Morris Day and his quirky accompanists have carved out a sizable cult following over the past two decades as purveyors of catchy, contagious, multilayered funk. Under Morris’ whimsical creative license the bunch quickly landed a recording contract with Warner Brothers Records, and cut their smash debut-album, The Time- where jovial Morris showcased his worth as more than just an animated musician, also directing the album’s production and performance output. A marketer’s dream – Morris has demonstrated a longevity that wasn’t necessarily intentional. Morris Day’s rarefied musical style marked the 80’s with trademark comical skits, trendsetting stage-gadgetry, and dance and R&B chart-bursters like The Walk, 777-9311, Oaktree, and Fishnet. A scene-stealing supporting role in lifelong pal Prince’s Oscar-winning flick Purple Rain, further exhibited Morris’ natural born inclination to act – be it on stage or the big screen. The 1991 reunion of Morris Day and The Time yielded Pandemonium – further symbolizing the group’s enduring lure – and so marked the next millenium’s diagnosed supersized case of Morris-mania.
