The Story

OriginUnited StatesGenreMinneapolis soundLabelWarner Bros. RecordsMembersJellybean Johnson

Picture a Minneapolis club pulsing with a blend of funky grooves and synth-laden beats, where the air is thick with energy and excitement. That’s the vibe The Time brought to the music scene, infusing the Minneapolis sound with their unique flair. With Jellybean Johnson on the roster, this dynamic band, later known as Morris Day and the Time, carved out a niche in funk rock that was unmistakably their own. Their catchy hits like "Jungle Love" and "Jerk Out" encapsulate the eclectic spirit of the era, making dance floors come alive. Close ties to Prince only fueled their creative fire, allowing them to craft infectious tracks that still resonate today. The Time didn't just create music; they created a movement, leaving a lasting mark on the fabric of funk and rock.
