Although [[Morris Day]] calls various bandmembers' names before solos, the recording features only [[Prince]] and [[Morris Day]]. While reflecting on the track’s history on Facebook in 2014, [[Jesse Johnson]] wrote "<i>'''777-9311''' Was A Stock Drum Beat In [[Prince]]’s [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linn_LM-1 Linn LM-1] ($5,500 drum machine you know it wasn’t [[The Time]]’s) ... The beat was programed into the Linn LM1 by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Power Tower of Power] drummer [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Garibaldi_(musician) David Garibaldi]<sup>1</sup> ... for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Linn Roger Linn].</i>" (David Garibaldi’s drumming would also be sampled, uncredited, years later on [[The Time]]’s [[Release It]].) He also added "<i>[[Prince]] used my $179.00 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hondo_(guitar_company) Hondo] Strat to play the chords on '''777''' (that’s why the guitar sounds so nice and dull...cause it was cheap!)</i>" |
