Jungle Love?....Hmmm I thought Prince wrote that song!!!

The time's shit was more of a collabo album than people think. Jesse and dez dick played a part in the first two albums; not just prince!

where u been?

Uptown's The Vault has this to say about who did what on The Time albums:

Tne Time: The album contains six songs. 'Cool' is registerd a the Library of Congress as a Prince/Dez Dickerson colaboration (lyrics by Dickerson, music by Prince). 'After Hi School' is attributed to Day, yet Dickerson claims it was actually written and demoed by him. Similarly, 'The Stick' was a song by Lisa Coleman, but the Library of Congress lists Prince as the sole writer. Except for Day's songwriting credit on 'After Hi School' and Dickerson's co-writing credit on 'Cool' all the songs are registered as Prince (as Jamie Starr) composiitions at the Library of Congress.

The Time album was recorded in Prince's home studio in April 1981 with the exception of 'Oh, Baby' which was a leftover from the Prince sessions. Prince plays more or less everything on the album. Dr. Fink delivers synth solos on 'Get It Up' and 'The Stick' while Coleman provides some backing vocals. Prince's voice is often audible in the mix.

What Time Is It: was in all essentials conceived and recorded by Prince. The Starr Company is listed as the producer of the album. Prince isn't credited on the album but he wrote all the six tracks, barring 'Wild And Loose' which was a collaboation with Dez Dickerson (who wrote the lyrics).

Ice Cream Castle:The Time's third album, Ice Cream Castle, was largely a collaborative effort between Prince, Morris Day, and Jesse Johnson. With the exception of 'The Bird' which was a live recording by The Time, there was very little musical input by the other Time members. The songwriting credits on album sleeve read 'All jams by Morris Day except 'Jungle Love' written by Morris Day and Jesse Johnson.' However, The Library of Congress lists three of the songs as Morris Day/Jamie Starr (ie Prince) compositions: the title track, 'Jungle Love' and 'The Bird'. The other three songs are credited solely to Jamie Starr.

Johnson later said that he did in fact write 'Jungle Love' and that he was removed from the credits when he left The Time. His claim is substantiated because when the Ice Cream Castle songs were initially registered at the Library of Congress in May 1984 when the group was still together, Johnson was listed as writer with Day and Prince of 'Jungle Love' and 'The Bird'. His name was mysteriously ommitted in July 1985 when the songwriting copyrights were changed on the two songs.

Now what can Lisa Coleman possibly know about working a stick? Now if she wrote "vibrator" I'd understand...
