Morris Day (1985) Color Of Success (Deluxe Edition 2026)

 Color of Success is the debut studio album by the funk/R&B singer, Morris Day released in 1985 on Warner Bros. Records.^[1] This album has been certified Gold in the US by the RIAA.

 Released a year after departing previous band The Time, the album is similar in style to The Time's material, even going so far as to copy The Time's formula of six songs per album. The album's highlight is "The Oak Tree", a funky-pop number about a dance, akin to "The Bird" by The Time. The album was produced, arranged and composed by Day, who also played drums and keyboards throughout the album. Also on keyboards was Rickey "Freeze" Smith, who would later join Day in the revamped version of The Time in the mid-1990s.
