It's Time For The Original 7ven Video

One of my most favorite groups of all time and the legendary group The Time is back with a new name, The Original 7ven. This band was so big to me. In fact, I was walking around last night singing "If The Kid Can't Make Ya Come". Look it up, look it up. I'm and O.G. with this. My dudes are back and it's like they never left. The Original 7ven as they are now known consists of The Time's original seven members: Morris Day, Jerome Benton, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, Monte Moir, Jesse Johnson and Jelly Bean Johnson. They originally were put together by Prince and Morris Day. They spent many years touring together and creating albums. Prince even served as their producer under one of his many aliases "Jamie Starr". They parted ways when Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis began producing artists like Janet Jackson. When Jam and Lewis flew to a recording session for Janet Jackson's third album "Control" the ran over on time and missed a flight to a show opening for Prince. He fired the group and as a result the band broke up. Meanwhile, none of them have had the success of Jam and Lewis but they all have been successful. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis have produced some amazing records for New Edition, Janet Jackson, Sound of Blackness, Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, George Michael, Boyz II Men, Morris has become the music director for Michael Baisden's "Baisden After Dark" TV show. Everyone else has been doing studio work and playing live shows with other artists. The recently decided to get the band back together but not under the thumb of the old record label. Check out their first joint "Trendin".
