Morris Day The Time The Original 7ven

Soul Train Music Awards 2011

The Original 7ven (the band formerly known as The Time) consisting of Morris Day, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, Jesse Johnson, Monte Moir, Jellybean Johnson and Jerome Benton will be opening the show for the 2011 Soul Train Awards with an extended performance, including their classic hits and their newest single, “#Trendin.”
The Original 7ven, the band formerly known as The Time, recently released a new album, Condensate. The first single, “#Trendin,” was the #1 most-added song in the adult urban radio format in its first week out and was called a “…funk-fueled jam that’s right on time…” by USA Today. People magazine called it “funky” and raved that “the players are still cool.” The Huffington Post gave the album five stars, noting “Condensate marks a mighty return to the fore for a beloved ensemble that has rightfully earned its own status as music royalty” and the Philadelphia Daily News awards it an “A,” adding “…the set achieves nirvana…”
A major force in the Minneapolis sound phenomenon, each of the 7 musicians – Morris Day, Jesse Johnson, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, Jellybean Johnson, Monte Moir and Jerome Benton – went on to successful individual careers with each scoring #1 chart toppers before coming back together for the first time in 21 years to record Condensate.
