Morris Day Cant Perform As Morris Day & The Time
R&B legend Morris Day claims Prince’s estate has forbidden him from performing under the name Morris Day & the Time. In a statement on Facebook Morris said, “I’ve given 40 years of my life to building a name and legacy that Prince and I came up with. A name that while he was alive, he had no problem with me using. I literally put my blood, sweat and tears into bringing value to that name. In fact, he booked me on several tours, and many jam packed nights at Paisley Park, under the name Morris Day & The Time. Not once ever saying to me that I couldn’t use that nome configuration.” Morris and Prince became friends as teenagers and formed The Time together in 1980 as part of Prince’s record deal with Warner Bros.
