(October 11, 2022) He’s a living legend who was the front man for one of the great bands of the 80s. Morris Day has continued to do his thing, both solo and with the Time for four decades, and as he readies his upcoming album, Last Call (November 11) and the associated tour, he is ready to prove he is not quite done yet.
Day recently told Billboard Magazine that Last Call will, indeed, be his last call on record. The disc includes a slew of collaborators, including Big Daddy Kane, FloRida, and ZZ Top member Billy Gibbons.
For more than a half decade Day was the flamboyant lead singer for the classic version of The Time, where he strutted his stuff on stage as well as in the Prince movie, Purple Rain. Day left as the group was falling apart in the mid 80s to pursue a solo career. He released four solo albums of varying levels of success, and had a big hit with the sexy, fun single, “Fishnet.” He has also toured with his own version of The Time for several years, sometimes despite disputes over the name of the band.
As we anxiously wait for the release of the anticipated new album, check out the advance single that Day released with Big Daddy Kane.
