I seriously thought he was the best musician in Purple Rain, but I like Q-Tip's solo work better than his ATCQ stuff, so there's a good chance I'm just an idiot.

The part where they bring the mirror out for him is cool in any case.

If you don't own it, you should look into getting Prince's "Graffitti Bridge". Morris is on 2 or 3 songs on there.  One of the most underrated Prince albums of all time.

Morris Day was an awesome talent. Real showman, but kind of lost inside Prince's shadow (like most of his proteges were). By the time, The Time tried their own thing in the early 90's. Music had sort of moved on .. their music was sort of bland and lacked the funk of the early stuff.

Yep Ive got Graffiti Bridge. I do agree it is some of Prince's best work.
