Damn. 1983/84, senior HS. I was a Jimi Hendrix fanatic and only wished I had bought ALL the Prince produced music back then. This is music for the AGES. The Time, Masarati, The Family, Sheila E. et al.

In all due respect, Prince created everything.

No one mentioned that 777-9311 was the phone number of Dez Dickerson Prince's guitarist, until shortly after the song was released that is. More Prince humor!!!

[@tonybarnes2920]

Yeah, it's pretty obvious that Morris was nervous to begin with, let alone questions probing into the origins of The Time. I wonder if Dick new... he had to. You don't ask that many questions about one subject, unless you're looking for an answer you haven't gotten.

Can you expand on what you are saying here, as.you are kinda of saying something but NOT saying it at the same time, thank you!

[@tonybarnes2920]

@@rojajorba22 I think Dick Clark knew that The Time was a construct of Prince's, assembled and controlled by Prince at the time.

[@connieclay3342]

I agree with you. I don't recall Dick ever probing so much into how a band came together. I think he wanted Prince's name brought up. He was going a little too hard. 🤣
