History
Morris Day and the Time (originally known simply as the Time) is an American funk band formed in Minneapolis in 1981, assembled by Prince out of the local funk/R&B outfit Flyte Tyme. Prince's childhood friend Morris Day became lead singer, joined by Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, Jesse Johnson, Jellybean Johnson, Monte Moir and hype man Jerome Benton. Their sound, sharp funk rock and R&B in the lineage of Funkadelic, Parliament and James Brown, became a cornerstone of the "Minneapolis sound." Hits included "Cool," "777-9311," "Get It Up" and "Jungle Love," and the band's charismatic turn in Prince's 1984 film Purple Rain made them stars, even though they barely played their own instruments: Prince recorded most of the debut album himself under the alias "Jamie Starr." Day left for a solo career in 1985; Jam and Lewis went on to become two of the era's most successful producers. The band has reunited several times since, including at the 2008 Grammy Awards, and continues to tour as Morris Day and the Time.
