Keep in mind as a group they never reached their artistic peak which is fucking frightening because they were tight as hell. God had other plans for the Black Beatles.

      Prince may have created the music and provided direction, but he personally could not pull the attitude or the sound. In the concerts I seen when they were together, the Time blew Prince off the stage. No denying Prince’s talent. But the “Revolution”, “New Power Generation”, whoever Prince fronted was no match for a Time show. Just my opinion!

      Maybe not. You see any guitar cables? I'm thinkin' live vocals over pre recorded backing track. YOu'll also see that there's only a couple of shots where Jellybean is "playing" the hi hat pattern.

      @@woodygould True. There were no live mikes or instruments at all. Watch how the music fades at 3:17. Every _American Bandstand_ performance that I have ever seen was lip-synced to the actual record, including this one. _Soul Train_ , _The Midnight Special_ and the british show _Top of the Pops_ did exactly the same thing. These were dance shows where the artist/band lip-synced, pantomimed instruments, and danced to their record audio. The _Tonight Show_ , _David Letterman_ , _Arsenio_ , and others actually had live performances.

(Mckindly jr high) Some dude stopped at a stop sign and this was playing in his car. I just remembered hearing 7779311. I already knew alittle about prince from my father who had his Contoversy album on 8 track a year or two before.it all came together sometime after that. And the rest was history.

Back then, I rarely watched American Bandstand because I was more a Soul Train cat, but when I heard my favorite band at that time was gonna be on, I couldn't miss it. I still remember the goose bumps I felt when I saw them. Love these guys. It is a blessing that they are all still alive and kickin

They really did a really good job when they were performing on stage and they really put alot of work into making this song The Walk and they really enjoying what they were doing by performing on stage and they really knocked it out the park with their performance. To this day I still love Morris Day and the Time. They are the best.
