3. What Time Is It?

In late December 1981, during a break at his "Controversy"-Tour, [Prince] starts the recording sessions for THE TIME's second album. He recorded Gigolos get lonely too and Jerk out at his home studio again. The last mentioned song didn't make it on this album, but a reworked version surfaced on THE TIME's 1990 reunion-album [Pandemonium]. From 14th to 20th January 1982 the sessions continued at Hollywood Sunset Sound, where he recorded The walk, Wild and loose and a previously unreleased track called Colleen. Another previously unreleased leftover from this sessions was a song called Bold generation, recorded 11th January 1982 either at [Prince]'s home studio or Hollywood Sunset Sound.

On 8th March 1982, [Prince] plays a one-off gig in front of 700 people at First Avenue in Minneapolis. The loose 80-minute set was taped using a mobile recording unit. After a break THE TIME joined on stage to perform a previously unreleased song called Dance to the beat for the first time. [Prince] introduced this track with: "Y'all can play, but you gotta play some rock'n'roll. Don't come up here and play none of that old you-know-what!". The set continues with The stick with [Prince] teasing [Morris Day] by asking "Can you still play the drums?". Indeed [Morris] could and he played a monster drum solo at a raunchy performance of the set's finale "Partyup". The final show of [Prince]'s "Controversy"-Tour was played on 14th March 1982 at the Riverfront Coliseum in Cincinnati. The show turned into a funny full-scale food fight between THE TIME and [Prince]'s own band. During THE TIME's opening set, [Prince] and several members of his own band starts tossing eggs across the stage. [Prince] even sent his 6-foot-6 bodyguard, Big Chick Huntsberry, onstage wearing a woman's wig during a song in which frontman [Morris Day] flirts with a woman from the audience. While they were still playing, they rushed on the stage, grabbed [Jerome Benton] and took him to the dressing room, where they poured shaving cream all over him. After this, they took [Jesse Johnson], handcuffing him to the wall in the dressing room, while [Prince] jumped on stage and took [Jesse]'s place playing guitar for THE TIME. Once the show was over, THE TIME members went chasing after [Prince] and his band was armed with eggs and miscellaneous food too. "After the show, he fined us," [Jimmy Jam] later recalled, "and made THE TIME pay the overtime bill for the union crew to clean up the eggy mess."

After the 2nd leg of the "Controversy"-Tour and various sessions for his own new album "1999" as well as another project, the girl group Vanity 6, [Prince] continues the work for THE TIME. During May/June 1982 he recorded Onedayi'mgonnabesomebody, I don't wanna leave you, 777-9311 and Grace once again at his home studio. The last song ends finally up as the b-side of 777-9311. The sessions finished with final mixing at Hollywood Sunset Sound on 20th and 21st July 1982.

[What Time Is It?] was released by Warner Bros. Records on 25th August 1982. This time The Starr*Company is listed as producer of the album. [Prince] isn't credited on the sleeve, but in truth he wrote or co-wrote all songs as Jamie Starr again, except Wild and loose, with lyrics registered to Dez Dickerson. Vanity 6 provides some background vocals on Wild and loose and The walk. [Morris Day] adds lead vocals to all tracks again, but [Prince]'s own voice is often audible in the final mix of the songs.

THE TIME members wanted to contribute more to the music and they were becoming increasingly frustrated by [Prince]'s firm control on the band. [Jimmy Jam], [Terry Lewis] and [Monte Moir] had started writing music for their own and went beginning to contemplate independent careers. Following the "Controversy"-Tour [Jimmy Jam] and [Terry Lewis] went to Los Angeles to collaborate on their own material, which they felt didn't quite fit to the image and sound of THE TIME, as they considered the band to be more of a vehicle for [Morris Day]. [Prince] was opposed to their outside production work, which he felt detracted from their commitment to THE TIME.

What Time Is It?] shows a distinct improvement over THE TIME on almost every level. The production and arrangements are consistent with the debut album, but the melodic content is much stronger. At the same time, the record is much more funkier than its predecessor. It contains three mid-tempo funk songs, 777-9311, Wild and loose and The walk. The ballad Gigolos get lonely too is funky too, but has a looser, more relaxed feel. One of the highlight is I don't wanna leave you, an excellent pop/funk hybrid, drawing on the best of both idioms by combining an appealing melody and chorus with a funky beat. It's a real pity that this jewel never was performed live by THE TIME. Less impressive is Onedayi'mgonnabesomebody, a quick little rockabilly-flavored pop song of little merit.

Also the lyrics of [What Time Is It?] continues the theme of the first album. I don't wanna leave you concerns a do-wrong woman who has a reputation for running around. 777-9311 finds [Morris Day] trying to talk a woman into giving him her phone number. The title was actually Dez Dickerson's real telephone number, which created a lot of problem for him as soon as the album came out. Wild and loose is a straight forward party song about living life to the fullest and having a good time, while The walk stresses the importance of having a positive outlook on life and being honest to oneself. Onedayi'mgonnabesomebody is very much about [Morris Day]'s own life and the song is his declaration to be a star some day. The most atypical song on this album is Gigolos get lonely too, in which [Morris Day] sings the part of a Gigolo confessing to a woman, that even a professional seducer, such as himself, gets lonely once in awhile.

A non-album track, Grace, appeared as b-side of "777-9311". Employing the musical backing from 777-9311, the song consists an interview by a fictitious female journalist named Brigitte Harrington (performed by Vanity) with [Morris Day] and is sporting his self-assured and cocky attitude throughout. The song-title comes from his insistence on calling the interviewer "Grace" instead of her proper name "Brigitte".

OUTTAKE

Bold Generation is an unreleased song recorded on 11 January, 1982 at Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA (on the same day as Gigolos Get Lonely Too) during recording sessions for The Time's second album What Time Is It? album.

Although it is likely that only Prince and Morris Day appear on the track, it is listed as a song by The Time here as it was intended for the group, and the majority of The Time's tracks only feature these two musicians. The song was discarded, and remains unreleased.

One day I'm gonna be somebody
One day I'm gonna be rich
I'm gonna say my prayers and work real hard
So that I never have to dig a ditch

The only way I'd work at a car wash
Is if I owned the whole damn place
But if gettin' to the top means washin' a car
I'd be scrubbin' with a smile on my face

One day I'm gonna be somebody
Gonna stand out in a crowd
One day I'm gonna be somebody
Gonna make somebody proud

One day I'm gonna be somebody
Gonna stand out in a crowd
One day I'm gonna be somebody
Gonna make somebody proud

One day I'm gonna be a star
I'm gonna do whatever it takes
Why should I starve when I could be elsewhere
Makin' what the rich man makes

If I should die before I'm rich
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
But if I'm rich before I die
I wanna work 'cuz nothin' comes cheap

One day I'm gonna be somebody
Gonna stand out in a crowd
One day I'm gonna be somebody
Gonna make somebody proud

One day I'm gonna be somebody
Gonna stand out in a crowd
One day I'm gonna be somebody
Gonna make somebody proud

Somebody bring me a mirror

Somebody bring me a mirror

1.) the Walk
2.) 777-9311

It's all about self-respect...to take pride in who you are, the way you dress and groom, and the way you walk & talk. -Morris Day

Initial tracking took place on 14 January, 1982 at Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA (three days after Bold Generation and Gigolos Get Lonely Too, the same day as International Lover, and the day before Colleen).

As with most of the rest of the album, the track features only Morris Day and Prince. The song's spoken section introduces the idea of Morris Day referring to a woman as "Grace" regardless of her real name; an idea also used on Grace.

Say, hey baby, where you goin'?
.... I'm going home. I can't dance like that.
Well baby, that's because you got those jeans on to tight.
Now let's just take'em off.
.... What do you mean "Let's just take'em off?"
Come on, take'em off. I got something for you to wear. Here, put this on.
.... Uh, you always keep lingerie in your glove department?
None of my women wear gloves. Now put this on.
.... But...
But my ass. Hey, a play on words.
.... But all the girls will stare at me.
All the girls in this neighborhood already wear camisoles.
.... I know, but...
But, but... that's because it's cool. Now let's get them jeans off.
.... Ok, but I'm warning you.
Warning me about what?
Mm, God, this zipper's tight. Here, why don't you lay down?
.... Um, that's what I'm tryin' to tell you.
Stop tryin' to tell me things and pull!
.... But...
Come on, pull!
.... I'm warning you.
Mary, sweet mother Jesus!
.... I told you.
Damn baby, how'd you get all that in them jeans?
.... It wasn't easy.
I know that's right, mmm! Well, I think you'd be more comfortable in this.
.... I'm sure I would. I don't know.
Hurry up Grace, song's almost over.
.... My name's not Grace.
I know that, but hurry up... Grace.
.... Man, these are weird. I guess the tag goes in the back.
Hurry up!
.... OK, OK, how do I look?
Almost as good as me, now let's go!

.... Hey Morris, what time is it? Who's the lovely lady? Introduce us.
I'll introduce you to a headache if you don't get out of my face!

OK baby, now check this out. We gonna walk 'til the song's over.
In other words, meet me at the bar in 32 measures, cool?
.... Cool.
And if you're good, I'll let you work the stick in my ride. Uah ha ha!

[What Time Is It?] became an even bigger success than the last album, with going gold (about 750,000 sold units) again and hitting position #2 on the Billboard R&B-Charts and #26 at the Pop-Charts. The album yielded three singles. 777-9311 becomes THE TIME's biggest hit so far, reaching #2 at the R&B-Charts and #88 at the Pop-Charts. The walk made it to #24 and Gigolos get lonely too hits #77 at the R&B-Charts only.

On 11th November 1982, THE TIME left to tour with [Prince] again as support on his "1999"-Tour at Memorial Auditorium in Chattanooga. Named the so-called "Triple Threat Tour", it also features Vanity 6 as the 2nd supporting act. Vanity 6's usually brief 20-minute set was accompanied by THE TIME always playing the music part unseen behind a pink stage curtain with Jill Jones providing additional backing vocals. However, it was obvious that the performance of Vanity 6 was very silly and didn't have enough stage presence to make it a successful live-act. By contrast, THE TIME came alive when they hit the stage for their own usually 40-minutes set. The tight dance grooves, high-spirited stage moves and routines made them an exciting live band. They often got a very positive reviews and the reception from the audience was phenomenal, which created a professional rivalry between THE TIME and [Prince]'s own band.

Gigolos get lonely too (4:42)

I guess you've heard of my reputation, I've had my share of foolin' around.
But everybody needs stimulation, and mine just happens to be all over town.
It's an easy-money occupation, a first-class psychiatry.
But just once, I'd wanna make love without taking off my clothes.
Just once, I wanna make love with somebody who really and truly knows:

(chorus)
Contrary to rumor, gigolos get lonely too.
All my lovers need stimulation, but honey babe, I think that I need you.

Maybe you're the kind of person, that could turn my world around.
Won't you gimme little inspiration? Maybe that's what I need to make me settle down.
It's an easy-money occupation, but honey one thing understand.
I've got more money than you could imagine in your wildest dreams.
But honey, money don't make no happy man.

(repeat chorus)

Just once, I wanna love without takin' off my clothes.
Just once, I wanna love with somebody who knows.
That I got more money than you could ever see.
But honey, money won't get me up off my knees.

Gigolos get lonely too.
All my lovers need stimulation.
But honey babe, I think that I need you.

(repeat chorus)

What cha gonna do, baby?
Oh, what cha, what cha gonna do?

Ah, do you think we could have dinner sometimes, baby?
Well, how about to night?
Baby?

1.) Cloreen Bacon Skin live

Cloreen Baconskin is the eighth track on the second disc of Prince's 20th album Crystal Ball (his fourth using the name ).

The album is not clearly divided between Prince tracks and tracks, but the liner notes' discussion of this track discuss "Prince" making this track, so it is credited to Prince in this entry.

Initial tracking took place on 27 March, 1983 (the day after Jungle Love, and the same day as My Summertime Thang, during a two-day break from the 1999 Tour), at Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA.

The liner notes in Crystal Ball state that only Prince (bass guitar and vocals) and Morris Day (drums) appear on the improvised track (it incorrectly states, however, that the track was recorded during sessions for The Time's second album What Time Is It?, which was released the previous year).

While the track was created spontaneously, Prince used a similar emphasis on bass and drums on some later tracks, such as Irresistible Bitch, and music from Cloreen Baconskin was sampled (or simply quoted) in both Tricky and Soulpsychodelicide, before its own release many years later.

I don't wanna leave you (6:29)

People say you run around, I don't even care.
I could never hold you down, I don't even dare.
I just wanna play your game, no matter what the rules.
I've met an awful lot of dames, but not quite as bad as you.

Let me try to love you, I know I could.
One night to hold you, just ain't no good.

(chorus)
I don't wanna leave you, I don't wanna go.
Can't you see I need you? Girl, I need you so.

I will be your doctor babe, I'll make you feel alright.
I've got something to keep you warm, on a cold and lonely night, now turn out the light.
I will never tie you down, cuz I know you wanna be free, so free.
Say you'll let me come around, say you wanna be with me.

Let me try to love you, I know I could.
One night to hold you just ain't no good.

(repeat chorus)

All I wonna do, is make sweet love to you.
Now you wanna leave me. What am I supposed to do?
Can't you hang past to? That was 12 o'clock at night.
Why you wanna leave so soon? Girl, you know it ain't right.

I don't wanna leave you, I don't wanna go.
