MORRIS DAY
Color Of Success
1985 Canada pressing

AWWWWWWW SHEEEEIIIIITTTTTT!

The coolest motherfucker to ever walk the planet Earth, and that is FACT.

His first solo album away from The Time, and it’s a straight banger.

Good news, everybody.

Morris Day is still alive walking the Earth at 69 years old, and doing it better than all of us combined.
Still cool enough to divide by zero, and still responding “Say please” when God says “Let there be light.”

My day just got a lot better.

I hope Morris Fucking Day lives forever.

The Time, The Time (Self-Titled), 1981 on Warner Bros.

This was the debut LP from Morris Day and co, though they started playing together in the early seventies under different names. The band here still includes Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, who went on to become a well-known producing duo, and guitarist Jesse Johnson who made some solo releases.

While most folks know The Time from their appearance in Purple Rain and the hits that came out of that, I love this earlier record.

"Corporate World" was an unreleased studio album by #TheTime, recorded Summer 1989 and intended for November 14, 1989 release. This is mostly a #MorrisDay and #Prince production, with contributions from a few folks in the Prince orbit, including Margie Cox of Ta-Mara and the Seem (an underrated 80s pop-funk outfit)

It's not as coherent as the album that ultimately came out (Pandemonium) but it's got some absolute bangers regardless.

1. Luke turns off his targeting computer and uses the force to destroy the Death Star

2. Morris Day checks himself out in a mirror in the middle of "Jungle Love" during Purple Rain.

Don't make which choose which one of these scenes is the greatest scene in film history.
