Jimmy & Terry was moonlighting - writing for Cherrelle and their flight got cancelled due to snow. They were supposed to open for Prince, so they had Prince's keyboardist fill in for Jimmy, while Prince sat behind a curtain and played Terry's lines.

Easy to do, because the Time's 1st Album...believe it or not was ALMOST all recorded by one dude. WTF? Who could that be?
Prince.


From Get it Up.
The Stick
Their hit I'm Cool.
If you listen you will hear Prince singing background. How bad is that? A dude plays all the instruments...then finds the talent to fill in?!

Well, when Jimmy & Terry finally arrived that fateful night, Prince fired them.
They went on to write hit, after hit after hit!!! When Alexander got drugged out-- they took Cherrelle solo and wrote her biggest hit


Again!! No Prince? No Time. No Time, No Jimmy or Terry and if they aren't around....no Cherrelle.


In this song, you can hear their sound...associate it with a certain era, it was their sound....until HipHop took R&B over that is.....
