Born and raised in Minneapolis, Morris was inclined towards music from an early age. While Morris was in high school, he and his friends, Prince and Amdre Cymone, who are now major artists, formed a band which was initially named as “Grand Central”. The band, managed by Morris’s mother, was later called “Champagne”. As the band member Prince went on to find success in his solo career; Morris was enabled by the Warner Bros. label to assemble new bands which resulted in the formation of “The Time”. Morris Day became the lead singer of this band, due to his closeness with Prince, and the band was later known as “The Original 7ven”.
The Time initially did not find success in music until 1990, when their single “Jerk Out” was released and it was listed at #1 in the R&B charts. The bane went on to produce many popular singles such as “The Bird”, “Get It Up”, “Cool”, “The Walk” and many more which are still popular.
