Morris Day and the Time first formed in Minneapolis in 1981,
and were close associates of Prince. Since the early 1980s, the group has
recorded five albums, all of which have hit the top 10 in U.S. R&B charts,
including “The Time,” “What Time Is It,” “Ice Cream Castle,” “Pandemonium,” and
“Condensate.”
Top singles from the group have included “Jerk Out,” “Jungle
Love,” “The Bird,” “777-9311,” “Wild and Loose,” “Cool,” and “Ice Cream
Castles.”
“It was such an innocent time,” Day said. “We were just
doing our thing, talking the way we talked and dressing the way we dressed. It
was us being us. I’m proud of where I came from musically and the things we’ve
done.”
Day has also been seen in many films, including “Purple
Rain” and “Graffiti Bridge” with Prince, as well as “The Adventures of Ford
Fairlane” and “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.”
