud to be me. Play to win. That is the Colour of Success.’
Coolest singer ever Morris Day ladies show him some love he wrote this song!

Color of Success Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Patience gone
Time to move along
No one to blame
It is time to win
Don't criticize
Try to realize
I am number one in the end, oh, I
[Chorus]
Play to win
That's the color, the color of success
I play to win, oh, I
Play to win
There's no other, color of success
I play to win, oh, I
[Verse 2]
Free as a bird
It is time to spread the word
Dark weather's gone
The sun is shining
First, understand
I'm not your typical man
Shrewd, I'm the kind
You can't deny me, oh, I
[Chorus]
Play to win
That's the color, the color of success
I play to win, oh, I
Play to win
There is no other, color of success
I play to win, oh, I
[Interlude]
And the cow was returned to its rightful owner
In today's entertainment news, Morris Day
Famous singer of that popular rock group
Won't be saying "What time is it?" anymore
As you know, the group is no longer together
The question that most people seem to be asking
Is "What will Morris do now?"
What am I gon' do? (Play)
Color of success
Color of success
[Chorus]
Play to win
That's the color, the color of success
I play to win, oh, I
Play to win
There is no other, color of success
I play to win, oh, I
[Verse 3]
Don't take me wrong by the words of my song
Bitterness gone, it's behind me
Fresh, picturesque at my very best
Gracefully strong, and proud to be me, oh
[Interlude]
Topping the hour's news, this music update
What seemingly had turned to stone for Morris Day has turned to gold
Or even Platinum once again
As he takes on his new life pursuing a solo career
Which includes records and movies
Hm, the future is indeed bright for Morris
[Chorus]
Play to win
That's the color, the color of success
I play to win, oh, I
Play to win
There is no other, color of success
I play to win, oh, I
[Post-Chorus]
If I wanna make love sometimes
It's alright, it's my life
I play to win, oh I
If I wanna get crazy sometimes
It's alright, it's my life
I play to win, I
If I wanna make love sometimes
It's alright, it's my life
I play to win, oh I
If I wanna get crazy sometimes
It's alright, it's my life
And I play to win, I, I, I
[Refrain]
If I wanna make love sometimes
It's alright, it's my life
I play to win, oh I
If I wanna get crazy sometimes
It's alright, it's my life
I play to win, I, I
[Outro]
If I wanna make love sometimes
It's alright, it's my life
It's my life
If I wanna get crazy sometimes
It's alright, it's my life
It's my life
If I wanna make love sometimes
It's alright, it's my life
If I wanna get crazy sometimes
It's alright, it's my life
The COLORS of my success are all the colors of a rainbow!!
