    Great video, but what I found interesting is that Prince didn't keep Morris as a drummer. Never really knew why Prince hired Bobby Z. According to Morris his dream was to be a drummer not a singer. It was Prince that talked him into fronting The Time and singing...

    • @rinse-esnir4010
      @rinse-esnir4010 2 года назад +3

      What I understood from Morris his story is that Morris his mother moved away to Detroit, and Morris went with her. And so they lost contact. And when the first album of Prince came out, Morris decided to hook up with Prince again.

    No "Minneapolis" sound at the time? The clubs were thriving with great pre-disco funk bands Good Vibrations, Danny's Reasons, the Mystics, and so many more. I'm the same age as Prince and at 16 they were letting me in clubs so I'm sure they influenced him.

    Not the best interviewer....When the engineer was getting going talking about the first "session" in LA with all of Warner Bros. producers, he was about to go somewhere interesting and the cat asked him an innocuous question that made the engineer lose the thread...he never regained the thread of the story, "You were there too?!", and that's all she wrote...Too bad. As an interviewer one has to know when to keep one's mouth shut and let the subject feel free to speak. Let the people speak!!
