Did prince write and play 777 9311? Man the bass and guitar are awesome and very well recorded as well.
I know others actually contributed to the Time stuff but was this song Prince?(i know he did the bass) | |

I know others actually contributed to the Time stuff but was this song Prince?(i know he did the bass) according to "possessed: the rise and fall of prince" written by alex hahn (billboard books 2003), pg 54 "the single 777-9311, propelled by Prince's skillful bass playing, became a modest hit.". not sure of writing credits though(read this chapter last nite!) seems that i was busy doing something close to nothing, but different than the day before | |

Pretty much everything on What Time Is It is Prince...think Dez wrote the lyrics to Wild & Loose but other than that it's a one man show. | |

ha wild and loose is the song i thought sounded weak as well. Prince rips himself off on this album but i guess he's allowed to. Prince must of like morris and the time alot to give him and them full writing credit. Did morris actually help co-produce it though? | |

Think he just wanted the album to stand and fall on it's own, hence all the different writing credits. Don't even think Morris had a hand in producing either...all he did was go over Prince's original vocal. | |

When asked in a magazine player what he considered his best bass line ever (I think this was in 1999/2000), he picked "777 9311". | |
