Morris really took care of himself. He looks handsomer today than back in the day. He’s aging gracefully.
Yes!
Looks to me like the brutha’s eating right, staying in shape, and isn’t bitter about things. Those are the keys to aging well!
He really does take care of himself, it's encouraging.
YOU DO SEE THAT HAIR PIECE toupee right????????? I🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀💀

He is a jealous hater
@@shashonda8 The truth hurts sometime. And no ones a BIGGER PRINCE FAN THAN I AM! But he wasn't perfect. If All of his artists says the same thing, it may be true.
@@shashonda8 facts
@@minniehawthorne5620 No he wasnt but its easy to bash the dead for your 15nminutes of fame!He is re emerging by way of Prince Death. He need to have several seats
sharon pearson these are not really new stories. There is no hate he’s just telling like it went down.
Morris has the nicest smile..
A damn good dentist will make you smile look like that LOL
Yup! It’s the best money can buy😂
He never gets angry that people ask about Prince more than himself. Never.
Cuz that was the guy who changed his life. u gotta ride 4 ya partnas 💯
I have just one thing to say:
"WHAT TIME IS IT!!!!!⏰⌚⏰
Time to get wild and loose!
Fellas! Where the party at?
Showtime!!
That's right!
Gucci Time
Showtime !!!
This was the coolest dude there was.
Morris Day
COOL 😎 back in the day Legend somebody find me a mirror👓
Yessss!!!
Cold***
Yes. He wrote the book on Cool.
Morris is such a natural and VERY charismatic. I really enjoyed his innerview and Mario's revealing of his meeting with Prince(r.i.p.) was entertaining and a MUST listen!
Wow... Morris you still look the same... Cool and handsome... Good to see you loved your style and music 💛💗💛
Prince always saw potential in people. He gave Morris Day this stage his career. I don't think he would have became known in this way with out PRINCE and still to this day he is able to make money with this book. Love PRINCE but so sad is death but he set a lot of people up to make a living well after his passing. They all have stories to tell.
Their Cousins
@@jamarnave6203 They were not related.
@@jamarnave6203 they were best friends
Prince never talked much about his relationship with Morris. In Morris early interviews he always threw shade at Prince. I believe that the little success Morris got then went to his head which soured any best friend relationship they might have had. Sure Prince had him in his movies and even at a few concerts but that was hot at the time and I figured he was still trying to put a little change in his pocket because what else was Morris doing? The Time hasn't made any new music sense when?
@@debbiewilliams2367 Did you check out their album under their new name The Original 7? It's called Condensate.
glad to see Morris day getting some way too long overdue shine,morris and prince truly complimented one another,this book either needs to be a movie or a one man Broadway play or both,its dynamite
Morris still puts on a COMPLETE show!!! One of the best entertainers ever !!!!
I saw him in May and got to go on stage and do The Bird with him and others. Never forget that experience
Cool legend right here!! Will be getting that book.. My joint was GIGOLOS GET LONELY TOO...
Gigalos is my favorite Time song!
My favorite, too!
One of mine too, but I have to give thanks to Prince for writing, producing, and arranging that song plus many others for the Time. Prince was a badass! Here is Prince's - "Gigolos Get Lonely Too" (Official Audio) ua-cam.com/video/HVA8BrimcKk/v-deo.html on his UA-cam channel and also here's Prince's - "Jungle Love" (Official Audio) also on his channel: ua-cam.com/video/VimhzZyd0Wc/v-deo.html They are known as the "Originals" by Prince released by his estate in July 2019. Enjoy!
Oh shoot! I just wrote a comment saying that i play "Gigilos get lonely too"....12 times back to back.....And then i saw this!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes that song is a classic
Morris looks amazing!
I wish interviewers would do some research prior to these interviews.
THANK YOU!!!!
I truly felt like they didn't know (and appreciate) the icon that was in front of them. The interview was basic at best
@Patricia Walton STILL no excuse. And no, they're definitely OLD enough to know who Morris Day and The Time is... 😒
@patricia walton I agree. No excuse. I'm 35. The same age as Purple Rain lol. My parents put me on before I could barely speak. So even I know and appreciate their impact on music. Not to mention if you're gonna be in journalism, you need to know stuff BEYOND the surface!
I thought the same thing. Such lame assed questions.
Morris Day still is FINE 😉❤💞
Yes Lordt!
Yes lordy
I always had a crush on him when Graffiti Bridge came out. I was 8 years old. He has some pretty hair for a man! I was in love with Prince as well! He's smooth! Big Pimping!!!!!
Forever FINE💫💫💫💫
Yeeeeeeesssss!
Morris Day funny on " Purple Rain " him and the time were great.
Dorothy Aguilar are
He
@@rickwhite1252 yes l know either or "He and the band were great "
Dorothy Aguilar 😂
@@dorothyaguilar5639 ARE great dammit! Kidding. Don't worry about it, I was joking.
" the guy with the mirror?!" Jerome...his name is Jerome.
Who don't know this?
@@geozeo9573 Scott Evans don't I bet 😂😂😂😂
#fail 🙄🤦🏽♀️
@@geozeo9573 kit Hoover, apparently, Lol
@@geozeo9573 Jerome was the ultimate 'Wingman'. Kinda like Bobby was in James Brown's Band, if you wanna go back that far. Better believe Jerome was Prince's idea, because Prince was a huge admirer of James Brown. That was his idol
I grew up listening to 'The Time'. My father used to play the hell outta The Time. There was so much great original music in the 70's and 80's. Glad that I was old enough to witness much of it firsthand!
I met this brother a few years back. I will say Morris Day is and forever will be one of my all time favorite artist
Morris Day looks good and has a great personality he's a funny dude i can see why he and Prince were friends but there's nobody cooler than Prince he had it all.👑💜🎸
Plus Prince wrote the songs for the Time's first few albums! Yes, girl, Prince was a badass!
security of personal way
Sometimes I get lonely. Is a greatly underrated song.
Very well said and a 100 percent Facts. that song reminded me of a funkier smoother version of The Whispers love songs
The title is Gigilos get lonely too.
@@derricknregina DO YOUR HOMEWORK! The Time 1990
@Patricia Walton diff. song
Thank you!!
Morris looks so healthy and happy, he's so damn funny. What a great guest. Wish I'd known about the special screening of Purple Rain with Morris -- I would have been there.
Prince helps Morris discover his full extroverted potential, although he was a naturally introverted, music master on the drums and as a cool personality.
Very true. His personality came out when he became the frontman
I ask my mom to buy me a pair Stacey adams just because of this guy and the song the walk. they need to pay him for all of that business he got for them. " Damn , I'm about to walk a hole in my Stacey adams What time is it ? " lol.
Facts
Lol
I have 3 pair in my closet!
vincent conway I learned what fishnets and a camisole were thanks to the TIME👍✌😂😂😂
Morris talked about in another interview.how Stacy Adams would never give him an endorsement deal despite all the free press he gave them. So now he's about to come out with his own shoe line. Long overdue. He shoulda been did that
Your boy Bruno Mars stole this man's whole swag.
Facts!!!!
That's a good thing, that means someone finally in this ridiculous sloppy lazy trifling generation has some good taste!!! UHKAAY!!!
Keeping the cool and funk alive!
He stole his whole era's swag not just Morris...
BB BB So he's a admitted copy cat. So why couldn't he come up with his own as the past artist did? Just cause he gave props to creaters don't make it right. So he will always be #2 to whoever he copies
I could chill and listen to stories from morris all day and night. pun intended.about anything and anyone.
That's right, order the book, Must Have, well written. Really enjoyed it.
We love you Morris 💜
I finished his book the other day. It was a great read! R.I.P Prince 💜💜
Out of all songs, the white woman refers to “JUNGLE Love” 😆😆
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Because of course she would. LMAO
Basic and ignorant to life because they can't see beyond the blizzard...it blinds them....whiteout ...you can't see beyond the blizzard...everything WHITE....EVERYTHING! SAD !
My gawd people always looking for something to make it racial. Maybe that is the first song she remembers them for. It was their first big cross over hit. Jerk Out ended up being their biggest hit. Besides she said when the guy came out with the mirror (Jerome) when they performed Jungle love was the greatest move ever. There was absolutely zero racial intensions here. Get over yourselves.
jeez you guys ☝️! ok well anyways, i was all like" ice cream castles", "my drawers" "cool" "7779311"!
Loved the book.. Chilli Sauce!
Definitely going get the book.
Dam Morris still looking young and healthy
I bought the book last week. And I am anxious to read every page.
Morris' book was one of the best on Prince. I loved it. I have read several. Totally a good listen on audible.
He and Prince both had that comedy side of them.
"So what's the password?"
"The password is what?"
"That's what I'm asking you."
"WHAT IS the password!"
"I don't know. You tell me." Turned out to be a better movie than a lot of people expected. Morris looks great too. The book should be interesting, hopefully it'll be a profitable investment.
What?
Morris looks so so handsome. I forget every word that coming out of his mouth. Wow Morris.
The master at being Cool and he had the music to back it up. So many lessons learned. "Somebody bring me a mirror so I can count my cash!"
I had the Absolute Pleasure of being at that Q&A and Book signing. Morris Day was so humble. I got my booked signed and got to ask him a question. Even got to shake the Man's Hand. It is a moment I will never forget. YEEEESSSSS!!!!
Love that era of music which was absolutely positively phenomenally amazing🎶🎼💜💜💜🎼🎶💜💜💜🎼🎶💜💜💜🎶🎶💜💜💜Love & miss Prince who left a great great Legacy...Morris Day & The Time, your musical legacy is so so appreciated..Thank You.. MD it’s ok to cut a rug here and there. Great Job fellas 🎼💯🎶
Morris is so talented, smart, charming, and funny. He smoothly ignored her little attempt to throw him off with the ...I bet you can't resist dancing to Jungle Love , whenever you here your song playing... :/ Glad he kept promoting the new projects.... :)
#Prince , #MorrisDay & #TheTime #4Ever
Damn! Morris is like Fine bottle of wine! He aged with Time!!! Damn he looks good for his age!
Morris Day is cool. Love his moves and his music. To realize he was with Prince makes the story even much more fascinating.
He still says "YEESSZ"...lol
“Somebody bring me mirror” !! 😍🤩
I was 20 years old in 1984 when I went to see Purple Rain. I was feeling disappointed at that point because my favorite band then, The Time was sort of broken up with the loss of key components, Jam and Lewis. But as I watched the movie, Morris lit the screen up and to me outshined everyone in the movie with his coolness and humor. Still loved Prince, but the original 7 were it for me....
@Ron Davis Yeah he did. They were just about to take it to the next level....
Straight Outta East St Louis Illinois, I am honored to have been the *mirror man* background vocalist and percussionist for Morris Day and the Time from April 2007- February 2015, my last performance with them on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Thank you for allowing me to fulfill my dream of being with the baddest band in the land (B.B.I.T.L.)....Congratulations Mr. Morris E. Day on your new book, album and much continued success to you and the organization!😎
Always good to see Morris, but they didn't hardly let him finish a statement. Why have a guest on & not give him the respect of letting him talk?
Morris looks amazing!
As a music fan, definitely one of the most fascinating friendships. Sounds great live still. Got to read it over.
This was a great era of music thx for the memories Morris and the time and PRINCE
Yesssss 😍 😍 morris
One K😎😎L ... Cat🐆❗
PS: In their Prime... The Time was
WORTH, every cent of the
Admission... they gave A SHOW❗
Prince knew Morris Days' talent,
that's why he invested in the group
The book is very good! Go get it peeps....
SheisAware Now 😃👍
Morris is the definition of fine and or course--Cool!💜💜💜
Morris Day still looks good !!!!
Morris is a very handsome man ! and yes lots of charisma; great sense of humor. Is he married ? LOL - He looks better now than he did in the "Purple Rain" days. Taken great care of himself. Love his Prince stories, too. I'm going to Amazon Prime and ordering this book pronto.
Yes morris is married.
@@car5757 too bad. lol - he's a catch
Ur right he is a catch!!
He's been married for twenty something years.
@@car5757 lucky her then lol
Morris put it down when comes to dressing too....& all the guys in the time, love that 40's style.
We will never have times like this again!!
It's been 35 years since Purple Rain, and Morris Day is still cool, funny, and very good looking! Good to see him happy and healthy.
Did you notice.That each guy host are starting to talk like morris.
LOL
I thought that I was the only one who noticed that.
'Morris Day talk' is contagious....
🤣🤣🤣
Everyone needs a Jerome in their life to pop out wit a mirror
I know this sounds crazy....but everytime i pass by a mirror i utter in my Morris Day voice..."jesse...n- now jerome....yaaassss!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺
Morris Day is the 😎 coolest kat ever born... God bless him.... Rest in purple 💜💜 paradise ...Mr. Prince Rogers Nelson ✌💗
Morris looks good. Hope he continues to stay happy and healthy❣👏
so many one liners from purple rain. its just as fruitful as Friday or new jack city when it comes to the witty one liners. I need to watch it again, to pick up even more lol.
Damn, Morris still has it going on!! Yaaaaassssss! 😘
I love him he was in my hood back in the summer. Concert was phenomenal, and yes him and his band was fire. #morris❤
I loved the book!
Morris, You are a Legend. The Kooliest Ever, that's spelled with a Frozen K.
How can you out do the person who wrote all of your hit songs. Gave them to you. Taught you how to play them and what to do on stage? You were just lucky enough to be that dude at that time and place...Name me a hit song by the Time that wasn't writing by Prince! I'll wait...
Truth
@Patricia Walton And those are their big hits? Please...Nice try tho...
Morris Day still has it! Always will.
Morris we love you❤️❤️❤️
Who is still listening to Gigolos need love too here in 2019 😘🎊🎉🎶🎵🍾🥰 I thought that Prince and Morris Day were cousins, guess not 🤔
Song is called “Gigolos get lonely too”, also check Prince’ version...
;)
"Ain't nobody baad like me"
"C-O-O-L" what that spells? Thanks to Prince for writing such a badass song plus many others for them (The Time) back in the day!
November 20, 2022 Thank you. I witnessed you with the Time and Prince Twice.
His suit is so crispy, you can hear it on the mic!! 😎
🍷Still Fine in 2019💋
I wanted to hear more about the dance choreography how that came about then that woman butted in..
.damn
I bet she butted in because there was someone off camera telling her to move the topic on because this was book content.
One of My grandmother's favorite singer! Bring back some great 80s memories OH WE OH WE OHHHHH!!!
He so handsome.
Morris talking about Prince just staring at him - apparently that was his way. He did the same to Steve Lukather when Steve was on a session, and Lukather was kind of weirded out by it. Prince was new in LA and no one really knew who he was yet.
Wuz dis, @ a concert? Y wuz Steve Lukather, playing n Princez presence?
Edit..... U said - A SESSION. Whut session? Did Lukather ghost play sum prince soloz, or sumthin?
The women interviewing had to be the most typical one. Asking the same boring question.
Morris Day #unsunglegend One of my favs of all time SALUTE!
I GOT TO SEE MORRIS DAY, & THE TIME IN CONCERT FOR FREE,.. @ THE MOTOR CITY CASINO,.. YEARS AGO!!! & THEY ROCKED THE CROWD!!!!
I wish the guy didn't interrupt Morris Day how him and Prince became friends.
Morris hasn't aged a day since 1984
He looks great for 61, but don't let makeup and hair dye fool you. He is still the coolest cat though.
@@chrisgowers8094 its TV, they all got make up on, i get your point but that dude literally looks like he left the set of Purple Rain and took a limo to that interview... Your right Chris, Dude is the coolest .. Ice Cold.
So laid back chill. Smooth brother in R&B music.
I saw The Time, and Prince at the Oakland Coliseum, i believe it was 82, and I don't remember much about Prince, but the Time kicked ass!
That is awesome you got to see them live. Sure wish I would have seen Prince before he passed away his last performance was at the Fox Theater in Georgia where I live
Neither of them handled themselves well during the Purple Rain time. Prince was supposedly controlling and Morris forgot he was a hired hand. Morris stopped showing up. The scene in PR where Jerome was standing in the doorway talking to P - Morris was supposed to be there too. He didnt show up for work. So sorry they went thru that but glad they made up. 💜
No, Prince was. I've got every one of his albums. His work is autobiographical. He tells you he's controlling, strict, a perfectionist, & a disciplinarian. Morris isn't the only person who knew Prince VERY well to say this! The facts are what they are. Lol!
@@tracymiller1713I didnt say he wasnt controlling. Most people say he was, so not sure why thats an issue. And secondly, all his albums are not autobiographical. He even said, sometimes a song is just a song - especially since a lot of his music is contradictory, just like his interviews - on purpose. His life INFLUENCED his music, true, but that is not the same autobiographical.
The blanket statements about his life is the reason he didnt do Purple Rain 2, because he said he didnt want to get stuck with that "character" and people thinking they knew who he was. He was not "The Kid" and PR was not autobiographical - it had some truths, however.
@@tesswonderful4194 You said "supposedly controlling". Not supposedly, HE WAS. He didn't talk about his childhood & his personality in every album. I didn't say that. I SAID I HAVE EVERY ALBUM. He does give insight into who he is as a person and his childhood through his catalog. Go sit down. "When I call you up, I wanna tell you what to wear. Don't be surprised if I tell you to go bare. As long as you wash between your soul and through your hair." That's lyrics from the song "Come". You really think he wouldn't tell Mayte what outfit she was going to wear on dates, you're crazy! That in addition to 2 miscarriages & who knows what else, contributed to the demise of their marriage! The song, "Animal Kingdom", told the world he was a VEGAN! The song "Papa" talked about his stepfather locking him in a closet as a form of punishment. You're just not going to be able tell me much about one of my favorite artists of all time! Are you serious, or are you one of those people who hate being corrected! Bye Felicia! Lol!
@@tracymiller1713 I said "supposedly" because I wasnt there. All any of us have to go on is what other people say. I dont get the big deal and the quibble over a word.
@@tracymiller1713 Girl, you have issues. I dont argue over this stuff. I have been a Prince fan since age 20 and I am 68. So I am not sure who you think you talking to, but you enjoy yourself, by yourself. 😂😂😂 Too funny.
Great book. Morris lookin good. Mario Lopez is cool too, but them other two interviewers gotta go.
Ikr
Morris' song in remembrance of Prince is so beautiful. Prince is proud. Morris Day , like a lot of us , has mellowed.
Morris Day, talented man and rather lovely with it
Ummm could it be prince out did himself being that he created the persona and the grooves???
I still jam Morris Day and the Time still cool screwed up Prince Controversy tha shit
We can certainly credit Prince with some of the "grooves", but not all of them. The Time featured industry giants Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, as well as then lesser known musicians like Boney James, who is one of the greats in the Smooth Jazz/Jazz arena. Prince deserves credit for discovering them, but all of the masterpieces that those gentlemen created on their own speaks for itself.
@@primejudicator7817 Some credit? Yes, they're extremely talented but without PRINCE they wouldn't have popped. HE kicked in the door for everyone. So he deserves much more than "some" credit.
@@lyricistanonymous8126 Agree to disagree. I feel that great talent always rises to the top, no matter who may have discovered them. It's worth noting, for example, that the aforementioned Boney James didn't stay with the Time for that long. He blew up well after the group sunset the first time. So yes, I give Prince "some credit" the way that I give Michael Jordan's coaches prior to Phil Jackson "some credit". Their ultimate success doesn't diminish Prince in any way.
@@lyricistanonymous8126 "Exactly" Prince was a badass especially writing the songs on their 1st two or three albums.
i’m mad she didn’t know the guy with the mirror’s name is Jerome.... who doesn’t know Jerome lol
Would have loved to see Prince and Morris Day and the original Time and Apollonia 6 go on a reunion tour that would have been so awesome...RIP YOUR ROYAL BADDNESSS!!!
I miss this.... I was in grade school...great man! Great performer!!
