Album Description
Available in: Country Icon
"Time Waits For No One" ist das siebte Studioalbum der amerikanischen R&B- und Gospelsängerin Mavis Staples. Das von Prince mitkomponierte, mitarrangierte, miteingespielte und mitproduzierte Album erschien am 24. Mai 1989 bei seinem eigenen Label Paisley Park Records und enthält acht Songs, darunter die Singles "Jaguar" und "Time Waits For No One". Die Laufzeit des Albums beträgt 39 Minuten und 11 Sekunden. Prince war für sechs der acht Songs auf dem Album musikalisch verantwortlich.
Die Albumaufnahmen fanden zwischen Februar und Juni 1988 in den Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen statt. Prince und Mavis Staples arbeiteten dabei nicht zusammen im Studio an dem Album. Im Juli 1988 arbeiteten sie jedoch zusammen in einem Londoner Tonstudio an dem Song "God Is Alive", der allerdings nicht für dieses Album vorgesehen war. "Time Waits For No One" konnte sich nicht in den internationalen Musikcharts platzieren.

User Album Review
Prince took a great interest in Mavis Staples after she provided him rousing background vocals and appeared in the 1990 film Graffiti Bridge. He signed her to his label and wrote and produced some of the tracks on this disc. Unfortunately, it enjoyed little impact sales-wise, although Staples soared, shouted and roared with splendor. But her sound and approach were so soulful that it seemed out of place in the detached setting of urban radio. There were both fiery message tracks and blistering love songs, with Staples' assertive, tender and intense vocals. However, not even Prince's name could break the embargo on acts considered too old-school for modern audiences.
