Somebody who actually knows about this guy should check this over; I just cleaned up the prose as best I could, and checked the facts with what I could find online. Robth^Talk 04:06, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Morris Day and The Time

Frequently (for instance on the page Minneapolis/St. Paul there are references to "Morris Day and The Time." In the case of that article, I made the link go to the article on The Time (band). I was thinking of creating a redirect page for Morris Day and The Time but maybe it would be better to have it be a disambiguation-type page.--Larrybob 18:22, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Morris is my nephew. Just learned this after talking to his mother who is my sister. Knew him as a child as "morry" but didn't know till yesterday April 22, 2006 that Morry was Morris Day. Pretty sure he was born in Springfield, IL. not Minneapolis. My sister didn't move to MN until 1964. User:Lycurgus.

[edit] Eugene Knight?

The "Unofficial Homepage" of Morris Day and The Time (see link on The Time's infobox) lists Morris's real name as Eugene Knight. Their website seems pretty thurough so I would trust that more than some wiki-user claiming that Morris is their nephew. How would someone "just learn" that Day is a close relative, long after his heyday in the 80s? Thoughts? --MistaTee 20:49, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No It Isn't

As I stated above, Morris is the son of my sister, LaVonn Daugherty and takes his fathers last name which is Day. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lycurgus (talk • contribs) 14:30, 14 January 2007 (UTC).

As it turns out, Morris sometimes does use 'Knight'. Dunno about Eugene, but it was my fathers middle name. Lycurgus 13:04, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Added picture of Morris to online family album [1]. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lycurgus (talk • contribs) 03:32, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] removed "series"

I removed the following as I could find no reference to such a series with Campbell: "He starred as Curtis on the short-lived 1988 series, Heart & Soul, along with Tisha Campbell."--SidP (talk) 19:22, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Morris Day did star in an NBC pilot called "Heart & Soul" in July of 1988, with Tisha Campbell and Clark Johnson. Only one episode aired. The video was recently shown on YouTube, but unfortunately it was removed.

Here's an archived review of the premiere episode from the Atlanta Constitution-Journal: [2]
