Review: C-O-O-L! A GREAT READ!!! - "On Time: A Princely Life in Funk" by Morris Day is an excellent book, an excellent and enjoying read. It is very informative. As a die-hard Prince fan, I make it my business to know everything I can about his life and career, and of all of the important people involved in that. Morris was such an integral part of Prince's life and music. He was there from the very beginning, and was there through most of it. Prince brought Morris Day and The Time to prominence, and turned them into successful superstars in their own right. At times, the memoir is funny as hell. Other times, very poignant. And still, other times, pretty sad. Overall, a great read. I enjoyed reading this book immensely! It was well written. I absolutely recommend this book to anyone who loved Prince as much as I did- and still do; or Morris Day, of course; or to anyone who loves music; or to anyone who had a wonderful friendship/brotherhood/sisterhood with someone special, lost that connection and regained it back. You won't be disappointed in this book, I promise!
Review: The Last Man Standing - I was excited to read this book not for any stories about Prince, but to finally here THEE story about Morris Day. Coming up in the 80s on the east side of Detroit, Morris Day and The Time were like deities. When any of their records came on at a party, the dance floor got ambushed. While Prince was clearly the man, Morris Day had an aura all his own. All of the guys molded our game after him. Everybody wanted to be Morris Day. He had the look, the wit, the charm. He was everything a dude wanted to be, plus Cool. This was all before Purple Rain. Purple Rain brought Morris to the world, but in Detroit, he was already a legend. The book was a swift read and hard to put down. It's well written and chronologically coherent. I really, really appreciate how he did not take any shots at Prince at any time. Anything that can be viewed as a slight is his personal opinion of a given situation with Prince, not of the man overall. He did the dude right. Looking back one would have never guessed that between Rick James, Michael Jackson, Prince and Morris Day, that Morris would be the one shake all of his demons. It's an astounding feat by the one personality big enough to pull it off; Morris Day. YESSS!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chili Sauce!!
*by K***N on January 18, 2020*

What an excellent book!! On Time: A Princely Life in Funk is a fantastic book for fans of Prince and The Time as well as music lovers and historians. The things that really stood out and made this book really exciting to read, was the writing style. There was this easy and casual connection between the authors and fan; music lovers of Prince and Morris Day, which made this book such a joy to read. As I read the book, in one setting, I was taken back to Minneapolis (North Minneapolis as a kid) and the magical 1970s and 1980s when the Prince and Purple Kingdom started to explode with excitement and musical enthusiasm. I still remember the energy that was created by Prince and his band followed by groups or players like Willie Walker and the Valdons, Dave Brady and the Stars, The Family, The Band of Thieves, and of course Flyte Tyme. So, naturally, reading this book brought back great memories for me which made this book an even more enjoyable read. 5 Star Rating for an excellent book by one of the coolest dudes in music.
