"Great book! Great storytelling!" -LENNY KRAVITZ
"Lean, slick, cooler than Santa Claus, and surprisingly tender, this book not only traces Day's history in Minneapolis funk, but doubles as an intimate recollection of his time with Prince." -BEN GREENMAN, author of Dig If You Will The Picture
Brilliant composer, smooth soul singer, killer drummer, and charismatic band leader, Morris Day has been a force in American music for the past four decades. In On Time, the renowned funkster looks back on a life of turbulence and triumph, chronicling his creative process with an explosive prose that mirrors his intoxicating music.
A major theme throughout the book is Morris's enduring friendship and musical partnership with Prince, from their early days on the Minneapolis scene to selling out stadiums and duking it out as rivals in Purple Rain. Eventually, Morris went on to release four albums with a new band of his very own, The Time; however, before long, increasing tensions between the two performers set them down separate paths. Through the years, the fierce brotherly love between Morris and Prince kept bringing them back together-until pride, ego, and circumstance interfered. Two months before Prince's untimely death, the two finally started to make amends. But Morris never could have imagined it would be the last time he'd ever see his friend again.

"Great book! Great storytelling!"—Lenny Kravitz
"[An] entertaining memoir... fans of Prince - and The Time - will be thrilled with this insider view."—Publishers Weekly
"An enticing read... [L]argely a memoir but also, in part, an entertaining commentary."—Soul Tracks
"What if Prince came back and he and Morris got down to settling old scores and giving away secrets? Morris makes it happen, and I devoured this great book!"—Paul Shaffer, author of We'll Be Here for the Rest of Our Lives
"What time is it? It's time for everyone to read Morris Day's memoir. Lean, slick, cooler than Santa Claus, and surprisingly tender, the book not only traces Day's history in Minneapolis funk, but doubles as an intimate recollections of his time with Prince."—Ben Greenman, author of Dig If You Will The Picture: Funk, Sex, God and Genius in the Music of Prince
"A breezy, hard-to-put-down book."—Minneapolis Star-Tribune
"[Day]'s quite a vivid storyteller and the Day/Prince interplay not only works, but it keeps things moving forward. At times, it's a challenge to put On Time down."—Twin Cities Pioneer Press
"A vital, illuminating and wildly entertaining autobiography."—Billboard
"Fortunately, Morris Day's memoir arrives in the same month as his old friend's. Day grew up a few blocks from Prince and played drums in his first band. The two remained close for decades...Day's book has him in conversation with Prince's ghost, arguing about how to tell the story, and gives us details about Prince that he never got to tell his memoirist...Day has a front-row seat for the life of one of the greatest musicians of all time and his book is a worshipful telling of what Prince's rise looked like from his vantage."—New York Times Book Review
Morris is by far the most elusive of all prince associates. He has such a strong public persona you never know where the man and the character begin and end. I came in to this knowing his musical material and the sharp dressed quick witted entertainer and I have come out of it with real respect for an honest and actually very humble man. It’s good to know that if the chipper Morris day isn’t always confident, then there is hope for us all! I always imagined him as really very one dimensional with his pimp exterior - but he’s a deep and sensitive and surprisingly self-critical dude. There remains only one word for Morris. C.O.O.L

What is very moving is the fictional discussion he has with prince while trying to to tell his/Thiet story this sheds a personal and emotional light on the time together and princes fictional commentary about things that happened in their relationship. You get the sense the book funny and illuminating for fans for Morris Day I think the process must have been cathartic a way of dealing with the pain of things left unsaid but more importantly it’s a vehicle to help he deal with the loss of his friend.
The narrator is excellent and the story id funny funky and sad but to me Morris is right on time with this book and it really is Morris’s time.
