Prince Threw Shade at Morris Day When They Met

[@kcoolmuziq]

I can tell Prince's transitioning has really put a knife through his heart. ALL of The Time owe their existence to Prince.

[@MsFlame2000]

Thank you Morris Day and The Time for making our high school years so much fun. I can remember line dancing to Jungle Love.

[@brendaberry2729]

Saw Morris Day and The Time in February in concert and they were fantastic. Thank you for always keeping the memory of Prince alive.

That's still one of my go to's 😂😂😂

[@wendileona]

Touching at the very, very end there. What was not covered though was, is that Morris is one heck of a drummer musician. I think Morris played drums on The Time's early albums, there's a hi hat shuffle fill thing that's either Prince or Morris and I think Morris was on the drums for Cloreen Bacon Skin and Tricky which is taken from that session. Prince on bass and voices and Morris on the drums. Anyway, cool interview but surely there's a more complete one without the fake Prince music in the background, why give Morris just 2 minutes, he's got so many stories and I'd love to know more about Morris as well! Thanks.

[@RokkyTheGreat]

Great life moment...chilling backstage(after doing security) with Morris Day and Jerome...can you say "EPIC ?!!!"

[@phillipsantana2633]

Morris is always on point with what went on in those days and all the questions any fan would have regarding himself or Prince.Always enjoy Morris with any account given whether music related or just a casual experiance.

[@RavishingBB_]

Love you prince 💖💋💖💋

[@nastee10]

First concert I ever went to, I was 11 years old, 1981 Controversy tour. Prince, Morris Day and the Time and Roger Troutman and Zapp. Three years before Purple Rain.

[@TWes-ku6et]

Prince of course is awesome, but Morris was my dude... too cool

[@aprilwest9852]

Tracy Wesley Prince was the brains /coolness behind Morris Day. Prince coached Morris on his funny / coolness. Prince was actually making fun of Rick James threw Morris. Also Rick had the all girl band The Maryjane's. Prince stole that idea from Rick. when he formed. Vanity 6.

[@bgtreez7361]

Prince did have a great sense of humor!!

[@supaordie]

Leave Morris alone y’all. He was just explaining on how he got to meet Prince and how his different personalities were from day to day. He was a good friend of the Purple One and he misses him as we all do. He ain’t on The Root trying to promote his album and get people to buy it, just that he has a single dedicated to him “Over the Rainbow”. Shame on you bashers being negative on this video.

[@yobabyfresh8492]

Thanks for the memories

[@Ahmadu100]

Prince was one year younger than Morris Day.Prince June 7 1958 - Morris Day December 13 1957

[@jbn.y.9653]

Morris and The Time. Great band. Prince also great. St Paul native myself. Loved u guys music in my teens mid 80's. Still jamming today.

[@somethingdifferent4u247]

Great song.

[@creepshowcrate]

For me, the greatest tune Morris ever did was off The Time's first record, a song called "The Stick." It's the baddest-ass jam you can imagine, and Prince rips a kick ass solo and also sings on the track. Don't miss this song.

[@sarawyatt606]

That whole album was recorded only by Prince and Morris. Prince played all of the instruments, except maybe Morris on drums, and sang background vocals. They put the band together after they cut the album.

[@creepshowcrate]

Damn that makes the record even more impressive.

[@beautifulstrange7255]

Prince made the time he gave Morris Day his career

[@ericrobinson1789]

These stories are really intriguing and fun to hear.

[@ROCKNROLLFAN]

On that note, Morris Day himself is not an easy person to get along with cuz I heard stories of him flat out ignoring some fans....

[@tubucoco]

Dude full of himself, I met him back in the '90's when they weren't as big and doing small tours at hotels. Dude shook my hand with that I call it dead man's handshake and didn't make eye contact with me at all. Later, when the concert started and he performed he was performing and looking straight through the audience like we weren't even there. Lol Everyone was like what the fuck! Lol

[@BlackStorm555]

A man that's constantly looking at himself in the mirror, looking past the audience and not connecting? Whst a shocker.😲

[@tubucoco]

Not just any man, it's your majesty Morris Dayy! I can hear that silly laugh now - Uhh Ahhh, the Oaktree! lmao

[@KingsdaleNorth]

Ive been a huge Prince fan since 1982. Here in America we tend to recognize things annually. Prince is no exception. MJ, Elvis. Yes book publishers marketing firms and reps are going to capitalize on it. I do no see this great injustice being committed against Prince. He himself was a marketing genius. If the wife had not been restricted legally you betcha a book would have come out many many years ago. Did she capitalize on the situation, Yeah. Does this make her worthles, absolutely not. It makes her shred. She married a famous man and like it or not she does have a valid up close and personal perspective to share about her time with him. Had they remained married and he left every dime to her most of you lip smackers wouldnt have anything to say about the book. Grow up people.

[@rugr82day]

Being standoffish is not throwing shade. If I said "You would think a media outlet would know the meaning of a phrase before they used it." That would be kinda shady.

[@atlsongbyrd6084]

Great words. I'm glad Morris is still doing what he does best. Still love the solo work too. "Color of Success" is still the bomb.

[@dwaynebeamon4018]

No they all talked about before to be fair I've heard the time speak on being kicked off tours because they had bigger ovations than the revolution I've heard Wendy speaking on it vanity said her piece

[@oldschoolruler]

I attended college in southern MN in the mid 70's...we'd go to the Holiday Inn in Bloomington and dig on 'Flyte Tyme'. Alexander O'Neal, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, Monte Moir, Jellybean Johnson, etc....although they mostly did top 40, they were tight and we knew if they got a break, they'd make it. Prince's first l.p., 'For You' came out my senior year 1978...although he was the man, ie, "Jamie Starr", FT was solid. Prince helped, but they were gonna make it anyway.

[@kimdenson4148]

Jacqueline Perry I was thinking the same thing

[@stylecollective-qt9um]

Of FFS, can you take your bitter obsessions somewhere else and allow the rest of us to enjoy our memories of this time period. Regardless as to P being the impetus, the fact still remains that it was ALL these inaugural alumnae of that period that impacted a lot of our lives through what the contributed to the pop culture at the time. Everything doesn't have to boil down to all this childish competition the more imbalanced, obsessed fans make it out to be. Just sit back and enjoy the creative output, identify with how these artists are using art to work through the grief process...or at least have the maturity to let be and peace to prevail and folks to enjoy their memories from that time period.

[@infinine99]

stylecollective Thank you! Well said. Down with negativity...

[@esquibelle]

+ Jacqueline Perry Obviously you were not around at that time. You have it all backwards. Prince was inspired by Jesse Johnson of the Time ~ one of the great guitar players of the world. Jesse listened to heavy metal and played rock music with an R&B feel. Prince loved it & went from straight R&B to writing in a new vein - totally inspired by past musicians of all colors & genres. The Time not only had the great Morris Day but Terry Lewis & Jimmy Jam who became two of the most successful and prolific producers of all time. You say that can't sell anything? ROTFL...Terry & Jimmy have sold hundreds of millions of records as producers of Janice Jackson's megahits and Bobby & Whitney & worked with so many best selling artists it's ridiculous - they are involved with hundreds of millions of record sales - just google them - Prince was unique and truly one of a kind, but it's not cool to belittle the great artists who nurtured Prince's talent, whom he loved and respected...and who all contributed to Prince's sound like a big beautiful Minnesota stew ! Yum! :)

[@ZhanaZee]

Very well said….they all were important to the creation of that sound and bringing it to life. Without Morris and the others being the talents they were Prnce would not have been the person he is also. So you are right everyone played a part in creating something magical. The right souls coming together to bring an era into a glorious light

[@tubucoco]

They say that about all us light skinned brothers! lol People swore up and down I looked like Prince or could be his brother when I was in my '20's! But I was about a foot taller. lol

[@dme1016]

joy fitzgerald Same here. I also had the constant MJ comparisons in the 80's even though HE started to look like ME. I was a year older than him & I never had plastic surgery. People love to compare, instead of just saying, "You look good".

[@tubucoco]

yeah, once upon a time, back in the '80's ! People would drive me crazy with that shit, especially young white chicks. Lol I felt like a celebrity without the fame or money. Lol If they would run into me in public in the late '80's at the height of his Purple Rain fame, they would be like OMG, OMG, do you know who you look like?? I'd be like no, who that?? But I was 5'10" and I know Prince wish he was that tall, I on the other hand wished I could play guitar like him. lol

[@dme1016]

K Law Back in the day, whoever was hot, folks would say " You look just like....". Prince, MJ, Lionel Ritchie, Maurice White, etc. Even Al Green & George Michael, for Christ's Sake! Two guys at opposite ends of the shade scale...lol. And it's not me just talkin' shit either....I heard it all the time. Like I said: People need to stop comparing mothafuckas. I'm just tryna' be me.

[@kimgomes4197]

When I seen other interview Marris Day did on Prince,I didn't get the chance to meet Prince to know what kind of person he was,only listen to his music,and some of the interview he did,anyway, morris never spoke Bad about him,only that they had a little situation about money. But I do want to say I respect Morris for keeping it real!!! 💜So Thank you morris Day,for being Prince's friend..

Prince was a gemini, he was confident, ambitious and wanted out of poverty and didn't go around getting government assistance, he starved, that made him more ambitious and that meant discipline and confidence and HARD WORK. There's no reason to even say Prince was a jerk, he was who he was, a gemini that would be different day to day depending on tasks and you just rolled with it, that's why his early friends are the most sincere and real Prince ever had. So sad he went so far away in his journey that no one was there to catch his fall. .::Modernaire
