Surprised there has never been a thread here on Morris Day and the Time.

Unsung on TV One had a special on his life and career

I know Prince wrote a lot of their material and maybe that is why they are not regarded as one of the great bands in the 80's.

Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis came out of that band.

I wish they put out a box set or remastered their old albums since they are OOP and hard to find.

C....... O... O... L..

You can't get that song on Itunes,.

First thing I thought of, "Morris Day and the motherfucking Time!"

I was more thinking Randal Graves: "And for your information, The Time sucked ass!"

Oh we oh we oh!

Isn't that why they changed their name to The Original 7ven a while ago? That was several years before Prince passed.

I was thinking the same thing!

What the story behind all of this? Did Prince (when he was alive) own the rights to the name or something?

Per wiki, he literally put the band together:

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. Inspired by the musical film The Idolmaker (1980), about a rock promoter, Prince decided to put together a pop-funk group that would serve as an outlet for material in the vein of his own early albums, while he explored other genres and styles in his own career.

Jungle Love. Ohh eee ooo. eeee. ooo
