Hi! I was watching Purple Rain for the first time last weekend and i liked the sound of Morris' songs. Is he actually a real singer , and where can I access his material?

Yes, he is a real singer. You can get his music at any record store. His band is called The Time.

i asked in my local record store, and nobody there has actually heard of morris or the time.
looks like im going to have to get his stuff off the internet.

You may try to look for him under Morris Day and The Time. He has, I think, 3 albums as Morris Day. Before that he was in THE TIME. There are 4 albums (?). Prince wrote most of the material.

Try a used music shop, look in the R&B section for The Time
(thats where I found them)

they are a real group. You've probaly heard of Janet Jackson?
well the two guys behind her music were in the group (Jimmy Jam& Terry Lewis)
And Morris Day is just the man!

If you like the Purple Rain music especilly, look for
Ice Cream Castles both of the movies songs are on it
plus I think the title song is pretty sweet and Chilli Sauce is so funny

ok, thanks for replying.
i will look for the album you mentioned.

oh, and i do know who janet jackson is

also, do you both know of any music similar to the music played in purple rain??
especially the stuff played by the time and the other song called mountaineer(i think its called), those songs are cool .

what the fk is a modernaire anyway??

i suppose you can ive only seen the film once.

icecool2k19 said:

i was supposed to add tell after can

Modernaire was performed by Dez Dickerson who was a guitar player for the
Revelution pre-1984 (hes in the videos for LRC, 1999, Contreversy, etc)
Wendy took his place, but I think his little cameo in the movie was
pretty nice anyway.

What's a Modernaire? No fucking clue. Probably a bad dancer in skin tight red pants.

A Modernaire is a hip, cool cat that knows all the latest dance moves
and groovey new styles to wear before everyone else

Im a Modernaire, how bout ya'll!

I don't think Dez should qualify then. His pants scared me.

Try AMAZON... you'll find quite a few items...

icecool2k19 said:

Wow, if the staff in your local record store have never heard of the Time, they shouldn't be working in a record store IMO. Granted, the Time were not the most popular band in the world, but they are known and they did have a hit or two. I hope you find what you're looking for.

dez is in purple rain? what cameo? what scene?

sosgemini said:

Dez is in a two second concert scene at 1st Ave. He and his band are performing the song Modernaire.

The best Time albums are the first two, 'The Time' & 'What Time Is It?'(the ones with Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis).
