color of sucess and daydreaming both did well. They played almost every song on color of sucess on the radio in 85 and early 86. Of course his acting career never took off and guaranteed pretty much killed him putting out any new music

One of his best songs (well, that I liked) is a b-side written by he and his wife: "Maybe"

"Oak Tree" & "Fishnet" were his biggest solo hits -- both made the Top 20, I believe.

I just wish THE TIME would update their show. It is the same show they've been doing for years. Pretty much most of the show is the same as it was back in the 80s (except they've added 2-3 songs from Pandemonium). Update it. Thats what time it is!
The expanded version of my book PRINCE and The Purple Rain Era Studio Sessions 1983-1984 was released in November 2018. (www.amazon.com/gp/product/1538114623/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0) or www.facebook.com/groups/1...104195943/

I saw them twice in 2001 and both shows were different.

Am I the only person that didn't know Morris covered Rockwell's "Somebody's Watching Me" on the Haunted Mansion soundtrack a few years ago?
