[QUOTE="Smackpixi, post: 8535279, member: 7028579"] I was really struck by how Prince-like The Time’s song was, wow, Minneapolis really had a sound. This motivated me to relate that when i went to the U of Minnesota in the mid-90s, there were at least two people on my floor of the dorm who’s entire reason for attending the U of M was to be near Prince, one was my roommate, who once claimed when he was 15 to have played in a Rick James cover band that opened for Soundgarden, and ater the show he smoked a bowl with Chris Cornell. People would go to Prince’s club, Glam Slam, because there was a rumor that maybe Prince might show up and do a song, maybe, but probably not, I can’t remember anyone ever coming back and saying he did. Must have occasionally. Anyway, I was motivated to look up The Time and see if I remembered anything they did. And while doing that, I discovered this gem about their first album that probably explains the sound… “With the exception of singer Morris Day, who was required to follow Prince's guide vocals note-for-note, none of the band played on their debut album. Prince instead played all the instruments himself, crediting the production to his alter-ego, "Jamie Starr", and Morris Day.” [/QUOTE]
