Yes 777-9311 is indeed unbelievable funky and the greatest funk groove I'd ever heard when I first heard it! No surprise it was written by the one & only Prince, the greatest musician that ever lived. Anyway, thanks for this great funky video reaction! Worth mentioning is the American Funk band SLAVE, check them out, songs like "Stone Jam" and "Slide" are timeless Classics in the Funk department!
Cissy Strut by the Meters, it's the OG funky funk, but when everything drops out but the open high hats and bass kicks on the '4 and' Whoooooo!!! that's some stank!
Lol, this is Prince sir. Prince produced, wrote, played, sang. The record only has prince and Morris day on it. The members of the Time were contract employees.
This song ensorcelled me the first time I heard it, it's one of my favorite songs. I was disappointed a demo wasn't included on the Prince "Originals" project. There was a ridiculous amount of talent in Minneapolis during this period.
It probably wasn’t there because the Prince original WAS The Time’s original. He didn’t just write the song, he performed everything on that recording except Morris Day’s vocals.
From out of the Vulfpeck family I discovered Cory Wong -- This is one of the FUNKIEST guitarists playing today -- check this out th-cam.com/video/MT2_7RWOmro/w-d-xo.html (tune is called "Work It Out" featuring Antwaun Stanley on vocals)
Jesse Johnson on Guitar was fantastic! He had a solo career too and kept it going with "Be Your Man" and "I Want My Girl". Little Short Guitar player, make your momma proud!
This is the coolest damn channel on TH-cam!! Not Post Malone and Taylor Swift .... But rather Widespread Panic, Umphreys McGee, and Morris Day and the Time!! 👊🏻🤜🏻💨
This is the song John played to get the gig with Prince. They did a great performance of this song in 2011 on the Welcome 2 Europe tour. John on drums and Prince on bass. It's worth tracking down and checking out.
The reason why that groove is so damned funky - that Linn Drum machine pattern was programmed by David Garibaldi - former drummer of Tower of Power, one of the funkiest bands on the planet!
There is a video of a drummer covering the drums and and hi hat. He was close to Prince at one time. he speaks about 777-9311, using the drum machine. The studio version and the live version. If i remember, jimmy jam or terry lewis played the drums in the studio version. There were 2 versions of the hi hat. The drummer at the time had to learn the play the drum machine version for live concerts. Very interesting, check it out.
Prince played all the instruments on that track. Morris day just sang on top of princes vocals. You can hear prince singing if you listen with headphones. You do know they aren’t playing live on that video, right?
Prince put together The Time and wrote most of their stuff, but they were very talented too. He said they were the only band he was scared of. I think it was around 1999-2000 Prince said he hoped they would get back together so he would have some competition.
Who gives a joint like this to someone else?! How?! Prince is the baddest mf to ever do it! And you’re right, it is the funkiest groove of all time. Best drum track! Best bass line! Best rhythm guitar and riff!
That's my boy Jessie Johnson on the guitar! He's from my home town and used to run around with the musicians my pops hung with! Good pick my man! So, you want some funk eh... check out Mayonnaise by the Headhunters.. my fav funky groove!
@@roderickbyrd8638 you're probably right. He pretty much micro managed and redid 90%of the acts he micro managed. Nothing against prince but Jessie was no slouch tho. Hell of a picker
Wow man, I've been preaching this for years. When I clicked on this I really expected to post 777-9311 in protest but since we're on the same page I'm gonna give you my close seconds. Do Do Wap is Strong in Here - Mayfield & Hang up Your Hangups - Hancock & the Headhunters. Side note, I saw the Time in '03 & it was the funkiest & most fun show ever!
You are not wrong, sir. But for simplicity and raw effectiveness, I’ve always preferred Shining Star as the most effective funk. Just a plain old bass line on one, a-three. That’s all you need. Shining bright to see what we all can truly be.
I agree the syncopation in that song is incredible me as a drummer 10 plus years still struggle to to get that coordination down its not easy takes a lot of time. That's so awesome you like funk man I'm a funk junkie too. Grew up on 90s hip hop from LA and out here in the 90s they were using all these funk tracks made we to learn more about funk so I studied it to the T. We should chat it up some day.
Whoever mentioned Mr. Bungle (can't find comment now) thank you! That takes me way back. Completely forgot about them after I got rid of all my cassette tapes 20 years ago😀
Bernard "Nard" Wright (Bread Sandwiches) Don Blackman - Let Your Conscience Be Your Guide Tom Browne- Come For The Ride Norman Connors -Mr C George Duke-Dukey Stick and last Herbie Hancock-Knee Deep
Couldn’t agree more about how funky this song is. I took lessons from Tori Ruffin who is Morris Day’s current guitarist. When he taught me this song, the chords he taught me were C5, slide to C#5, then A.
Absolutely love Morris Day and the Time and 777-9311 is one super stanky funky tune along with Get it Up. Guitar part in 777-9311 is easy to play but you have to have stamina to keep it tight for the whole cut. All due respect to the Time, but going back to the roots and the blue print of OLDSKOOLFUNK, I got to roll with Sly Stone, James Brown, and PFunk...and even the Shakey Ground Temptations. These groups were all laying down classic grooves, waaaaay before MD and the Time and set the standard for the entire genre...in my opinion. 🤘🏾🤩
I'm a diehard Prince fan, but I have to agree. Despite everything that came after, save for maybe Pfunk, James Brown and Sly remain the funkiest. Poet, Luv N Haight, In Time, Thank You for Talkin To Me.... so far ahead of their time no one ever caught up. JBs Doing it to Death, You Can Have Watergate, I Can't Stand It, Mother Popcorn, Hot Pants Road.... the drummers are just too funky. It's TOO funky. Although Prince does have some genius moments where he approaches that level.
I keep forgettin' by Michael McDonald Chic - everybody dance Brothers Johnson - Strawberry Letter 23 is like funk, disco and hendrix blended together. Sly and the family stone - Thank you for letting me be myself Larry Graham - Hair You can tell that I am a bass player. But the guitar riff on I keep forgettin is awesome too.
Right group, wrong song. Don't get me wrong...'777-9311' is a MONSTER. But 'Get It Up' is probably the funkiest of that era imo. Alot of close seconds though from that time period...'Wait For Me' by Slave, 'Paradise' by Change, 'Funkin For Jamaica' by Tom Browne, 'For Those Who Like To Groove' by Ray Parker Jr & Raydio just to name a few. Sooooooooo many great grooves back then. And if we going further I gotta say Graham Central Station's 'The Jam'.
Try Tower of Power "Vuela por Noche" or "On the Serious Side". Many other TOP funk songs I could mention, but these have some monster complicated funk rhythms. A challenge to pick out guitar part and trying to stay on beat.
Not arguing that the cut is funky but their are so many funky cuts. James Brown - Get on the Good foot, Pfunk - Not Just Knee Deep (the 8 minute version), Pointer Sisters - How Long ( Betcha got a chick on the side), Isley Brothers - That Lady, Cameo - Rigamortis, Brother Johnson - Stomp. PFunk- Cholly. Prince - Gett Off (the remixes), Gwen McCrae - Funky Sensation, The Whispers - Keep on loving me, Envogue- My loving (neva gonna get it)
Thank you so much for bringing this back for me. I loved that song since Day 1, but probably didn't have an adequate appreciation of/reverence for it until now.
First and foremost, thank you for all of your lessons. Especially The Grateful Dead stuff. I've learned a ton from you. Anyway, here are 3 songs from Mr. Bungle off of their first album. All 3 songs are nuts! They are insane with the funk!! 1) Carousel: th-cam.com/video/UnLNXquIBVs/w-d-xo.html 2) Squeeze Me Macaroni th-cam.com/video/I8-UmsgDU6Q/w-d-xo.html 3) Egg th-cam.com/video/km1uWUPQvcs/w-d-xo.html
Tippi-Toes by The Meters is a fun, sorta deep cut that always gets the booty shakin Some bands worth looking into if you dont know them already: The New Mastersounds Lettuce (album after album of amazing funk) The Fearless Flyers (Vulfpeck spinoff with sick grooves) Galactic (Norleans funk, prefer their older albums but it's all good) Jazz is Dead (Jazzed up and funky versions of dead tunes, really love their cover of China Cat Sunflower. Jimmy Herring, Alphonso Johnson, Bruce Cobham, sick lineup!) Greyboy Allstars Some old Robert Randolph live shows from 02 - 05, they killed it everytime I saw him and his band live. Incredible energy and it came through in the music and many more I cant think of at 3 am. Cheers! and enjoy
I'd submit my favorite groove may be Doo Wa Ditty from Zap and Roger. Same era as this and SUPER funky. Another is Now/ At the Party by Maxwell. Your ass will be bouncing 10 seconds in.
My cousin left LA and went to Alabama he left all his tape to me with Zap -the time and many other so you can’t go wrong on anything in that error pure Funk 😷
This is a great groove but of course its a branch off the pfunk tree. Bootsy & GC perfected to the groove before this. Check out the albums Ultra Wave & Sweat Band by Bootsy, (produced by George Clinton) And most grooves by pfunk have an edge on prince and morris day. Still ALL SOOO amazing and a blessing to planet earths rhythm dont get me wrong, I love morris day and zapp and prince but GC & Bootsy had already carved out a deep pocket for groups like this to fall into. deep deep deep. black hole pockets where time has its hand behind its back. Your vids are amazing man, I dig your peceptions, thanks!!
No arguments from me on this one! When you break this track down, you really gain an appreciation for how sick the entire arrangement is. The only other track that comes close is also by Prince. Check out The Dance Electric!
Here’s the winner: th-cam.com/video/mG1RERNw5hs/w-d-xo.html FFWD to 18:36 This used to exist on its own but the copyright folks must have been through recently. This is Prince one plus one plus one is three live from 2002. Off. The. Charts.
This is pretty good. Thanks for the new track to listen to! But recently I found the Bernard purdie sessions with steely Dan and my god. Just check out 'sign in stranger' or 'home at last'. Maaad groove.
Love all kinds of funk. One of my favorite grooves is in the middle of Contact by Phish. Very strange song. Doesn’t start off with even a lick of funk. But give it time and it just hits you with filthiness
Great choice here! I'll take this or PARLIAMENT FUNKADELIC'S "DR. FUNKENSTEIN!" Nothing but a slow, syrapy funk groove! I also like VANITY 6'S " NASTY GIRL" ( ALSO BY PRINCE) and PRINCES "LET'S WORK!" Great video. Great Reaction!
HIT ME WITH YOUR TRACKS!
Starless - King Crimson, they have a live version that is pretty recent. They've changed members throughout the years, but Peter Fripp's guitar sound is immaculate
Try this one out. th-cam.com/video/oDeB7xyj3XU/w-d-xo.html

@@magicman28131 Coming up soon!
@@collerdgreens It's on the list :)
Finally, I've found someone who loves and appreciates the genius of this song. Prince was an alien
The Funkiest Groove Of All Time, Obviously Prince made it!
He made the drum track but not the guitar Freak Juice (Tori) made the guitar track
I love how much you respect this song. Those hi hats are beastly!
prince was ahead of his time pun intended
💯 percent agree. This is one of the funkiest tracks ever. You should hear Morris play this one. He’s on of the only to nail it live.

Lol, this is Prince sir. Prince produced, wrote, played, sang. The record only has prince and Morris day on it. The members of the Time were contract employees.
Yep, this is all Prince
True, but.. Terry Lewis and Jimmy Jam were both very talented producers in their own right. I'm sure their mark is on this song as well.
@@ih8suvs They are super talented but the music you hear on the album is all Prince
Great piece! I agree! The musicianship on 777 is INSANE!!!
I’ll leave this here. Curtis Mayfield, superfly album. Freddy’s Dead.
Outta sight
Agreed
judmckin Pusherman!
Yes that is Hot, but if you want some Curtis Mayfield funk mind fuckery go listen to Short Eyes, amazing track.
Maceo Parker - Shake Everything You Got
Look at his face when he first starts playing the lick. He is into it. SERIOUSLY
The guitar solo is insane. Every time I hear it, I just wonder what he was thinking and feeling to create that solo. Monster!
💯🤘🏿💜 He sounds like he’s going out of his mind
This song ensorcelled me the first time I heard it, it's one of my favorite songs. I was disappointed a demo wasn't included on the Prince "Originals" project. There was a ridiculous amount of talent in Minneapolis during this period.

I love you...white boy got soul
Love The Time. Jerk Out from 1990 was pretty funky... loved the bass line. You were right about those high hats in this performance though. Killer!
As a bassist I am glad my 6 string brethren recognize how funky this song is from every instrument and standpoint
Absolutely the most infectious funk tune ever. Prince took us all to school. Do you teach guitar? I love the funk, rock, pop, and soul of Prince.
From out of the Vulfpeck family I discovered Cory Wong -- This is one of the FUNKIEST guitarists playing today -- check this out th-cam.com/video/MT2_7RWOmro/w-d-xo.html (tune is called "Work It Out" featuring Antwaun Stanley on vocals)
Now you're hitting my childhood! Thank you for this. I foolishly used to dress like that, too.
Jesse Johnson on Guitar was fantastic! He had a solo career too and kept it going with "Be Your Man" and "I Want My Girl". Little Short Guitar player, make your momma proud!
This is the coolest damn channel on TH-cam!!
Not Post Malone and Taylor Swift ....
But rather Widespread Panic, Umphreys McGee, and Morris Day and the Time!!
👊🏻🤜🏻💨
Probably my fave Prince groove. And Prince did everything in the studio version (except lead vocais)
Prince: Guitar, Bass, Keys and drum programming
This has been my #1 most listened to song on Spotify for the last 4 years straight….
This is the song John played to get the gig with Prince. They did a great performance of this song in 2011 on the Welcome 2 Europe tour. John on drums and Prince on bass. It's worth tracking down and checking out.
I also saw Prince play this song on the drums in 2015, but he had to play it with the backing track. 😂🥰
Here's the video from 2011. He takes Ida's bass at the 4:50 mark and they go straight into this song. th-cam.com/video/WxGd-rM6bFc/w-d-xo.html
My favorite track. The Walk got me into this album, but when I heard this, I was done!
The Meters- He Bite me, Herbie Hancock- Chameleon, Phish- Moma Dance, Kashmere Stage Band- Kashmere
The reason why that groove is so damned funky - that Linn Drum machine pattern was programmed by David Garibaldi - former drummer of Tower of Power, one of the funkiest bands on the planet!
There is a video of a drummer covering the drums and and hi hat. He was close to Prince at one time. he speaks about 777-9311, using the drum machine. The studio version and the live version.

The drummer at the time had to learn the play the drum machine version for live concerts. Very interesting, check it out.
My all time favorite! What about the extended guitar solo, forget about it!!!!
It's that solo that I remember most. Back in 82 you had to find R&B stations to hear it full length rather than the 45 edit.
I always wished I could’ve been in the studio when Prince recorded that solo. Maybe there’s some footage somewhere 🤞🏿🤘🏿💜
I'm here in 2024 and I agree this track is super slick. That bass line is greasy and in yo face every second of that song.
Anything from The Meters
100% . Cissy Strut, jungle man, just kissed my baby. Ooo
Prince played all the instruments on that track.
Morris day just sang on top of princes vocals.
You can hear prince singing if you listen with headphones.
You do know they aren’t playing live on that video, right?
Check out Lady cab driver by Prince on the 1999 album.
Prince put together The Time and wrote most of their stuff, but they were very talented too. He said they were the only band he was scared of. I think it was around 1999-2000 Prince said he hoped they would get back together so he would have some competition.

@@roderickbyrd8638 you're probably right. He pretty much micro managed and redid 90%of the acts he micro managed. Nothing against prince but Jessie was no slouch tho. Hell of a picker
This is all Prince, except vocals. Also nothing on American bandstand was live. No one on that stage is actually singing or playing.
Wow man, I've been preaching this for years. When I clicked on this I really expected to post 777-9311 in protest but since we're on the same page I'm gonna give you my close seconds.

It doesn't any funkier than 777-9311!! I never get tired of listening to this song!!!
That drum groove!!
When I think of groove, i think about "Sir Psycho Sexy" and "Apache Rose Peacock" by RHCP, but this track you chose has really an epic groove too.
Damn straight-blood, sugar,.magic...sex magic...sex magic!
This is actually my favorite song of all time. If you really want to deconstruct the song, find The Time in Houston doing it live...
I was sceptical with the title but you nailed it with your choice, couldn't agree more Sir!! X
'Morris Day and the "Motherf**kin" Time' to be exact
Couldn’t agree more about how funky this song is. I took lessons from Tori Ruffin who is Morris Day’s current guitarist. When he taught me this song, the chords he taught me were C5, slide to C#5, then A.
Maggot Brain is one of my favorite songs from P Funk
Saw them perform it late '19 early '20. Pure 70s guitar god deliciousness!!
Bring that FUNK! For the C# check out barring the 4th fret w 1, 5, b7 and sometimes the 9 sneaks in.
It's funny cause I really wanna start searching for the serious funk!, cause it's out there, But Damn that high hat....is SO on point!.
The drum beat was programmed by David Garibaldi
The moment i saw the title, I thought of this tune🔥🔥
Absolutely love Morris Day and the Time and 777-9311 is one super stanky funky tune along with Get it Up. Guitar part in 777-9311 is easy to play but you have to have stamina to keep it tight for the whole cut.

Chic - everybody dance
Brothers Johnson - Strawberry Letter 23 is like funk, disco and hendrix blended together.
Sly and the family stone - Thank you for letting me be myself

You can tell that I am a bass player. But the guitar riff on I keep forgettin is awesome too.
Right group, wrong song. Don't get me wrong...'777-9311' is a MONSTER. But 'Get It Up' is probably the funkiest of that era imo. Alot of close seconds though from that time period...'Wait For Me' by Slave, 'Paradise' by Change, 'Funkin For Jamaica' by Tom Browne, 'For Those Who Like To Groove' by Ray Parker Jr & Raydio just to name a few. Sooooooooo many great grooves back then. And if we going further I gotta say Graham Central Station's 'The Jam'.
You haven't been baptized to Phish 97 porno cow funk yet. Love your channel and your whole attitude man.
Nice. I just posted the Tube from 12/7/97. Then a funk compilation. Not the nifty cow funk mix, but maybe it should be posted too
rec some phish cow funk?
Possum funk
And who played horns? Hmmmmm
Try Tower of Power "Vuela por Noche" or "On the Serious Side". Many other TOP funk songs I could mention, but these have some monster complicated funk rhythms. A challenge to pick out guitar part and trying to stay on beat.
Love this, I wiuld like to know about that guitar solo. Thanks
Not arguing that the cut is funky but their are so many funky cuts. James Brown - Get on the Good foot, Pfunk - Not Just Knee Deep (the 8 minute version), Pointer Sisters - How Long ( Betcha got a chick on the side), Isley Brothers - That Lady, Cameo - Rigamortis, Brother Johnson - Stomp. PFunk- Cholly. Prince - Gett Off (the remixes), Gwen McCrae - Funky Sensation, The Whispers - Keep on loving me, Envogue- My loving (neva gonna get it)
Tower of Power "what is hip?" the horns are on overdrive!!!
Morris Day is the shit. Spent some time with him in Atlanta. Much different in person. Damn good artist.
Prince has countless funky grooves.
Thank you so much for bringing this back for me. I loved that song since Day 1, but probably didn't have an adequate appreciation of/reverence for it until now.
100% correct!!!!
This is 100% Prince’s song.
All I have to say is this one is up there with "More Bounce To The Ounce" by Zapp!
I will see your funk and raise you a Tower Of Power - What Is Hip? (Chicago 1977)
That version in 77’ always bothered me - WAY TOO FAST. Of course they were on a lot of cocaine. - which is why DG quit
Pleasure “Glide”
First and foremost, thank you for all of your lessons. Especially The Grateful Dead stuff. I've learned a ton from you. Anyway,
here are 3 songs from Mr. Bungle off of their first album. All 3 songs are nuts! They are insane
with the funk!!
1) Carousel:

Preach brother preach !!!!
Total Respect! Love 777-9311 but check out Glide by Pleasure
agreed. funkiest track and more intricate track when you actually play it. Prince wrote it but only the Time could really pull it off.
1000% agree
Sly & the Family Stone - In Time
Tippi-Toes by The Meters is a fun, sorta deep cut that always gets the booty shakin
Some bands worth looking into if you dont know them already:
The New Mastersounds
Lettuce (album after album of amazing funk)
The Fearless Flyers (Vulfpeck spinoff with sick grooves)
Galactic (Norleans funk, prefer their older albums but it's all good)
Jazz is Dead (Jazzed up and funky versions of dead tunes, really love their cover of China Cat Sunflower. Jimmy Herring, Alphonso Johnson, Bruce Cobham, sick lineup!)
Greyboy Allstars
Some old Robert Randolph live shows from 02 - 05, they killed it everytime I saw him and his band live. Incredible energy and it came through in the music
and many more I cant think of at 3 am. Cheers! and enjoy
Lets not forget Aurra " are you single".
I'd submit my favorite groove may be Doo Wa Ditty from Zap and Roger. Same era as this and SUPER funky. Another is Now/ At the Party by Maxwell. Your ass will be bouncing 10 seconds in.

Kool and the Gand Jungle boogie and Brothers Johnson Stomp.
AWB, Wild Cherry, and TOP ya’all
This is a great groove but of course its a branch off the pfunk tree. Bootsy & GC perfected to the groove before this. Check out the albums Ultra Wave & Sweat Band by Bootsy, (produced by George Clinton) And most grooves by pfunk have an edge on prince and morris day. Still ALL SOOO amazing and a blessing to planet earths rhythm dont get me wrong, I love morris day and zapp and prince but GC & Bootsy had already carved out a deep pocket for groups like this to fall into. deep deep deep. black hole pockets where time has its hand behind its back. Your vids are amazing man, I dig your peceptions, thanks!!
LETTUCE
Funkiest cats playing right now!
Even Lettuce would argue that as long as Tower of Power is still touring
Old school 80"s groove.
No arguments from me on this one! When you break this track down, you really gain an appreciation for how sick the entire arrangement is. The only other track that comes close is also by Prince. Check out The Dance Electric!
777/knee deep are tied to me. But nothing ever in music beats Glenn Goins bringing in the mother ship

Love all kinds of funk. One of my favorite grooves is in the middle of Contact by Phish. Very strange song. Doesn’t start off with even a lick of funk. But give it time and it just hits you with filthiness
Great choice here! I'll take this or PARLIAMENT FUNKADELIC'S "DR. FUNKENSTEIN!" Nothing but a slow, syrapy funk groove! I also like VANITY 6'S " NASTY GIRL" ( ALSO BY PRINCE) and PRINCES "LET'S WORK!" Great video. Great Reaction!
