The Brief:
“The Bird” is the second of two songs by The Time featured in the 1984 blockbuster movie, ‘Purple Rain’. It is also the third and final single from the ‘Ice Cream Castle’ LP. Chartwise, it didn’t do as well as its predecessor but, it was fairly successful. It debuted on the Billboard Hot Black Singles chart on 1/19/85 where it rose to #33 and dropped off the chart after 11 weeks. Over on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart, it first appeared on 2/23/85 and steadily climbed in to the Top 40, reaching #36 and hanging around on the chart for 13 weeks. The single edit on this 45 comes in at 3:41. The B-Side, “My Drawers” is also edited down to 3:42.
