Before the suits, the swagger, and the stage lights, two Minneapolis kids were building a sound that would change funk forever.
Then brotherhood became rivalry.
Behind the showmanship is a story of friendship, ego, addiction, and the fight to become your own man without losing the brother who helped make you.

You Want Morris Day’s Prince Stories; You Like Music-Memoir Drama; You Want Minneapolis Sound Context; You Like Fame, Friendship, And Regret In One Room
Audiobook Universe’s Verdict
Credit-worthy for Prince and The Time fans who want the backstage tension, the jokes, the bruises, and the complicated friendship. Casual listeners should sample first because it is not Morris Day narrating, and the imagined Prince dialogue is part of the whole device.
What it is really about
On Time is Morris Day’s memoir of coming up alongside Prince, becoming the frontman of The Time, riding the Purple Rain explosion, and looking back on fame, addiction, rivalry, brotherhood, regret, and reconciliation. It is part career story, part friendship autopsy, and part conversation with the ghost of a legend.
