I'm dyin!!!

I hadn't heard this track in YEARS!! & i used to JAMM 2 it!!! I mean i played the hell out of it back home!!Especially the extended version. I remember my Dad yellin' at me 2 "turn that sh*t down!"
(man i miss those days!!)

But DAMM!! if I don't feel like i'm lisnin' 2 Morris!!
I didn't realize it back in the day, but that's probably why i loved this song so much then, & STILL DO, NOW!!!
Esp. at the beginnning where he says, "Can I get some nasty bass?"

Damn!! I'm grinning from ear2ear right now as i listen & type with excitement!!

that song is too dark and serious for morris....

You do kind of have a point there b/c I was listening to the 12 inch version of Fake and yes it did have a Morris vibe going for sure.

YEEEESSSS!!!!

My thoughts exactly.

I love this track and it does have a Morris Day feel to it. I had a friend burn me a copy of the song "Fake" because I bought Alexander O'Neal's first album and the only song I liked was "Innocent". I never heard any other fast tracks played on the radio from the second album back in the day, so I assumed there weren't any and never bought the album.

Now, I just wish my friend had Alexander O'Neil's Christmas Song, "Sleigh Ride".

Oh. My. God. The Org moves in mysterious ways! I bought 'Hearsay' - just browsing - this weekend.

That kills the thread I was gonna create, then.


Firstly - what the HELL was I doing in 1987 when 'Fake' came out? I'd never even heard of it until I bought this. (My mate knew I'd love it, though. Love that rhythm). 700,000 copies of the album were sold in the UK alone, apparently.

Secondly - I definitely hear the Morris vibe. First thing I thought of when I heard this track. And with Jellybean, Jimmy, Terry and Jerome included it's a bit like the interim album between 'Ice Cream Castles' and 'Pandemonium'.


Now I need to find out more about Alexander O'Neal!

ill conceed that i havent listened to enough The Time to hear the comparison ( i only know them from their hits)....

its just, well.....Alexander is soo much better at vocal executions..and ive followed his career i guess im just bias..




when i hear morris singing, ive always gotten too embarassed to want to listen on..

sosgeminini - I also bought his eponymous album but I haven't had chance to listen to it yet. Any particular albums you'd recommend?
