Today Marks The 43rd Anniversary of The Time’s Sophomore Studio Album “What Time Is It?” Originally Released on August 25, 1982.

“What Time Is It?” Is the second studio album by Minneapolis funk rock band The Time released in 1982 on Warner Bros. Records.

The album peaked at #2 on the U.S. Billboard Black LPs chart and at #26 on the U.S. Billboard Top 200 Albums chart.

Three songs were released as singles from the album "777-9311", "The Walk" and "Gigolos Get Lonely Too".

“777-9311” peaked at #2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Black Singles chart, #42 on the U.S. Billboard US Dance Club Songs chart and at #88 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

"The Walk" reached #24 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Black Singles chart and at #42 on the U.S. Billboard Disco Top 80 chart.

"Gigolos Get Lonely Too" reached #77 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Black Singles chart

The title of the album comes from an exclamation by Morris Day that became associated with the band's on-stage theatrics, appearing frequently on the band's debut album as well.

The song's title, "777-9311", was Prince guitarist Dez Dickerson's actual telephone number at the time the song was written. Once the song became a hit, the phone calls started coming in, and Dickerson ended up having to change his phone number.

"The Walk" was mentioned on the Ice Cream Castle track, "Chili Sauce", and was sampled on the Corporate World track "Murph Drag" and the Pandemonium track "The Latest Fashion". Prince himself mentions “The Walk” in the song “Play In The Sunshine”, a track from his “Sign O’ The Times” album.

A different mix of the song "Gigolos Get Lonely Too" can be heard on the posthumous Prince album Originals, released in 2019. This version has Prince on lead vocals and most instruments, Johnson on guitar and backing vocals, and Day on drums and backing vocals.
