Love this song, I was in California when it came out. My husband was in the military and I was all alone, and very young. I only had my music, and this was one of my line up songs to play on those lonely nights.
The time had its talent....Jimmy jam and Terry Lewis went on to produce quite a few popular albums! After producing and business steered towards a "different" concept...music industry changed..... Strong influences had a very strong decision on business..
I'm tired of people bashing Prince for not letting the Original 7 use the Time name, for all practical purposes the Time was Prince. The so-called Original 7 are by no means original at all...and will always be remembered for the Prince penned songs like "Get It Up". So give credit where credit is due....the real genius behind the Times success and the music we all love to hear so much was in fact Prince.
@dikrowland Shit I wish I could play it. I use to wear this song out trying to learn how but the fingering and dexterity needed far surpass my ability s...oh well I can still dream
"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.
Prince wont let the Time do a reunion tour, he owns all of the copyrights. Oh but this song is such a masterpiece all the way around. The best 9mins 9secs on Youtube today.
@bladesaint21 New Time Album Oct 18th renamed The Original 7ven The band formally known as The Time, its called Condensate look it up on amazon.com, i bought it in advance F... Prince
@Oldscule62 Checkout there brand new album and there new video here on youtube. Since Prince won't let the use the name the time there name now is The Original 7ven...
OH SO GREAT! Perfect music...close your eyes and just let it in....Magic! Thats the THE TIME...Always hits your soul...Always a great sound in my life.
OH SO GREAT! Perfect music...close your eyes and just let it in....Magic! Thats the THE TIME...Always hits your soul...Always a great sound in my life.
These guys epitomizes cool! and I can honestly say, when they hit the scene, they gave me something to strive for, and because of Cab Calloway & Morris Day, I still to this day love the zoot suits, baggies, and of course those Stacey Adams.
The Time brought new insights into their music and dance like it was no tomorrow. Their style and lyrics brought the truth during this era of the 1980s. And Morris Day was the front leader of the group that brought their style to the forefront. Their sound was different and crisp. These memories has brought me back to my teenagehood and starting out as a young adult. Keep them riding high on youtube.
@gjohnsonplayer123 this is a prince song with morris on lead vocals. none of the other time members actually appeared on the first 3 albums. Just prince and morris. u can hear princes backing vocals quite clearly.
Remember the token white boy blonde in the group. His job was just to stand around. Reminded me of the one mobster in Silky Slims gang in Uptown Saturday Night.
@kevonedmonds If you are referring to Monte Moir - he is the original and current keyboardist for The Time, as well as songwriter and producer for Janet Jackson, Alexander O'Neal, Gladys Knight, and others. Also credited for working with Vanity 6, Deniece Williams, Thelma Houston and various other artists. His greatest writing successes were writing the first side of Alexander O'Neal's solo debut as well as "The Pleasure Principle' by Janet Jackson.
prince is playing all the sounds you hear.
