    Great video, but what I found interesting is that Prince didn't keep Morris as a drummer. Never really knew why Prince hired Bobby Z. According to Morris his dream was to be a drummer not a singer. It was Prince that talked him into fronting The Time and singing...

    • @rinse-esnir4010
      @rinse-esnir4010 Před rokem +2

      What I understood from Morris his story is that Morris his mother moved away to Detroit, and Morris went with her. And so they lost contact. And when the first album of Prince came out, Morris decided to hook up with Prince again.

'My brothers guitar ' player TAKES OVER and rips the guitar solo !! And really knocks it out-of the park!! Prince comes back up...gets in his face..and demeaning says.. THAT WONT happen AGAIN.

    Not the best interviewer....When the engineer was getting going talking about the first "session" in LA with all of Warner Bros. producers, he was about to go somewhere interesting and the cat asked him an innocuous question that made the engineer lose the thread...he never regained the thread of the story, "You were there too?!", and that's all she wrote...Too bad. As an interviewer one has to know when to keep one's mouth shut and let the subject feel free to speak. Let the people speak!!
