If y'all don't know Morris Day and the Time, that must mean you've never seen Purple Rain, with Prince. Y'all need to jump on that. It's a great movie full of great music.
I got on here to say since you’re doing movie reactions too it’s the perfect segway into Purple Rain! ❤❤❤
I've been begging for them to watch Purple Rain for what feels like years. I wonder if they've tried to, and just weren't allowed to. TH-cam has almost zero reactions to that movie. I'm guessing WB has a hard stance against it.
Movie was okay. Acting was suspect at best.
R U HIGH!!! What the f__k are you smoking??? When I dicide I need some brain damage I will be begging you for some of that s__t!!!
PURPLE RAIN is an all time classic!!! Let me guest your favorite movie is either Mary Poppins or Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!!! LMMFAO@@timgerke8714
Also in "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back", great scene to end off the movie.
The first time I heard "Uptown funk" by Bruno Mars, I went "That sounds like a Time song and he sings it like Morris Day!" The dancing, the line of "I gotto kiss myself, I'm so pretty." was straight out of the The Time's lexicon.
Same. That was straight up Morris Day no question
Yep. I said the same thing when I heard/seen Uptown Funk
Yep.
💯 % agree, 1st time I heard Uptown Funk, I couldn't help but think of Morris Day and the Time..spot on
The first time I heard Uptown funk I said, I did not know Morris Day did a new song. Then I found out the facts. So I say, hey Bruno, "The Time" called, they want their synthesizers back.
Morris Day and the Time was a protege band of Prince's. They all grew up together in Minneapolis. Morris (who started as a drummer) and Prince went to high school together. When Prince started to blow up, he created The Time and moved Morris to the front man spot. You'll get to see them all in action in the movie "Purple Rain," which was a world-wide phenomenon in the 80's. Check it out and enjoy!
I've heard Prince was still inviting his high classmates to Paisley Park over the years to hang out. He'd perform, etc
They originally were Flyte Tyme, and included Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis (who produced Janet Jackson's albums).
Yeah, y'all gotta watch Purple Rain.
Prince wrote Jungle Love, btw.
Bit more than a portage band as Prince wrote all the first three albums and most of the fourth. Prime and the Revolution pretty much recorded the first three too, Morris using Prince's vocal take as a guide track. I think Jesse and Jellybean did some recording. What's strange is The Time are an incredibly talented bunch of Musicians in their own right, the Album they recorded as The Original 7ven was all their own work and its brilliant.
If I’m not mistaken, this video was taken FROM Purple Rain.
Prince's nemesis in Purple Rain! They have some mad swag.... brings back memories.
Man... we used to dress like this going to the club !!!
Prince invented Morris Day and The Time, I mean, everything you see, came from Prince.
I am dating myself. I saw them live when they opened for Prince on the Purple Rain Tour, with Apolonia 6 and Sheila E. SO SO GOOD
In Minneapolis I seen them
Lucky!
I just want to know how much the ticket was
Vanity 6
@@ryanawilson8549 I think I remember $17.50
Prince had so many songs, he had to create multiple bands to express them all.
It was also a combination of Jimmy Jam and Terry Parker. Those guys spread out the Prince-style to Sheila E, Morris Day, Vanity and even Janet Jackson. They had a good thing going for a long time.
@@lashlarue59 No, the first 3 Time albums were Morris Day on drums and Prince on everything thing else. Sheila E and Vanity was all Prince in the studio. In each case, Prince wrote and performed everything in the studio. He made the albums and then removed his lead vocals only. Those background vocals including the ones when Morris yells band are all Prince's vocals.He then had Morris, Sheila E. And Vanity sing his lead note for note as close as they could get to his lead tracking vocals. They were well rehearsed because Prince rehearsed and drilled them. Prince approved the mirror bit because Jerome did it in practice and cracked Prince up. However by this album that was featured in the movie Purple Rain, Prince had fired Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis when they missed a concert due to being stuck in a snow storm in Atlanta where they were secretly beginning their producing career working with The SOS Band. They weren't even members of The Time on Jungle Love. Getting fired was the best thing for them as they went on to become super producers Janet Jackson and many others and won Grammys. They were a Prince protege band only but clearly had to talent to be much more if he had let them.
Facts! 😍🔥
@@lashlarue59 Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis never produced any of the Time's music during that time, only Prince. Jimmy & Terry had nothing to do with Sheila E or Vanity, that was all Prince, The Time played the music for Vanity 6 when they did concerts. They produced and wrote for Janet Jackson among others.
@@AlfredPinkard Prince said The Time was the only band he was ever afraid of.
“Morris Day and the Mother F’N Time”- Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back
15 bucks little man, put that shit in my hand. IF that money doesn't show, then you owe me owe me owe.
can't beat Jay and Silent Bob !
I have watched that in years! Time to revisit it. Any time I hear or see Morris Day, I automatically finish it in my head with "and the mother f'n Time."
Snootchie Bootchies.
Greatest band in the world bitches
There was a time in the 80's when you played this song and EVERYBODY went on the dance floor and the place shook.
Damn right!
Next song needs to be "The Bird" by Morris Day and the Time. Jungle Love was written by Prince and was performed in the movie Purple Rain.
Cool and The Walk for sure.
Yes! I was going to say The Bird is really fun too.
Love his moves!
My kids and I saw this on VH1, I jumped up IMMEDIATELY and started doing The Bird, they rolllllled their eyes at me, I tried to get them up dancing with me, they refused, I said "that's alright, this dance ain't for everybody!" 🤣🤣🤣
@@mamatay7Only for the sexy people! 😂
Co produced by Jesse Johnson!
Jerome, Get me my mirror!
You guys would have loved coming of age in the 80s. There was nothing better!
Jerome!
Morris Day and the Time - prime example why the 80s was the best decade
HELL YEAH!!!
I am SO surprised by now that J. & Amber couldn't immediately tell that this was an 80s sound. Too much instrumentation to be a 90s dance hit & too lively to be a 70s dance hit.
Prince and Morris were rivals on Purple Rain the movie but in real life they were friends and Prince wrote his music like this song.
If you think this is a bop in 2024 you should have heard it when it came out in the 80's! It was everything.
The late Prince and Morris Day grew up in Metro Minneapolis. You can hear the Prince influence.
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis were members of The Time. They dropped out to become producers and songwriters. Their most famous client is Janet Jackson. This trio wrote hit songs 🎵! 🤯
Add New Edition and all when they went solo
I guess you would hear a Prince influence, being that Prince wrote it.
Yeah, Prince wrote or co-wrote every Time song. That was one of those liner notes that blew my young mind, back in the day. Always read the liner notes. Some amazing factoids in there.
Prince fired them from The Time because they had to miss a flight from or to Atlanta (?) and missed a show.
@@nanyabyzness3234 Yep, correct...they had been in Atlanta producing for the SOS Band (who became their 1st production work...after they were fired). They could not make it back in time to open for Prince in concert.
Firing was a blessing...cause they produced hit albums for SOS Band. Then, they produced for their original lead singer (Alexander O'Neal)...for his solo hit albums. When the band The Time was being formed, Alex was going to be their singer...they already had a drummer...so Prince was trying to fit Morris into the group. Alex asked how much they were going to be paid. Prince pulled Jimmy/Terry to the side and said Alex had to go.
So, it was cool to see Jimmy/Terry produce Alex (after their firing). Then came Janet and that Control album...etc....
These guys were a creation of Prince’s. He wrote most of their songs.
Yeah, You can hear Prince hands all over this 80s Purple Rain era gem.
This was on the movie Purple Rain, created by Prince.
He actually wrote all of their songs, I think.
Prince actually sang this originally.. its on PRINCE ORIGINALS LP
I HEARD JESSIE JOH😮WROTETHIS.
My favorite part of this video, is when Jerome comes out with the mirror for Morris to check himself out, then they dance in tandem. And at the end, they do their 2-finger "hand slap".
“The Bird” next!
‘Y’all got ten seconds to get to the dance floor!’
"It's the last call for alcohol!"
Ya ain't too fat to fly!!!
@@evabyrum3327 Ha Ha Yes!
YEEEEEEEESSSS!!!!
Morris Day and The Time always put me in such a good mood. So glad y'all enjoyed them!
This song was from Purple Rain! I believe he was Prince’s adversary in the movie and Prince produced their music!!
No complaints, but in the movie they were the established band for underdog Prince charachter to out do. The movie's plot was kinda obvious.
@@BobGeogeo it’s been a minute since I’ve seen it!!
He didn't just produce the music. He wrote and recorded most of their 1st 3 albums. The band wasn't fully formed until after the 1st album was finished.
Yes! We loved this song as kids during the '80s! Everyone loved them lol
This was all over BET, MTV, skating rinks, arcades, clubs, school dances, radio, etc. "Fishnet" was another one from them that was huge. Check it out later.
Swag and confidence like Prince.
Black pantyhose
"Fishnet" was on Morris Day's solo album "Daydreaming." It was written by Morris Day, Jimmy Jam, and Terry Lewis. Production was at FlyteTime studios by Jam and Lewis.
The Time was discovered by Prince and signed to his label '777-9311" is another banger.
They weren’t discovered by Prince,they were already friends and band mates .Prince just formed them into their own band.
@@BayAreaSon By 1981, Prince had built The Time out of an existing Minneapolis funk/R&B unit, Flyte Tyme, which featured Cynthia Johnson on lead vocals and sax, Anton (Tony) Johnson on guitar, David Eiland on saxophone, Jellybean Johnson on drums, Jimmy Jam and Monte Moir on keyboards, and Terry Lewis on bass. Prince conceived the Time as an outlet for the material he wrote earlier in his career, allowing him to experiment with other styles. He sourced some members of the group from the local Minneapolis funk band Flyte Time - among them Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis - and added others including Day, a childhood friend. Everyone knew about every good group in Minneapolis, but the nation doesn't know who you are until Prince "discovers" you, and you start making hit records. Without Prince there's no Time.
@@562goodguy
He added Morris and fired Alexander O'Neill as singer.
One of Prince's later writing pseudonyms was Alexander Nevermind!😂
@@mikeoliver159😂
@@mikeoliver159Let’s not act like Alexander O’Neal wasn’t that dude! He has so many jam’s it’s not funny.
Every time I this song I flash back to the end of "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" 😂 Great movie!
I've always loved this song and group. This is from the Prince movie, Purple Rain I believe.....❤❤❤❤❤. I think they had another big hit called The Bird ????
You are correct. 🙂
SQUAWK! Hallelujah!
2 great songs
Back in the 90s I was watching an episode of MST3K that featured a Hercules movie. In the middle of a scene with some dancing girls, Tom Servo said, “Jessie. Now Jerome.” LMAO. One of my favorite 80s groups.
You really need to watch them perform their song The Bird. The dance moves are much more animated. Same movie - Purple Rain.
Towards the beginning of this video there were some people on the balcony doing the bird dance. I think..
@894359 Yes they are and they were a product of their time. We could laugh at ourselves. We did not have so much pressure to be some level of perfection.
The “O-E-O-E-O” is a take on the Wicked Witch’s guard’s chant in The Wizard of Oz.
Jay and silent bob sent you guys most of the requests for this song😂
Absolutely LOVE this song. This was a hit when I was in 7th grade and it was played nonstop :)
Morris Day's onstage preening in front of a mirror was given a loving nod by Mark Ronson & Bruno Mars. Remember the line "Wanna kiss myself, so pretty" in Uptown Funk?
When I first saw the Uptown Funk video, it reminded me of this clip from Purple Rain. So it’s funny you say that.
Two of the best chair dancer's on TH-cam 😂😂😂 ! Jay and Amber , hope you have a wonderful day !
From this group came the dynamic producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.. and Jessie Johnson❤
The best decade for music, the 80's.
The Time was a Prince side project. Prince wrote and produced the songs and the Time was formed to perform and sing them. They eventually wanted to do their own stuff but that's another story. This was for the move Purple Rain which you should watch.
this was 1984. Morris Day is everything he is depicted to be here-even to-this-day. he is STILL that dude.
1980's baby!!!! That group is in "PURPLE RAIN❤❤
Morris Day is the definition of SMOOTH
This is from the movie Purple Rain. Morris Day and Prince met in high school. Morris was the drummer of the first band Prince put together. The next song from The Time: THE BIRD or COOL
This song is from the movie, Purple Rain.
This is a song from back in '84, funny that you mentioned 'Prince', he wrote this under the pseudonym of 'Jamie Starr', it was featured in Prince's film 'Purple Rain'.
He didn't write this one. Jesse Johnson wrote this one.
@@baronvonsatan Thank you, I didn't know that.
Oak Tree is another high energy throw down by Morris Day!! ❤❤❤❤
As mentioned by many below, The Time was a side project of Prince’s. The Time were in “Purple Rain” and the sequel “Graffiti Bridge”. This song and “The Bird” are from The Time’s 3rd album “Ice Cream Castles”. The Time recorded both songs and performed them in the movie. ALL other songs on The Time’s first 3 albums are Morris Day on lead vocals and Prince playing all the instruments and doing backing vocals. All three albums were produced by Prince and he wrote all the songs. The same was done with other side projects - Vanity 6, Apollonia 6, The Family.
Loved ice cream castles
Prince actually played the entire track. Morris did the vocal. The Time had to learn the parts to play them live.
@@electricavenuemusic9282 Yeah they said that
Morris Day was in Prince's high school funk rock band as drummer later on. Before that, he was in the RIVAL high school funk rock band. So that part of the movie was based on their actual high school rivalry. Morris Day was for awhile a stagehand/backstage assistant and helped craft the song "Partyup" which was on Prince's third studio album. Prince offered to pay him some money for the song or help him start a new band. Morris chose Prince helping him get a band going and thus was born The Time. Originally, Alexander O'Neal was going to be the singer but was asking for too much money (and he had a drug problem). Prince talked Morris Day into taking the lead vocal spot and giving up the drum spot and he was right. The thing with Alexander being a dodged bullet became a bit of a joke when Prince would use various pen names to write for other musicians, one of which was Alexander Nevermind. As others have said, Prince owned The Time and crafted most of their material for them - at least until their revival in the 2000s as "The Original 7ven." Morris Day is still releasing his own music today. For this Christmas, be sure to check out his song "Cooler Than Santa Claus."
Prince and The Time are inseparable - they had many big tours in the early 80s. This clip is from "Purple Rain" and was performed at the club Prince and The Time started at in Minneapolis. I think it's called First Avenue.
Finally!!!! Morris Day and the Time were part of Prince's Paisley Park family! This group was so unique and talented. Morris Day (lead singer) still performs today. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, who produced many of Janet Jackson's hit albums were also a part of this talented group! Check out their other hits, "Cool", "Oak Tree", "777-9311", "The Bird" and much more!! These clips are from Purple Rain, Prince’s movie, and he was great in it! This is the great eighties!❤❤
The Time was straight funk. Morris Day was the Lead vocalist Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis were part of the band along with Monte Moir on Keyboard and Jellybean Johnson on Drums and Jesse Johnson on Guitar Yes
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis helped Janet Jackson develop her sound when she started her solo career, right? They are amazing producers.
She recorded here in Minneapolis at Flyte Time studios before they moved to LA. Jellybean still plays guitar here regularly. I see him often.@@doloresbriseno2567
Prince conceived the Time as an outlet for the material he wrote earlier in his career, allowing him to experiment with other styles. He sourced some members of the group from the local Minneapolis funk band Flyte Time
When you mention Prince, you hit the nail on the head, they are a Prince creation, and this is from the movie Purple Rain in 1984
I saw Purple Rain the day it came out in theaters and there were people dancing in the aisles and clapping their hands. It was the best movie experience i ever had.
Never forget the time I randomly met Morris Day walking down the street in Richmond.
He is EVERY bit the dude you see in this song!
Prince was always finding hidden gems to promote as proteges. This band was in the movie Purple Rain but Prince made sure they were brought into the pop arena because there was so much talent in the band - Morris Day, Jelly Bean Johnson, Jerome Benton, Jesse Johnson, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis went on to become huge producers and produced Janet Jackson's CONTROL album. This is from the mid-80's and you need to react the the movie PURPLE RAIN at some point.
I never will forget seeing Morris day and the time & Tone Loc in the small town of foreman Arkansas at the local football field. It was the best concert I ever went to. Despite being in the middle of summer and very humid. Morris still looked classy with his suit on.
My favorite track from the Time is "777-9311." In my opinion, it has one of the funkiest drum tracks and bass lines ever recorded and a killer electric guitar solo, but you've gotta listen to the full 8 minute version to hear the solo.
Some other tracks I love from the The Time are "Get It Up," "The Walk," "The Bird," and "Jerk Out," which is the band's biggest hit.
Stood in line for 9 hours to see him and Prince in concert. This was in the 80's when you had to purchase tickets from music stores and not online. This is one of my all time favorites of the. 80's.
Ahh, growing up in the Twin cities in the 80's was great. Prince, Morris Day and the Time at First Avenue, it was the best.
"Jerk Out" and "Oak Tree" were 2 huge hits
I was a teenager in San Francisco in 1981/82 and saw Morris Day and the Time as the opening act for Prince at the early part of their careers at the Civic Auditorium. The concert hall held about 7,500 people. Most people sat in the balcony seats that night so my friends and I walked right onto the auditorium floor and watched the show 10 feet from the stage. I’ll always remember that concert.
One of Prince's, this was from Purple Rain. BTW, they played in an outdoor concert in florida, my sister and I got on stage with other ladies and it was 1984 all over again! Great show! They even had Jerome bring out the mirror! (Only us old folks understand.)
Who you calling old??? Bwahaha LMMFAO
But please don't ever call us old again!!!
@@toddyoshimura2043 Ok, just me. I'm old.
LOL. I got to see them at our local festival about 2 years ago. So many 40-50 somethings like me loving every minute of it. Though even most of the younger people enjoyed it because these guys (and gals) know how to put on a show. True professionals.
Y'all, Morris Day and The Time...just kicked it. Basically the precursor to New Jack Swing if you listen and watch carefully. Watch Purple Rain. Iconic Prince and iconic Morris!
YAY! Haven't watched it yet, but YAY! Hope you guys check out The Bird as well. Even "Fishnet", and "777-9311" are a vibe! Morris played Prince's love rival in Purple Rain and a lot of the footage in the video is from the movie.
I was lucky enough to see them, Prince and Vanity 6 in concert. THE best concert ever.
Go rent Purple Rain. You won’t regret it.
I was working a nightclub in Mobile, and this guy came and up gave me an i.d. that said Morris Day. Thought it was a joke, I look up and is him. He just smiled and laughed with me. He stayed for a few hrs. He was nice to everyone, took pictures and did autographs. Great guy
That’s wild that you said he reminded you of Prince because his band, Morris Day and the Time were in the movie Purple Rain. He and Prince were competitive on stage and off.
BWAAAKK Hallelujah! .....You really gotta check out their track called 'The Bird'. Another dance banger!
Oh man! This is a jam! I remember when this came out. Morris Day oozed confidence.
When I saw the thumbnail for this on my feed, I exclaimed, "YES!!!" I knew you'd enjoy it. Like everyone else in the comments have said, you MUST watch the "Purple Rain" movie to see all these performances in context.
If you guys are interested in more of that Minneapolis, Prince sound, I would suggest you check out the following artists and songs:
"Erotic City", by Prince
"Curiosity" (written by Prince), by The Jets
"Nasty Girl", by Vanity 6
"Undress", by Vanity
"Holly Rock", by Sheila E.
"Modernaire", by Dez Dickeson
"Player's Ball", by Mazarati
All of these artists, and songs were either signed by prince, or worked/toured with Prince, or were highly influenced by him.
💜💜💜 his Royal Purpleness Prince himself founded and brought Morris Day and the Time to us. The clips are from Prince's movie Purple Rain. Loved this reaction and Love you guys J and Amber. Thanks for the party today. ❤❤
I just got up off the floor...."Hey Jesse! Now Jerome!!!!" The best!
After seeing this in Purple Rain, the best performance of this was at the end of Jay and Slient Bob Strike Back.
I KNOW I have tried to push you to watch Purple Rain in your movie reactions, several times. What are you waiting for? I’m from Minneapolis. The club that this video was filmed at is called First Avenue. It is where Prince became popular. And Prince went to high school at Central High in Minneapolis, with Morris Day. Prince put The Time together, all of the people in this film play themselves except Prince’s mother and father. Even the bouncer at the club is a guy we used to see when we would hang out at First Avenue. First Avenue is famous for showcasing the top local and national bands. And the Minneapolis sound was created because of this club. Lots of musicians became famous after playing at this club.
They used to have Battle of the Bands down there. My friends and I used to see Prince before he was famous. He was so unique and way ahead of his time. Super multi-talented. He can play tons of instruments. And he has over 1000 unpublished songs in a vault in his studio. He always lived in Minneapolis and was very giving to the city. Even now, if you visit Minneapolis, you turn on a local rock station on the radio, they will be playing Prince music at least once or twice an hour! When Prince died, the memorial was at First Avenue and vigils were held in the streets surrounding First Ave. That club is the main focus of the film, Purple Rain. The audience were just folks who were there , not actors. All the performers in that film, act as rivals, competing for stage presence…but in reality, they were all friends of Prince’s, many were high school friends, and bands that he put together and produced. The film is a Rock doc, a semi-biography of Prince’s rise to fame. It’s also a romance, a comedy, and a drama. This is a must-see film for rock music lovers. The musicians are all real. And Prince is a natural born actor. His first film. Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert, both very famous film critics, loved it and Ebert called it “the best rock film of all time.”
Purple Rain won an Academy Award for Best Original Song Score. It was also nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Original Song for When Doves Cry in the film.
Morris Day and the Time still perform. I saw them in New York City at an outdoor venue in Brooklyn a couple years ago. Still a great band.
You MUST react to “The Bird.” Make sure you see the music video, also filmed at First Avenue during the filming of Purple Rain. Jungle Love and The Bird are their most famous hits!
Saw Morris Day and the Time at an outdoor music festival in Minneapolis, MN in 1999, later that night Prince played. Was an absolute amazing weekend experience!
Oh, my goodness! You two ARE GETTIN' GOOD!!! When Jay said something about it sounding like Prince, I almost screamed "YES!" A couple years ago, you would have never picked up on the "Prince Connection!". I am so proud of you two! 💞. Now you need to listen to " The Bird.". And then watch "Purple Rain."
You can see his influence on Bruno Mars. The second you heard Morris Day and the Time, your body danced onto the floor. They were so much fun!
✌️😁❤️🎶🎶🎶👍
Yes. I recently saw a video from The Time when Alexander O'Neal was the lead. Bruno completely stole their style.
Now you're speaking my language. Awesome song. Great reaction. Make me smile
Absolutely Love
Morris Day & the Time
Great Appearance in the Wonderful Prince Movie Purple Rain
Another Must Song by them is “The Bird”
You Will Absolutely Love It
MORRIS DAY! That’s one cool dude. Grew up with Prince. Lots of Prince-isms in their music.
There should be a lot of Prince-isms, seeing that Prince literally CREATED The Time.
Your comparison to Prince is spot-on. This is basically a Prince song - they released his demo a few years ago and it's almost identical to the final version, right down to the "oh-we-oh-we-oh"s. Basically Prince recorded the track, then took off his vocals and had Morris redo them.
th-cam.com/video/VimhzZyd0Wc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6OuLQM7uIUWNoZfD
"Jerome, get my mirror". Been a minute since I have seen this movie/ heard their music. ❤
Love, love, love this band.
Great reaction guys and Morris Day was amazing and is a legend in my book. Old book.
This is from Prince's Movie Purple Rain, one of Prince's creations! You have to see the Whole Movie there are lots of videos from Prince that show parts of the movie!!
Ok, now you've gotta watch "Purple Rain" on one of your movie nights. The band and the song are in the movie, with Prince. This song was HUGE in 1984-85.
Definitely 80s time, dance time club time. Lots of fun time great music time.😂❤
Purple Rain" with Prince""was a great movie, and Morris Day and the Time""were such a great ,funky, fun"" band! So cool!!
This is from Prince's Purple Rain movie. The song itself was produced by Prince, lyrics by Prince, Morris Day and Jesse Johnson. It's Prince playing all instruments on the track except for Jesse Johnson on guitar.
Yeah but the Time themselves were Stellar musicians I saw them with on the 1999 tour
Skipped the Purple Rain tour because that was for Newbie’s and adolescent teens
So they were a lot tamer than the Dirty Mind, Controversy and 1999 tours
Guys, this *IS* from the 80's, it's from PURPLE RAIN! This band was up against Prince's band in the "battle of the bands" type contest that Prince performed Purple Rain in!
You got to check out their first Hit called COOL. It takes me back to my first pass during basic training in 1981. It was a club banger. And yes. He had swag like no other. Morris Day. To coin a fraze was just too cool for school.
This is a 40 year old song this year. Purple Rain came out in 1984! Always enjoyed Morris Day and the Time! I find it impossible not to sit still while hearing it, gotta get up and dance!! Great choice, thanks for sharing.
From the greatest decade, the 80’s, and the movie Purple Rain! Great memories!
Morris Day and The Time were associated with Prince. Day and Prince attended the same high school in Minneapolis and in 1974, as teenagers, became bandmates in the band Grand Central. The band was managed by Morris' mother.
The Time was assembled under a clause in Prince's contract with Warner Bros. that allowed him to recruit and produce other artists for the label. Morris Day, who was required to follow Prince's guide vocals note-for-note, none of the band played on their debut album. Prince instead played all the instruments himself, crediting the production to his alter-ego, "Jamie Starr", and Morris Day.
A rivalry developed between The Time and Prince's band during their 1982 Controversy Tour. Frustrated with their lack of input on the albums bearing their name and at being underpaid, The Time would take to the stage with the intent of showing up Prince. On the final night of the tour in Cincinnati, during the Time's set, Prince and some of his band threw eggs at their supporting act from offstage. After The Time's performance, guitarist Jesse Johnson was handcuffed to a wall-mounted coat rack. Prince demanded no interruptions during his performance, but as soon as he left the stage, a food fight erupted. When the battle continued at the hotel, Prince held Morris Day responsible and made him pay for all damages. Other hits..."Cool" (1981), "Jungle Love" (1985), "777-9311", "Get It Up" (1981), "Gigolos Get Lonely Too", and "The Walk",
GEEZ...I'd forgotten about this song lol. Such fun!!!
Yes, The Time was a Prince conception. Morris Day in addition to two other members. Morris Day was a friend of Prince's from childhood. There is another Morris who played keyboard in Prince's band. I saw an interview with him - it was in four parts, but really good. It is on the Wings of Pegasus channel (Fil Henley). Fil is a musician and teacher of guitar and analyzes voices on various songs.
Cool guys I haven’t watched it yet. Thank you for playing it considering Prince produced this band. This is from the film purple rain. This is Prince rival in the film.
Ohhhh, Morris Day and the Time! They animated the mid-80s with their funky grooves. We all LOVED it. And yes, you can hear Prince all over the Time's music since they were his proteges. If you like this song, try their big comeback from 1990, "Jerk Out," it's a trip. Also make SURE to listen to Morris Day's solo hit from the 80s, "Color of Success."
I'm from the MTV generation. This song came out the year after I graduated, 1984. I loved Morris Day's presence in this funky video, especially when Morris summons Jerome for the mirror, hahaha!! 😂😂
Back when MTV stood for something...
Yes!! MTV was amazing when it came out.
@@VickiCampbell-1216 I dug MTV for years. And VH1 after that. A pity they both drifted...
@@fnjesusfreak It was all great while it lasted. I loved VH1 too.
This is all 80's & it definitely got EVERYONE on the dance floor, they would play the video on big screens, lots of lights & fog, some clubs did bubbles too 😅, sooo much fun !!!
The 80's were soooo good! Try 'Oh Sheila' by Ready for the world, you'll love it for sure! 'Fake' or 'Criticise' by Alexander O'neal are also bangers from the eighties!
If you see anything from the purple rain soundtrack, this is one of those songs from that soundtrack because Morris Day and the time were on that soundtrack with Prince so this is from the 80s
This is from the movie purple rain with Prince... Which I might add is one of the greatest 80s movie soundtracks of the decade..
I'm a Minneapolis native who still lives here. I've seen Morris Day & The Time in concert a number of Times! Cool to see the video which shows highlights from the movie Purple Rain...from 1984! Most of the concert scenes were filmed at 1st Avenue Nightclub in Minneapolis! Of course, most of the movie was shot in Minneapolis. Prince also had a GREAT nightclub here in the 1990s called Glam Slam (clubs in Minneapolis, LA and Miami) which attracted celebrities and people from ALL over the world! The BEST dance club we ever had! A few other nice songs by The Time: it's 777-9311, Cool, Get It Up, Wild & Loose...and slow groove Gigolos Get Lonely Too. As Morris would say, "YESSS!" 😊🎸👏🏾🎤🎹🥁
