Ashley: 40 years ago that’s how it was. No Internet! No Cell Phones! No Social Media. Men had to almost beg…. Listen to the lyrics to the songs of late ‘70s and 80s
One of the best baselines around. The Time has performed their "mirror" skit so many times, but they still look like they enjoy it. Great band. RIP Prince.
You can tell how much Prince was inspired by the Funkadelics on this one. Fantastic!!! Prince gave a lot of million-selling records away to other artists. Just a truly phenomenal artist.
Hey 👑. Prince formed the Time, and pretty much wrote and produced their first couple of albums, Gigolos get lonely too was on their first album. The original of that song that you reacted to, was basically the demo by Prince for Morris Day, Prince and Morris Day grew up together in Minneapolis, and they were his "rival" band in Purple rain.
Hey haters Morris Day is a great artist Morris Day is the one we talking about right now what they did all this itself more state is a start more than they deserve credit Morris Day is a star!💯💯👍🏻👍🏻🙏🙏👊👊💥💥
You remember your reaction of Prince's demo track for "Gigolos Get Lonely Too" you recently reacted to? That same song (which is also on the the Time's album) was a guide track for the funk group Prince conceived--The Time. The dude on the cover (Morris Day) is/was Prince's best friend and former bandmate. and a GREAT drummer. Prince came up with the Time to unleash his new wave funk side. "777-9311" is one of the Time's most groundbreaking jams. So yeah, Morris "looks" like Prince for a reason. The Time was basically him on mostly all the instruments with the great Day on lead vocals and drums. Prince's genius' knew no bounds.
You might've helped with my issue with listening to Prince's music. I have a hard time listening to his full albums because i'm always trying to look for a consistent sound (particularly Funk more similar to I Wanna Be Your Lover), but that sound wasnt consistently in his own music. So i gotta go listen to the Time. Makes sense. Prince was basically doing the Parliament vs Funkadelic thing that George Clinton did based on what you're saying.
@@smoothsavage2870 Yeah....Prince wasn't one for boxes or consistent sounds. He's all over the place. The Time albums (The Time, What Time Is It, Ice Cream Castles and Pandemonium) are filled with that "Prince funk" groove. But if you want to hear Prince going hard on that sound check out: "Uptown," "Head," "Controversy," "Let's Work," "Lady Cab Driver," "DMSR,""Iressitable Bitch," "17 Days," "America," ""Anotherloverholenyohead," of course "Kiss," "Housequake," "Scarlet Pussy," anything on the Black Album, "We Can Funk" feat. George Clinton, "Gett Off," "Billy Jack Bitch," "Mr. Happy," ect....
Prince went by the alias Jamie Star. He produced, wrote, and produced albums for the Time, Vanity6, and Apollonia 6. The Time was made up of a few of his childhood friends like Morris Day (lead singer) and Jimmy Jam who would later go on to form the great production team Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Terry Lewis was also a member of The Time he was the bass player.
The band The Time was created by Prince in the late 1970s. Prince handpicked the members of the band and mentored them. He brought together talented musicians and performers, including Morris Day, Jesse Johnson, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, Monte Moir, and Jellybean Johnson. Prince served as the producer and songwriter for the band's music, and they became known for their unique blend of funk, pop, and R&B.
Yes indeed! I was 23 when this song came out. This is in my top 5 favorite jams of the 80s and I still have the album. I love to see you jammin' to it. This song is buck-wild funk nasty🤗💃🔥
him.and prince been partnas since high school...the group the time, used to play background for him before the revolution back when they were in high school, and Jimmy jam and Terry Lewis came from the group the time
Its interesting to observe a woman's modern day take on music of the past. The fact that you said "he could be a serial killer!" as the first thought shows just how much society has changed. Most women from the 80s would not have seen a man asking for a phone number with intent to come over as being "creepy" or with an intent to do harm. Women back then knew the intentions of the men of their era. For them, it was a simple yes or no, and that didn't mean never, it just meant "not today" and it was no harm, no foul. Society has really devolved and I think the modern music is both an example of it and the reason behind it.
@@jmac3977 There has been an emphasis on instilling a general fear of men s a default setting in younger generations; but that's another conversation for another youtube channel. Peace.
Guys always asked first for girls phone numbers, and they usually exchanged numbers back in the day. That wasn't unusual at all. Most of the time, girls wouldn't if they weren't interested
Yeah it's really good....check out Jimi Hendrix solo's on "Jimi Hendrix - Somewhere (Official Audio)"....it's other worldly, especially the ending solo......thought of it when I heard Prince on this.
The long version is 8+ minutes of pure unadulterated funk and if you want to see them perform this song I suggest the Soul Train video it's short but its funky too
Prince wrote and performed every instrument on this song. Morris Day just put his vocals on it. Prince created the band The Time in order release more of his music. There is a video for this song
To be that young and can overflow with so much original music to 4 bands! Create alter egos for yourself and characters for others! To be able to tear up the drums, bass, guitar, lynn machine, keyboards etc, etc! Prince was a genius from his teen years!
Another Prince-related track along the same line, with a *drummer* tearing up a guitar, is the album version of "Innocent" by Alexander O'Neal, who was supposed to be the Time's original lead singer. Also check out "Quickie," by Geoege Clinton, and the version of "Maggot Brain" on Funkadelic's "One Nation Under a Groove" album.
Didnt know about the Alexander O'Neal connection! Although i cant lie, i only really know Alexander for that Saturday Love song, and more recently there's this one song they've been using on the clock app that's gained popularity to represent the 80s.
Jesse is a great guitarist he just didn’t play on this studio version. He played it live sure but Prince did EVERYTHING on this except he programmed the LINN DRUM for percussion. Jesse has said himself that Prince used his guitar to play the solo because he liked the sound he was getting out of it and wanted it to sound like The Time and not Prince.
This is all Prince with Morris’s vocals. Prince produced, wrote, and is playing all the instruments on this track. The Time were Prince protégés. Hence the reason Morris looks like Prince. You gotta watch the Purple Rain movie.
The lead guitarist for this band, Jesse Johnson, has a solo record titled 'Free World' that is also very very funky. You gotta do a reaction to that one. You'll like it! Good reaction! ✌️😎
When I was about 18, I looked the word: cool up in the dictionary and a picture of this group popped up. Lol. The drummer is slaughtering this beat, totally amazing. Great reaction!
Maybe the funkiest groove of all time. Certainly the intricate drum part, which was pieced together by Prince and Jellybean, remains a trial for many drummers up until today.
🔥🔥🔥🔥Terry Lewis Played The Hell Outtta That Guitar 🎸 !!.Him And Jimmy Jam On The Damn Keyboards....😯"OOOOOOWEEE!!!"😁..THEY WERE KILLIN' IT!!...In All Their Songs They Wrote and Produced. This was a Great Reaction Miss Ashley👍🏾💯👍🏾💯
Hold on to those headphones! Prince needed a band to front the music he didn't want to release under his own name. He created The Time and Vanity 6. The 1999 Tour (the Triple Threat Tour) showcased all 3 acts in 1982-83.
Prince, Vanity 6, Appolonia 6, Morris Day and the Time, Jesse Johnson, and Andre Cymone! All grew up together and played together. Check out the movie Purple Rain! Also listen to the Times greatest hits and Prince has so many tunes, but a great reaction for your show would be "Pink Cashmere". Last if a performer came off the stage and sang to you, you might have given him your number, as they escorted you to the back stage Lol!
Well Prince's guitarist played the solo. His guitarist actual phone number was 777 9311 lol. Prince wrote and did play most of The Time instruments in studio.
The Time was one of Prince's creations and he wrote 6 songs on this album entitled: What time is it? also, did background vocals. On The Time's first album, entitled: The Time, Prince wrote all the songs, played all the instruments and background vocals. Prince was truly a musical genius.
So, a little history Ashley, Prince wrote, produced, composed, and played all of the instruments in the original recording or this album for The Time. Time's band members would then play the music in concerts exactly the way Prince composed. Alexander O'Neil was the original lead singer, and Morris Day was originally Times drummer until O'Neil was kicked out due to drug abuse, and Morris Day was pushed in front of the mic by Prince!😅
What music?!? He certainly DID NOT play an instrument on this song. Prince played every instrument, programmed the Linn Drum, even though Morris says “Jellybean” on the break. He also played the solo using Jesse Johnson’s guitar. Now, we know that Morris was a good musician in his own right and Color of Success was dope but you’re not accurate on this Morris and Jesse would produce more on the Ice Cream Castles album
@marcswift4462 Morris Day did an Awesome job with Color of Success there was no Prince on that song just the Time whether you respect him or not it's A hit he did it by himself! He earned his way in talented mic.😑💯✌️👌🙏
The group was formed by Prince, and he was the one playing the guitar. Including in the group also was Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, who produced the early Janet Jackson songs and a bunch of hit songs.. The two came up with BVD (Bell, Biv, Devoe) from the 3 remaining members of New Edition after the others went solo. In the group also had Alexander O'Nei on drums who went solo and had several hits. The true band guitarist was Jesse Johnson who went solo but never had a breakout hit but several songs that did ok on the dance and R and B chart. Lead singer Morris Day also went solo and had several hits. Prince Purple rain movie this group was his rival.
It's actually Prince on all Background vocals,and played all the instruments except for the drums,,, it was programmed on a machine, Marris day song lead in Prince's studio at his house in Minneapolis
We didn't have those thaught processes back then it was not as bad as today. If you were grown, you could have grown fun. Morris day was hand-picked by Prince for the time band lead vocalist he was the drummer at first.
Prince wrote that song using that drum groove from the Linn drum machine...a drum groove written and programmed by David Garibaldi..the drummer for Tower of Power
IT'S PRINCE WITH HIS BOYS. Morris Day, Terry Lewis, Jimmy Jam all grew up together. Prince's homies since childhood. You can hear Prince in the vocals.
You're on it.....Prince brought them together. They were all doing music in different groups. You can hear Prince all through this, and that was the look of those times. Jesse Johnson went solo, and his album was full of that "Minneapolis" sound. The Time has some classics under their belt. I love their muzak!!
@sammjackson70 really...smh...I new that as well...ain't nobody hating on Morris. She said Morris looked a lil like Prince. My point was Jesse left and had the same look and sound. Smh...
Prince had so many productions! Try the unique group called "The Family". It consisted of two of Times members with additional artists from his Paisley Park lable. Prince also had a jazz ensemble that did well internationally called "MAD HOUSE"
The Time did most of the music by theirself yes Prince wrote some songs by Morris Day wrote some songs and did it by himself so if y'all can't give The Time no credit get away from the music this post isforall ofusTime fan!
@@sammjackson70 Lol I Iove The Time. I would never disrespect them - Morris, Jimmy, Terry, Jesse, and all of them. But, Prince is literally playing instruments and singing background on this song. 😂
The Time were a rival band from them growing up together. He said when signed a record deal, he did it in a way where could bring them (and other folkx they played with--and write for them. But they are the band he said he feared in a competition because Morris was more of stickler for rehearsal than he was😂 The Time included Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis who go on to write tons of cuts for other artist, namely Janet Jackson who made it big with their writing and production her second album, "Control" that put her on the map.
Only Prince could create his alter ego group, do all of music and trained them to the point where some nights on tour they kicked his ass. Who does that😂 I remember dudes who didn't like Prince saying they preferred The Time NOT KNOWING IT WAS ALL PRINCE. No matter what you wanted Prince had it on his shelf.
Morris Day is the lead singer of The Time. He and Prince went to high school together and started making music together. Prince put The Time on his Paisley Park label. This is that Minneapolis Paisley Park sound! Prince discovered a lot of great acts like The Time, Vanity 6, Sheila E., and more.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Prince wrote 60% of every song in the 80's. I swear. He wrote and composed and even background vocals for his buddies in MSP, music bros, and girls he wanted to sleep with. Prince in the back right here.
777-9311 was also a nunber to a dorm room at the University of South Carolina. Needless to say they got a lot of ohone calls when this song came out. You can still call number as it is still a working number
Thank you someone finally making sense once they can do it by herself he did it because that's what is a success and it still played today in the year of february 28th 2024
Ashley: 40 years ago that’s how it was. No Internet! No Cell Phones! No Social Media. Men had to almost beg…. Listen to the lyrics to the songs of late ‘70s and 80s
😂😂😂 So true! And Lord help you if the phone is busy - before call waiting.😆
Prince was so prolific that he had to create groups just to release all his music.
If Morris Day comes on to you, you don't know if he's kidding or serious. That's the charm.
Jim Jam and Terry Lewis, super producers from the 80s, were members of The Time.
Greatest producers of all time I said it
Yes Ashley, your spider senses were tingling, because Prince wrote, produced, and played all the instruments - Morris Day sang the vocals...
One of the best baselines around. The Time has performed their "mirror" skit so many times, but they still look like they enjoy it. Great band. RIP Prince.
Keep doing your thing Morris Day you're my second favorite singer!🎉
You can tell how much Prince was inspired by the Funkadelics on this one. Fantastic!!! Prince gave a lot of million-selling records away to other artists. Just a truly phenomenal artist.
That Bass line is Nice-ty 😮
777-9311 the long version set the party off😎I give this reaction 4 hearts ❤❤❤❤

@@sammjackson70 no one said he wasn't a Star....did u hear her say Morris & Prince looks like Brothers lol...she bought Prince name up too
@sammjackson70 . Yo ach. Where in the world did you get that anyone was hating on Morris Day?. Or did you just make that up?
Gigolos was going to be a Prince song, and the Time was going to have International Lover on their album. Prince decided to switch it.
This is the funky side of the Minneapolis Sound
He was always so fun to watch and listen to. He still performs
All that funk you hearing and that guitar solo you hearing and that background singing you’re hearing,All Prince !!!
You need to stop smoking that's the Time singing along with Prince that's Morris E Day leading, and singing !
No, its Morris Day singing, Prince singing backup vocals, playing guitar and bass, and drum programming and Monte Moir and Prince playing keyboards
Ummmm i said its Prince singing background
Those drums tho'!! If it was Prince or Jellybean Johnson, it was extraordinary! Damn, I miss this era of music.

@@sammjackson70 Please, even Jam & Lewis have said "The TIme was All Prince", lol.
The LEGENDARY Iconic Time
Another prince alum…true #prince aficionados recognize the beat…ALL PRINCE💜
The Linn Drums! 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
The Time were a rival band from them growing up together. He said when signed a record deal, he did it in a way where could bring them (and other folkx they played with--and write for them. But they are the band he said he feared in a competition because Morris was more of stickler for rehearsal than he was😂 The Time included Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis who go on to write tons of cuts for other artist, namely Janet Jackson who made it big with their writing and production her second album, "Control" that put her on the map.
Only Prince could create his alter ego group, do all of music and trained them to the point where some nights on tour they kicked his ass. Who does that😂 I remember dudes who didn't like Prince saying they preferred The Time NOT KNOWING IT WAS ALL PRINCE. No matter what you wanted Prince had it on his shelf.
I forgot about this one 777 ninetythree eleeeeeeven
You know you’re quite right, Ashley. Slow your roll. Great dance 💃🏽 music 🎶.
Morris Day is the lead singer of The Time. He and Prince went to high school together and started making music together. Prince put The Time on his Paisley Park label. This is that Minneapolis Paisley Park sound! Prince discovered a lot of great acts like The Time, Vanity 6, Sheila E., and more.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Morris Day and the time best album....check out they version of "Gigoloes Get Lonely Too".
You crack me up girl. So cute. I bet no one holds you up. I love your reactions.😂😆🤣😆😁
😂😂😂Look at her face smelling tha 80s funk up in here yo!!! That’s how we got down back in tha day.
YES. ABOUT TIME...LOL
Prince wrote 60% of every song in the 80's. I swear. He wrote and composed and even background vocals for his buddies in MSP, music bros, and girls he wanted to sleep with. Prince in the back right here.
Prince produced The Time he was the mastermind behind them and produced all of their songs with some help from Morris Day!
777-9311 was also a nunber to a dorm room at the University of South Carolina. Needless to say they got a lot of ohone calls when this song came out. You can still call number as it is still a working number
Fun fact - Prince actually produced this song....and played the guitar solo towards the end.
Great reaction Ashley. Prince wrote the song and played all the instruments
Check out Morris Day solo album 'Color of Success' 1985. Very underrated imho.
Thank you someone finally making sense once they can do it by herself he did it because that's what is a success and it still played today in the year of february 28th 2024
I actually never heard this version with the long guitar solo.
David Garibaldi programed the drums and Prince gave it the rest of the magic. Hall of fame tune.
U No What Time It Is 🎵🎼🎶🤫
My mama had this record. The baseline is ridiculous.… And next to 867-5309…. It was the most called number in the 80s lol.😂😂😂
Glad to see you enjoyed one Prince's best recorded guitar solos (although hidden in the Jamie Starr mix and anonymous album credit) ❤🔥
She wasn't around when prince brought the group out
