The Time - Chocolate (Live On The Arsenio Hall Show) 

I remember this one-especially Morris having to be bleeped out at the end.

Jesse Johnson Can Play! a multi talented group.

The Time was one tight band!

damn a muthafucka starve to death waiting for y'all to stop playing..hit me!!

Jerome Benton is a star!

I was telling people who were getting down to Bruno Mars' "Uptown funk" that they had to check out the true masters of "Cee-oh-oh-elll" and send them this clip.

The breakdown at 1:45 is my favourite part. It’s too good.

Have any of you heard the original version of this song? This was one of Prince's many unreleased songs that he gave the Time to re-record...

Kanye, JZ, etc ...now THIS is music!!! Don't get no better than this! Well...Prince does.

One of the Coldest ever that middle breakdown cold saw them in 2002 in Philly at the Dell cold killed it

This is awesome.

YOU FOUND A WINNER WITH THIS ONE GORDON.

That guitar riffs at 2:47🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Terry Lewis is killing that bass.

18 Jumbo Shrimp. Damn!

Damn The Time stay jammin

Love the time 💖💖💖💖💖

Morris Day was amazing, no wonder Prince stole his act.

No joke

No wonder Prince didn’t want them opening up for him back in the day. They would tear Prince’s band up!! And Prince’s band was funky AF!!!

Put it to HD quality and you have a winner!!!

This IS THE SHIT

Sweet 🥰 💜🤘🏿💜 🤘🏿🇺🇦🤘🏿💜🇺🇦💜

This is why he was afraid of them!

Leimert Park After Dark 2016 (Farewell Benvenito)

Prince was scared to death of this band he created.. just like Frankenstein monster.

タイムは1音でハｰトを捕らえる。

Michael Jackson's funk stuff came from prince.

Y

I cannot say enough about Jesse Johnson!! He solidified the Times Funk!

The Time in their prime...the world’s greatest show band.

The epitome of COOL!!!! Hands down!

Morris look like he bout 19 yrs old.

Love it, written by Prince and given to the Time. 💜

PRINCE'S GREATEST CREATION

The baddest band ever

Morris Day aka Pimp Daddy!!!!!

Keyboards as Horns!!! Typical Minneapolis sound.

The Arsenio Hall Show was unique in so many ways.

0:38 Then you told me . . . I look like a pimp But honey I noticed that you waited till after dinner 18 jumbo shrimp . . . . . *Damn* !

Morris Day is the coolest. And Jerome and rest of the band are as good as it gets!

Jerome was Morris Day's sidekick, just like Lone Ranger and Tonto

Bruno can't do funk like The Time. However, Bruno and his band are bad ass when it comes to vocal performance. But I would go for The Bird anytime of the day instead of Uptown Funk.

In One Word................ BlackMusicExcellence

The time tore it up the og version,arsenio hall was the only place for African American artists to not only be seen.however also heard,arsenio hall was the mini soul train of late 80's and early 90"s

thank you Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis 4 bringing us music all the way from Minneapolis! Thank you for groups like the SOS band Human League Janet Jackson and and so many more diverse groups very popular that no one knows that you guys produced. You guys brought music to Los Angeles and gave us our sound! cuz before you guys came in our lives we were jamming off of George Clinton Lakeside Funkadelic Parliament stuff like that but we didn't have any seasoning to our funk! You guys put the pepper and salt and everything that we needed in our music thank you men!Thank u mr. Morris Day You were a Savage back then no one could touch you!

Was there in audience. Also, my mom was audience with me visiting from Gary, IN

an all-star band.

What a great comeback album Pandemonium is. The Time is truly one of the all time great live bands.

I Remember this!! Now that's Entertainment🎤😄

greatest band on the planet.

Morris Day ihas a Son that looks just like him. Love me some Morris Day.

I saw them open for Prince back in 1982 in Philadelphia they tore it down they were better than Prince that night

No he did not start eating dinner on the stage!😂😂😂😂👅

Jesse!!!!!

The Time & Morris energy !!!!! 4 ever

One of my favorite bands ! I love @1:33 when Jerome gives Jimmy Jam a high five ! And when they breakdown the tempo @1:44 sounding almost like James Brown “ The Big Payback “ ! 👍🏾🔥💜

The Time dammit show respect! These cats came around at a time in the early 1980s when R and B bands were fading away. PFunk had run its course for the most part, Cameo hung on for a bit but bands like the Ohio Players, Earth Wind and Fire etc had all but seen their glory days well behind them so The Time was a breath of fresh air.

jerome is the GOAT hype man

The best 💜💜💜

1:33 high five for Jimmy Jam

These my boys! I really wish they would tour after the pandemic. I would be first in line for tickets. Of course the original guys. I’ve seen Morris and his new band and they’re good but no Jesse, Jimmy, Terry , etc.

Lovely performance as always! I wish I had known this band much earlier.

Rome in all his full carnation glory.

It's the funk right here, yeah we need some clarification here, we definetly need the quality enhanced, u got to do something about the definition, but I have no qualms with this jam, just turn it turn it out

Minnesota is in the house🎶

Wow, they brought it with that!

Have to say Morris does a great job of living a personality that is not his own. The "Morris" persona is basically how Prince used to imitate his father John Nelson and how he talked and acted. He built that into the all the music he made for the Time, and Morris perfected it. Prince's biggest mistake was not letting Morris, Jessie and of course Terry and Jimmy just take over the production work on The Time records after "What Time Is It?", imagine how huge that band would have been.

This is the WORLD'S GREATEST SHOW BAND

Nasty funk like ole Grand Dad

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Love it. So much fun!

just think if.....alexander o'neal.....would of stayed.....but jealous prince.....wanted 2 run....everything.....S/O....2 the...TIME.....and the MINNEAPOLIS SOUND....1♡

Fantastic Time !😎

One of the coolest endings to a funky performance. Love it!

How is this possible! Damn!

Music cannot sound better

Chemistry, Class and Coooool..!

Untouchable

How many bands, play, sing & DANCE?!? Take ya time...think it over...take ya time! Time!

How funky can shit get ...... I used to do this gig as a tech ....this album did not get the credit it deserved because ya boy "P"was not as involved as I so recall.

Methinks BAD! GO MO GO!

This was great for its time! Get it? Ha hahahaha

OK I'm awake now.

Any other guitarists here kinda weirded-out by that upside down Strat?

In the realm of choreography that backwards strut in unison is a big nothing, but is sure is cool when they do it. AAHH! AAAAH! 😂 Jesse’s guitar is the answer.

Ouh! Du lourd!!

The Time was Prime's biggest threat to him & he knew it.

Prince was Dr.Frankenstein and The Time was the monster that he couldn't keep on a leash. A damned shame that he was such a control freak. He could have brought a Motown version to Minnesota.

Let's Work !

Prince mold these guys so well.

Kickin!

such a good performance and song

Love him he so fun

Who is posting shit in 240p?

love these guys

James Brown.

Classic classic

tht was baddass... r u kiddin' me!?

Despite wanting to be a drummer, Morris had a great voice.
