jerome was very important, the first hype man with class, sang background, played in numerous movies, and you could tell how prince used his charisma in under the cherry moon, great movie may i add, honestly a better movie than purple rain, its just that purple rain had the soundtrack..but jerome was in like two, three bands...very funny, underrated
"ATTENTION PRINCE" You might own the rights to the name "The Time" and you might not let them use the name anymore but as fans they will ALWAYS BE THE TIME to us so you can't keep us from calling them "THE TIME"... THE TIME now is using the name "THE ORIGINAL 7VEN" checkout there new song "#TRENDIN" and there new video. You guys check it out and show the masters of cool some Love. SORRY PRINCE YOU LOSE THIS ROUND PURPLE ONE!!!!! OH YEAH THERE NEW ALBUM IS OUT CALLED "CONDENSATE" In store now...
But you still didn't ansewer my question, WHAT IN THE HELL DOES HE DO? He doesn't have any redeaming talent in that group. OH YEAH, the damn fool with no talent.
@SongsMikelikes Jerome Benton is the percussionist for the band as well acting as the comic foil to Day. Without Jerome, there won't be The Time. BTW, he'sTerry Lewis' kid brother so watch yourself, dude.
@MooseShady Some people just don't understand. Any old schooler knows who Jerome knows what he can do and knows his part in the band. And that person who said Jerome Benton is the damn fool with no talent doesn't really know The Time in the first place. It's a damn shame Prince wouldn't let them use The Time name anymore they are now going by The Original 7ven check out there new video #Trendin. Just bought the new CD and it's tight. I love the song call "Sick" on there. Jesse is wicked on lead.
@SongsMikelikes All of the members of The Time are talented and have more talent than what you see in the group. Jerome is more than just a hype man; he is also a talented musician in his own right.
Why in the hell is Jerome making all the comments, he doesn't do shit. You would think he is Jessie Johnson or something. The most useless one does all the talking.
who under 50 listens to this dude and who dont find him insulting to the black community anybody can put to charity to make themselves feel better in the morning do the right thing and stop bringing down and belittleing your own race nobodys your friend and nobody thinks your funny your jokes are very immature and you need to step down thumbs up if you feel like Tyler Perry needs to sue this dude for stunting his growth in sales from his male viewers....
I grew up around all these guys. Sue Ann, Prince Andre, Morris, Alex. We are from a small city and believe it or not we arrelated. It seems that a small wold makes a large family. There are so many experiences that I have had with around or because of yaw'll that it feels funny. Remember Gretchen, Jerome? The Trek and all the house parties at the Demmings house, Jimmy? I taught Jesse's daughter in school and my brother played drums and sang lead in Kool Skool for Jesse. Jellybean, always chill?
Remeber your real first gig? You played my club, The YAASM. South Mpls on Lake Street? Prince paid for everything and you guys were comin' in everyday to practice? I asked Jimmy to lend me a copy of a Redding hit and he said, "I don't lend my music out". We watched you as you were annoyed and taxed by his presence. You played on his gear and played his songs. Remember the song, "If You Wanna Be My Girl?" Morris you are my cousin and so are you Prince. I say these names and you, Leland and Levonn
Morris Day is still a fly Brother! And they still dress sharp. Not all sloppy like these new artists and groups do. They are baad! I hope that they get some good material together and get back out there like they use to. It's about that "Time".
Where do you find these things?!!!!!!! Thank You soooooooo much! Damn near everyone from Minneapolis I loved in the 70's and the 80's!!!!!!!! The Time ............... what do I say? I love them all!!!!!
Prince wrote almost all of the Time material. They didn't really get a chance to showcase their songwriting until Pandemonium in 1990 that album featured a couple of Prince songs Chocolate being one of them.
i wish Prince would pop up lol
