"You don't wanna miss this!!!" That's what Morris Day wrote on Twitter, announcing that the Original 7ven are playing the Grammys with Bruno Mars — whose hit "Uptown Funk" (with Mark Ronson), it was widely observed, borrowed the feel of the Time's '80s hits.

"The Original 7ven" are a group consisting of the original members of The Time, including Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. The group released an album, Condensate, in 2011, using the new name to avoid a dispute with Prince over the name "the Time." (Guitarist Jesse Johnson left the band the following year.)

Their appearance at the Grammys will likely be part of a planned Prince tribute, which is reported to be coinciding with the widespread release of Prince's music across major streaming services.

Musicians protest refugee ban

Musicians joined a chorus of international protest over the weekend as President Donald Trump signed an executive order barring refugees and immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries.

"Our vision of America is directly antithetical to that of President Trump," said John Legend, speaking at the Producers Guild of America Awards. "I want to specifically tonight reject his vision and affirm that America has to be better than that."

Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong wrote that "These reckless decisions on healthcare, Muslim-Americans, immigration, environmental protection, freedom of speech, freedom of press, women's right to choose what to do with their bodies, suggesting sending in the feds to Chicago...are signs of a man that is trying to redefine what it is that keeps our common union as Americans."

Other musicians speaking out in protest include Chuck D, Billy Bragg, Tegan and Sara, Best Coast, Q-Tip, Lorde, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Win Butler, and Questlove. Grimes and Sia announced that they would match donations to organizations fighting the ban.

Meanwhile, Carole King rerecorded her 1983 song "One Small Voice" as a tribute to the "strength and persistence" of those fighting the Trump Administration's policies.

As for the President, he took to Fox News to criticize Madonna for her remarks at the Women's March on Washington. "She's disgusting," said Trump. "I think she hurt herself very badly. I think she hurt that whole cause. I thought what she said was disgraceful to our country." As Rolling Stone points out, the Trump-Madonna beef isn't new: it goes all the way back to the '80s.
