What if things were a little bit different back in the day. Lets say Prince's backing band were the members of the Time, instead of the Revolution? How would history have been different? Do Wendy & Lisa get fired for taking an outside production gig? Would Terry & Jimmy have input on records like Wendy & Lisa?


He'd still have a production and writing duo to bounce ideas off of. But instead of Wendy & Lisa, it's Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. Jesse Johnson is here in place of Brown Mark. Monte Moir in place of Doctor Fink. Bobby Z is gone, and in comes Jellybean Johnson.


So, Prince & the Revolution now consist of:
Prince as leader
Jesse Johnson on guitar
Terry Lewis on bass
Jimmy Jam on keyboards
Monte Moir on keyboards and piano
Jellybean Johnson on drums


And meanwhile, the Time still features Morris Day as lead singer and Jerome as his sidekick.

The Time
Morris Day as lead vocalist
Wendy Melvoin on guitar
Brown Mark on bass
Lisa Coleman on keyboards and piano
Doctor Fink on keyboards
Bobby Z on drums
Jerome Benton as valet, percussion

OOOH!!!! Interesting!!!! Trade Wendy 4 Dez & the plot THICKENS........

WHAT?

Too simple to entertain: then the Time would be a group of overrated sidemen and the Revolution would be one of the tightest funk bands of all time.

no women in Prince's band -the doorway to his openess

The Time would have more diverse song subjects.

The Time was a sucsessful act even without Prince as front man. The Revolution couldn't do without Prince.
