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. He chronicles his creative process with an explosive prose that mirrors his intoxicating music. Morris' story is a fast-paced page-turner replete with unexpected twists and shocking surprises. A major and fascinating theme is his lifelong friendship and years of 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 legendary Time. He battled his addictions and came out victorious. But not before increasing tensions and embittered rivalry between Prince and the Revolution and Morris Day and the Time led the two performers towards separate paths. Through the years, the fierce brotherly love between Morris and Prince kept bringing them back together, over and over again -- until pride, ego, and circumstance interfered. Two months before Prince's untimely death, the two finally reconnected and started to make amends. But Morris could've never imagined it would be the last time he'd ever see his friend again. This is Morris Day's singular story in which the magic of music is the ultimate healer. On Time is also a deep meditation on friendship, Morris' poetic method of reconciling the loss of his close friend and longtime collaborator, and a way to commemorate an incendiary life cut short. But this book is more than just a walk down memory lane -- it's a metaphorical means to bring Prince back to life. Throughout the narrative, Morris allows Prince's "voice" to protect his own legacy, to counter Morris's interpretations of events, and to essentially breathe new life into a tale as old as time -- of two brothers, two bands, and a musical culture that even today pulsates with fresh energy. Review: Really fast read - Great book Review: C-O-O-L! A GREAT READ!!! - "On Time: A Princely Life in Funk" by Morris Day is an excellent book, an excellent and enjoying read. It is very informative. As a die-hard Prince fan, I make it my business to know everything I can about his life and career, and of all of the important people involved in that. Morris was such an integral part of Prince's life and music. He was there from the very beginning, and was there through most of it. Prince brought Morris Day and The Time to prominence, and turned them into successful superstars in their own right. At times, the memoir is funny as hell. Other times, very poignant. And still, other times, pretty sad. Overall, a great read. I enjoyed reading this book immensely! It was well written. I absolutely recommend this book to anyone who loved Prince as much as I did- and still do; or Morris Day, of course; or to anyone who loves music; or to anyone who had a wonderful friendship/brotherhood/sisterhood with someone special, lost that connection and regained it back. You won't be disappointed in this book, I promise! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,229,289 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #89 in R&B & Soul #221 in R&B & Soul Artist Biographies #1,842 in Rock Band Biographies | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,671 Reviews | ## Images ![On Time: A Princely Life in Funk - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81QUYT5K5nL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really fast read *by F***A on April 12, 2026* Great book ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ C-O-O-L!

On Time: A Princely Life in Funk is a fantastic book for fans of Prince and The Time as well as music lovers and historians. The things that really stood out and made this book really exciting to read, was the writing style. There was this easy and casual connection between the authors and fan; music lovers of Prince and Morris Day, which made this book such a joy to read. As I read the book, in one setting, I was taken back to Minneapolis (North Minneapolis as a kid) and the magical 1970s and 1980s when the Prince and Purple Kingdom started to explode with excitement and musical enthusiasm. I still remember the energy that was created by Prince and his band followed by groups or players like Willie Walker and the Valdons, Dave Brady and the Stars, The Family, The Band of Thieves, and of course Flyte Tyme. So, naturally, reading this book brought back great memories for me which made this book an even more enjoyable read. 5 Star Rating for an excellent book by one of the coolest dudes in music. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/130631925-on-time-a-princely-life-in-funk](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/130631925-on-time-a-princely-life-in-funk) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-06-18*
