Buy Morris Day's new book, On Time: A Princely Life in Funk, here: amzn.to/36PmZoa
------------------------
Morris Day stopped by for his first-ever interview with VladTV, where he spoke about meeting Prince in high school and joining his band. From there, Prince and Morris formed a friendship and later recorded the first Morris Day and The Time album with just the two of them before forming "The Time." Morris went on to speak about Prince and Micahel Jackson's competitive relationship and how Prince went to Michael to squash their beef. Elsewhere in the interview, Morris spoke about filming Purple Rain and how Rick James hated Prince, which you can hear more about above.

I'm watching this after watching Apollonia, so what Morris saying about Prince, same sentiment I've heard from Apollonia, she accepted and love Prince they way he was, especially about the $$$. Life is so ironic , Prince was so tight with his money, never wanted to pay people he worked with, $300.000 for Apollonia and she almost died twice, broken pelvis from motorcycle on top of her, while Prince driving, 2nd Hypothermia from the the cold lake, she said, she heard them saying, we're losing her, Prince was crying saying don't die, while him and a lady hugging keeping Apollonia warm. While Prince made over $50M. Apollonia wrote 2 song wasn't including in the sound track either. Yet he died and everybody came out of the wood, claiming for Prince money, he wasn't able to bring his money with him.

Sooo True, a living Legend in his own lane. A lot of young people don't know that P. Diddy " Piggybacked" off of Morris and Jerome. That's where Fonzworth Bently came in. P. started putting his " Royal Servant " on stage with him. Made Fonzworth famous. Morris was always talented. It was just a Perfect moment in time. Prince and Morris elevated each other. There is a difference between coat riding and no talent. In Morris case, They complimented each other. Living through these times it's obvious. Both Truly Talented. Putting Jerome in too. That's what made these bands so great. The comrodary amongst them. Remember everybody.

I don't think he's hurt but I do think he feels betrayed considering these guys have been friends since childhood and I am sure Morris thought when he put The Time together that Prince would let those guys write and produce for themselves which never happened. Prince was a talented guy no doubt but as a friend, he wasn't very good to Morris. Vanity told a story that the reason she broke up with him was because of his controlling nature and she didn't like it and told Prince that but he wouldn't change so he ran her off as well.

@lwmson 4 жыл бұрын

I'm sure he's still a bit angry about certain things, and, assuming he's telling the truth, Prince did shit on him on a few occasions. But the fact is that had it not been for Prince, Morris would have never become a star and achieved success in the music industry. Had it not been for Prince, he probably would have spent the rest of his life working in that Montgomery Ward store in Gaithersburg, MD.

Prince was the opener with Bootsy's Rubber Band coming on second!! Imagine that today??? Prince, Bootsy, and Rick James on one show!!! Concerts were soooo good back then and were affordable. Prince was not received well at all at this show. Everyone was aghast at the attire that he and his band wore. Andre Cymone had on see through pants, Dez had on rock garb, and Prince was dressed like...Prince. No one knew what to think of them at that time. Only Soft & Wet was familiar to the crowd and the rest of his set people were booing loudly and chanting We Want Rick (Rick James) especially when he started singing Still Waiting. My friends and I loved Prince even at that early age. A superstar in the making...

The Time is an example of "everything happens as it should" Jam & Lewis fired (freed) become the greatest producers of all time, Jesse Johnson had a stellar solo career, Morris Day solo career and acting, Monte & Jellybean became great producers among other things, Jerome did some acting, contributed to The Time' s stage presence as well as production things but image for a moment if they took the lesser road and complained about everything where would they be???

Morris just keeps getting more valuable as a person as I get to learn and see what kind of human being he really is!! We already know how gifted he is as a singer, songwriter, dancer, entertainer, actor, etc. But, boy, who he is as a human being as I'm beginning to learn and see in him just amazes me and I have so much respect and admiration for his character and heart. What a great man he is!! His talent is just extra!! You inspire me!!

Prince gave Morris everything. He took him from behind his drum kit (he was originally supposed to be the drummer), gave him his personae, instructions on how to rock that, gave him all the songs and the rest is a wrap. Morris was so stressed out about being thrust in front as the singer that Prince literally told him to just "be coo'".

Watching this interview in real life Prince was the villain always fucking Morris Day over his whole life! Morris Day I wish you the best in life and never stop making great music.

I have seen so many talks with Morris Day, even met him at a few clubs while he was performing and he always seemed a bit out of place and maybe just a bit too much into his character/persona? He rarely seemed to be real and just down to earth it seemed? Here he seems totally real and giving it his best disclosure of his history and experiences. He really seems like he's just being his true self. A really straight forward (No BS) conversation. Its truly good to see him like this, he seems like he's come full circle with his past and present life experience! Amazing interview!

It doesn't get any bigger than Prince. You can't even expect to be NOT asked questions about stuff like that if you were fortunate enough to have known him. Prince created an entire genre when nobody else had even heard about who he was. All these guys moved and shaked as a result of that genre. It is the sole reason many of them are who they are. They are inseparable in history and legends in their own right because of it.. Prince's story is their story. Even moreso now that he Rest in Peace and these guys are still here. It is what it is.
