  • More about On Time: A Princely Life in Funk


Morris Day and Prince had a lifelong friendship and emotional intimacy, which Day uses to tell Prince's story in his book "On Time". The book covers Day's fight to overcome cocaine addiction, search for meaning in music and romance, and his second-act success by leading The Time. It is a comprehensive, free-wheeling extension of his music, providing a new light on Prince and the culture from which the Minneapolis funk scene was born.

Morris Day and Prince are two iconic musicians who have had a profound impact on the music industry. Their story is intertwined, not because they were inseparable or because their paths never diverged, but because they always intersected again. Each artist lifted the other up, pushing one another to be something bigger and better than they thought themselves capable of. There was plenty of one-upmanship and some (un)healthy competition, but the respect Day and Prince had for one another never wavered, from the time they met in junior high until Prince's untimely death in 2016.

In telling his own story and writing about Prince, Day turns Prince into the narrative's Greek chorus. Prince is there to protect his legacy, argue with Morris's interpretation of events, and continue the dialogue that started when both musicians were in their early teens. Because of their lifelong friendship, emotional intimacy, and the founder and still current leader of The Time, Day is the one man who can pull this off and shed a new light on Prince and the culture from which the Minneapolis funk scene was born.

On Time recounts Day's fight to overcome cocaine addiction, his search for meaning in both music and romance, and his subsequent second-act success by once again leading The Time, whose music is his lifeblood and soul. Day's book is a comprehensive, free-wheeling extension of his music; the ride is wild, and the funk unfiltered.
