Morris Day Shares Prince Tribute Song

 

 

It was one year ago today that Prince passed and caused his fans and the music industry to go into shock. Morris Day knew Prince since childhood and became the lead singer of The Time, Prince’s in-house R&B band from the ’80’s that became known for its own distinct members. Day spoke to Billboard about how he learned of Prince’s death and the subsequent creation of the Snoop Dogg executive-produced “Over That Rainbow.” He saw Prince for a final time in February 2016 when The Time did a show at Paisley Park.

Throwback: Morris Day-Fishnet

MorrisDayDaydreaming

[youtube id=”qX1o-os-TMs”] “Fishnet” was written by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis for Morris Day’s Daydreaming album.  Day’s sophomore album was another opportunity for the three of them to work together outside of their membership in The Time. The tribute to women’s stockings gave Day his only number one R&B hit as a solo artist and further spread the magic of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Day’s self-produced first album, Color Of Success, was received well because of the single “Oak Tree” and was a factor in keeping Minneapolis funk relevant. The three of them would not work together again until the 1990 release of The Time’s Pandemonium. Day released his fourth and most recent solo album in 2004 with It’s About Time. In 2011, The Time reunited and changed their name to The Original 7ven and released the album Condensate. The band is currently touring and will pay tribute to Prince who founded The Time in 1981.
