In this clip, Morris Day talked about the commercial success he achieved while putting out music away from Prince's camp and how they reunited to put together the 'Pandemonium' album. He also explained how his famous, "somebody get me a mirror," became a thing.

Let me tell you somethin... Morris Day is a Legend. PERIOD. Don’t let all the questions about Prince fool u. Morris definitely had his own wave back then.

First song I ever heard from Morris day was kool. Just a solid jam. I still play it

[@AprilCampbell]

The next question should have been - did you play any kind of sport. Do better @vladtv. He is tired of speaking solely about Prince; although, that created his legend. He became a forever icon and sealed his fate on his own. Morris is one cool mfr.

[@TheFreshSoundsFlorida]

If I'm not mistaken, Morris Day's book, which he is currently promoting, is about his life with Prince which is why this interview is focused on Prince.

[@shiestysean]

April Campbell seriously. I was waiting for it. I wanna know more about Morris day

[@onassisfluis3848]

, I love my boy Prince. Missing missing missing. But I have to be honest I could tell as well that he was a little tired of talking about him even though like someone mentioned his book was primarily about his life with Prince. But he has to get used to this. As long as he is alive and he is doing interviews and anyone else from the prince camp that may be doing their own thing now, they are going to get Hella tons of questions about Prince! My family and close friends know that I was a big fan of his since soft and wet. Own every album as well as cassette tape, and they are constantly asking me about him as well. It irks me that everyone who claimed to be a prince fan always speak about Purple Rain being a favorite song as well as Maybe could you be the most beautiful girl in the world. They don't know about other songs that he's done as well as b-sides that are top of the line hits for anyone else. Erotic City, shockadelica, she's always in my hair, Love or Money, 17 days, as well as other b-sides. Purple Rain is in my top five but I don't know if it is number one. Songs such as 1999 as well as shockadelica as well as she's always in my hair are all in my top ten favorites.

"Somebody bring me a mirror. Which suit I should wear tonight? If you think I'm cool, you're right."

[@TheSteveSteele]

One of THE best concerts I’ve ever been to was The Time around 1996. They played an especially large night club in Austin Texas that had a really LOUD PA system and the soundman took advantage and cranked it up! It was crazy loud but it sounded perfect - lots of bass. I saw a couple of shows from that tour. Most nights were smaller venues, so this one night really was different. The band knew it too and they let loose. They were in rare form. The only other show that came close to that level of intensity was a Cameo show from the same era.

[@Jamestele1]

The "mirror" thing is classic! Up there with James Brown's stage show, way back. Cool that it was just something that happened.
