Morris Day - Color Of Success

[@josephfincham5052]

Morris is the man I don't think he ever got the credit he deserves

[@allenscott68]

Zulu swashbuckler. Joseph fincham him getting honored at the soul train awards is definitely a good start though‼️

[@sammjackson70]

You sonds like smashbuckle dude he is right Morris E Day didn't get the credit he deserves so kill that noise or we've been hearing about is pressed what's the deserted credit he deserved to kill that noise! ​@@allenscott68

[@thankyou4416]

Yes ✨

[@thomasbridges7323]

True this cut was him for real. But number one in the end 2024 ahhhhh maybe how prince's put them all together to make yep

[@dchange7277]

I remember back in 1986 I just turned 20 years old. Nothing like the old school music

[@josiewilson4538]

I love the video!! The great days of R&B.

[@josiewilson4538]

I need a time machine so I can go back to the 80’s. Morris is the man full of confidence and class. ❤️

[@globalprincess489]

[@freebird1118]

If you remember the 80's you must have been standing still. I worked to dance. And yes the military was good for that. Every night made every morning very hard, but I wouldn't trade the life for anything.

[@drew31dm]

right on

[@EShavoz]

Damn I wish we still had music this good. God Bless you Morris Day.

[@mrsain19]

to be honest, im glad we dont. just for the fact that we can value all of the great music of the past to the absolute max.

[@bdfhip-hop2894]

lia exlemus prince didn’t write this- This was Morris’ solo work. He wrote & produced his own music at this point.

[@brianstevenson4432]

Emill Shavoz we do

[@patricksmith6796]

My childhood was great because of great music like this i got a chance to grow up to.

I'm talking mid stream while walking we would freeze, drop our books, and break in to getting our groove on. Teachers would pass us by laughing or shaking their heads at us LOL... Wow, we were really lucky back then to have such great music! Miss those days...

[@dawnmichellepoindexter8571]

Helped keep me awake during those many graveyard shifts!! HARD to believe that was already 30 years ago!! Wowww listening to this I can still see that stream of letters going through the machine.

[@mrpostman730]

Radio City Unit 10019. from 10PM-6AM, Had many songs keep me awake on that hypnotizing machine !! The good old days because that LSM has been extinct for decades now. Anyon curious about it can look it up I'm sure. Still listening to that FINE MORRIS DAY IN OCTOBER 2109!!!!

[@sammjackson70]

For all the women who didn't give Morris Day his credit he deserve that's why he made this song

[@natureboy1313]

Man, there were some great dance bands during the 80's. I remember hitting the clubs in Pittsburgh, Pa after Miami Vice, I loved that dance floor

[@johnniebanks4832]

[@jnoahmchyst1937]

Look, although I'm from the 305, I was in Cali in 1985 and part of '86 when this Album came out and, I tell you, " EVERY HOOD" in Diego was bumping the Hell out of this shit. Thus, making Morris Day the Money Making Motivator of the Motha/F'n Year!
