Friday Night Videos

The Time's 1982 album "What Time Is It?" was insanely popular at my junior high back in the day, and when Purple Rain hit it big, everyone I knew went simply nuts for the Time. And what wasn't to like? Morris Day, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, Jesse Johnson, Jerome Benton... They were funkified, fun and so far over the top that Day's frontman narcissism became integral to the act. "Jerk Out" became their biggest hit--topping even the ultra-popular "Jungle Love," and the video for the single it the best they've done, pretty much documenting all their trademark outrageous excess.



Previously on Friday Night Videos... Fleetwood Mac.
