Legendary The Time to Release ‘Ice Cream Castle’ Vinyl for Black Music Month
Prince‘s Rivals In “Purple Rain,” His Protégés In Real Life.
One of our favorite bands, Minneapolis own The Time, will release “Ice Cream Castle” on a new vinyl during Black Music Month on June 5th via RRW/Rhino/Warner Records.
Prince‘s rivals “Purple Rain,” his proteges in real life, became one of the 1980s & ’90s funk forces.
In the summer of 1984, The Time‘s third album release “Ice Cream Castle” was released.
Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis nor Monte Moir was apart of that release and were replaced by three other members.
This was their first platinum album reaching #3 on the Billboard R&B charts and #24 on the Hot 200.
Three singles were released, the title-cut reached #11 on the R&B charts. The Time‘s most prolific and visible period came then, when Morris Day played the antagonist to Prince in his feature film “Purple Rain.”
The release of “Jungle Love” from the soundtrack became The Time‘s biggest hit at the time.
The song went #6 on the R&B charts and #20 on the Hot 100. “The Bird,” was the third single, reaching #33 R&B and #36 Pop.
