Musical Career
Days musical career began in high school when himself and Prince started a band called Grand Central. He eventually became part of the band Time, which is what he is most known for. The Time became most famous in the 1980s when Prince and Day started making films which in turn helped there musical career flourish. These mostly occurred in Prince’s movies Purple Rain and Graffiti Bridge. They exemplified this attitude in many of their songs which helped their relationship fans.
Their most famous album was Ice Cream Castle, with songs such as Jungle Love and The Bird. The next two albums he had, Daydreaming and Guaranteed were both commercial failures and hurt his career a bit.
However in the 1990s The Time hit #1 on the R&B top hits with Jerk Out, a part of their Pandemonium album, but the bands career slowly declined slowly after that.
Throughout recent times, Day has stayed involved in music from time to time and is part of a new band called The Original Seven, releasing an album called Condensate. In 2017, Daly relseased a single called Over that Rainbow.
