The Time - Jerk Out

The Time is a funk group formed in 1981. They are close Prince associates and arguably the most successful artists who have worked with him. Consisting of Morris Day, Jerome Benton, Jellybean Johnson ,Monte Moir, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, Jesse Johnson, Ricky "Freeze" Smith and Torrell "Tori" Ruffin.
The band was assembled under a clause in Prince's contract with Warner Bros. that allowed him to recruit and produce other artists for the label. Inspired by the 1980 film The Idolmaker, Prince decided to put together a pop-funk group that would serve as an outlet for material in the vein of his own early albums, while he explored other genres and styles in his own career.




Jerk Out is from the 1990 album Pandmonium.
