"Onedayi'mgonnabesomebody" by The Time

The Time were a funky dance pop group from the 80s that most people remember from Prince's hit film, Purple Rain. Led by Morris Day, the group featured a boatload of talent that included Jesse Johnson and Jellybean, as well as Jimmy "Jam" Harris and Terry Lewis (who wrote many hits for others including Janet Jackson).

Despite this unusual concentration of talent, The Time only scored a few chart hits, including "Jungle Love" (#20), "The Bird" (#36), both of which were featured in Purple Rain, and "Jerk-Out" (#9) in 1990.

"Onedayi'mgonnabesomebody" captures that early 80s Minneapolis funk sound and could easily be mistaken for a lost Prince track. It comes from their 1982 album, "What Time Is It?"
