Retro Video of the Week: "The Walk" by The Time

Tomorrow is the 40th anniversary of the release of The Time's second studio album, What Time Is It?  The Time and their charismatic lead singer Morris Day were part of the Minneapolis Sound that Prince spearheaded in the late '70s and early '80s.  They were friends and frequent collaborators with Prince, who wrote or co-wrote all of the songs on What Time Is It?

The album went to #26 on the Billboard album chart and #2 on the Billboard R&B album chart, their highest-charting album on the latter.  Of the three singles released from the album, only "The Walk" has a video, so that was an easy choice.  It's a great example of the Minneapolis Sound -- funky, catchy, and a little synthy.
