This goes to show you how out of the loop I am on this site. I've been reading certain things about Jerome Benton no longer a member of the Time and I would like to know what happened? Can someone fill me in?

Right now, Jerome is not performing with The Time. But the fellas and fans all miss him and once a Time member always a Time member. Check the history books with The Time, no one leaves for good. Jerome is a cool guy and really adds so much to the show.

Peace
Joe

I think Jerome left The Time because supposedly The Family is reforming/reformed to record a new album and eventually do some touring and he reunited with them.

Actually, Jerome performed his last time in January. His reason is not for me to post but rest assure he is doing GREAT and has a lot in the works. Including the recent reuniting with The Family. Check out his myspace page for updated details on his new endeavors.

Love you JB!!

ooh ooh I know but I'm not saying b/c I'll get kicked out of the circle

Joe, you broke it down eloquently. Once a member of the time, always a member of the time.

The actual last show Jerome performed with the Time was new year's eve 2006

Hopefully he will make it back to the Time at some point, but I will support any projects he comes up with on his own as well

Great entertainer and even a better person

I love Jerome

My friends went to the Taste of Minnesota on Tueday Night. Morris Day and the Time performed there. Jermone was up on stage doing his gig that night with the band.
It dosen't look like Jermone has left the band quite yet!

Hmmmm...well actually Mr. Benton was not there and actually wasn't in the state of Minnesota Tuesday night. But we sure would love to have him back with the group!

DJJillMonroe said:

yeah, we'd sure love to have him back by July 27th, 2007 too

I guess "Jermone" must've taken Jerome's place in the band

DJJillMonroe said:

Correct

saintlynno said:

That definitely wasn't Jerome. My Man hasn't played a gig with them this year.
Don't believe the hype

Sowhat said:

wtf? why? wow. bizarre. are the same 300 Prince fans going to be following them around the country on this tour? i hope so, for their sake. again, wow. cool, but wow.

Raze said:

All this info is grossly incorrect. Mr. Benton is not in the lineup, but will hopefully be back soon.

Jerome is as much to The Time as Morris Day is

I am not sure what is going on with The Family reunion at this moment. From what I've heard, work has been done, but it isn't a lock. It wouldn't shock me to find out that St. Paul was going to be on the road during the upcoming months... not doing Family shows, but other gigs.

Hopefully The Family will reunite for something special, but I don't think it is happening this summer or fall.

Of course, that could change in a heartbeat.
