Born in Minneapolis on December 13, 1957, Morris Daughty had a flair for fashion. Inspired by photographs of his grandpa in zoot suits, a true fashionista was formed. Day went to school with Prince Rogers Nelson and sang in Prince's first band Grand Central, managed by Day's mother. Prince grew as an artist aand so did the opportunity around him. The Time was orignally created as Prince's alter-ego to be seen as the cool, steet-wise funk band contrasting Prince's more soulful R&B sound.
