Ice Cream Castle is a 1984 album by The Time. Similar to their previous two albums, this album consists of six tracks in the funk-pop or ballad genre and it was produced and arranged by Prince as "The Starr ★ Company".
The album's two biggest hits, "Jungle Love" and "The Bird", were featured in the film Purple Rain and this, along with Day's performance in the movie, catapulted the album up the charts and to a crossover audience. Unfortunately, the band didn't have time to enjoy the success, as they had disbanded by the time the movie was released.
Ice Cream Castle produced three singles: "Ice Cream Castles", "Jungle Love", and "The Bird".
All tracks written by Prince, except where noted.
The album spent 57 weeks on the U.S. Billboard album charts and reached its peak position of #24 in early March 1985.
