I've got to go with Jellybean on this one. Only reference I have of Morris playing drums is 'Cloreen Baconskin' and while it's funky it's just one track!

When eye go 2 a Prince concert or related event it's all heart up in the house but when eye log onto this site and the miasma of bitchiness is completely overwhelming!

Also Morris is on "Tricky", "New Power Generation" and probably the 1st 3 Time LP's

Also programmed "777-9311" w/Prince & more than likely programmed "Mechanical Emotion"!!!

Side Note: Prince ADMITTED that Morris is His FAVORITE Drummer!!!!!!

cool cool cool

I think that Prince said that Morris was one of his favorite drumming influences (Modern Drummer mag?).

I had forgotten that Morris supposdly played drums on NPG! Good catch.
