Morris Day
Morris Day and his quirky accompanists have carved out a sizable cult following over the past two decades as purveyors of catchy, contagious, multilayered funk. Under Morris’ whimsical creative license the bunch quickly landed a recording contract with Warner Brothers Records, and cut their smash debut-album, The Time- where jovial Morris showcased his worth as more than just an animated musician, also directing the album’s production and performance output. A marketer’s dream – Morris has demonstrated a longevity that wasn’t necessarily intentional. Morris Day’s rarefied musical style marked the 80’s with trademark comical skits, trendsetting stage-gadgetry, and dance and R&B chart-bursters like The Walk, 777-9311, Oaktree, and Fishnet. A scene-stealing supporting role in lifelong pal Prince’s Oscar-winning flick Purple Rain, further exhibited Morris’ natural born inclination to act – be it on stage or the big screen. The 1991 reunion of Morris Day and The Time yielded Pandemonium – further symbolizing the group’s enduring lure – and so marked the next millenium’s diagnosed supersized case of Morris-mania.

Morris Day & After 7 Live in Las Vegas
One of the most refined contemporary R&B vocal groups, After 7 arrived near the end of the 1980s and hit the Top Ten of Billboard's R&B/hip-hop chart with their first four albums, led by the platinum After 7 (1989) and gold follow-up Takin' My Time (1992). While After 7's hot start occurred during the new jack swing era, the singers' easy harmonies and continued songwriting and production assistance from Babyface and L.A. Reid -- the duo behind "Ready or Not" and the Grammy-nominated "Can't Stop," both Top Ten pop hits -- enabled them to make a smooth transition with Reflections (1995). After a subsequent split, the group reconvened in the mid-2000s to perform, and added to their discography the next decade with Timeless (2016). Originally consisting of Melvin Edmonds, Kevon Edmonds, and Keith Mitchell -- the Edmondses are Babyface's brothers -- After 7 has changed lineups over the decades. Since the death of Melvin Edmonds, the lineup features Kevon Edmonds and Keith Mitchell with Danny McClain. Their new chapter has started with Unfinished Business (2021).
