 Morris Day : Daydreaming - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
The Time went down in history as one of the most exciting and influential funk bands of the 1980s, although the Minneapolis outfit was only around for about half the decade.
In 1984, the Time broke up, and by 1985 Morris Day and Jesse Johnson were officially full-time solo artists.
Released in late 1987, Day's second solo album, Daydreaming, generally falls short of the excellence of his work with the Time -- and, for that matter, it isn't as consistent as his first solo effort, The Color of Success.

 Ink 19 :: Morris Day
Now, it wasn't an eternity of driving with Morris Day that was horrifying, this particular release would've forced me back to the auto dealer very quickly, if i hadn't miraculously managed to extract it.
Day and his backing band -- which contains integral members of his original band The Time -- ease through Day's classic back catalogue of '80s funk: "The Bird," "Jungle Love," "Gigolos Get Lonely Too," "Cool," etc. Day's voice still captures the impossibly suave, Minnesota-sized ego and self-aggrandizement inherent in his lyrics and superstar persona.
I'm hoping these slim pickings are just a teaser and that his better material's waiting in his limo, with his women and his bottles of Cristal.
