Answer 1

The Family was an R&B band formed by Prince and one of the first signed to his record label, Paisley Park Records.

The band's origins started with the disintegration of The Time in 1984. Lead singer Morris Day had left the band to pursue a solo career. At this point, guitarist Jesse Johnson became the de facto band leader. Prince suggested restructuring the band with new member Paul Peterson to head the group, but Johnson bitterly opposed. However, like Day, Johnson soon left the band to persue his own solo career. A few of The Time's newer members followed Johnson to join his backing band (called Jesse Johnson's Revue).
