    Rick James didn’t get enough credit for his musical talents: vocally or for production of many successful musicians. He produced most of Teena Marie’s music. He introduced many stars into the music world he projected the image of a party boy and most didn’t look any deeper. His Song Fire and Desire with Teena Marie is a total contrast to this.

    Awhile back you did the reaction to Eddie Murphy's "Party All the Time." That was Rick with him in the video - he produced Eddie's song. I recommend two duets Rick did. One with Smokey Robinson called "Ebony Eyes," and the other is "Fire" with Teena Marie. You will enjoy both of those slow jams.

    Being young in the 90's, I thought MC Hammer was the one who created that tune/music with the song U Can't Touch This. Never knew it was done before, by this guy. But guess no copyright trial was made, so still cool to hear this beat. ^_^

    He usually did a guitar solo live.
    I was working at a record store when this was popular. Usually, I got tired of the "hits" we played all the time. Not this one. It was always fresh on the ears.
    Rick came to our store for an LP signing event. I brought him a soda, and he told me to stay right there by him, because I smelled too good not to have nearby all the time. So there I stayed until he left. He did ask me to come by the show, told his manager to arrange the backstage pass. I laughed and told him, I'd love to see your show, but I'm the kind of girl you take home to mother. He literally doubled over laughing at that comeback, and said, "Okay, you get two tickets, up front. Enjoy the show!"
    I did. That band was something to behold in 1981.
    When Prince came to the store, he was sort of...shy and aloof, but Rick was all eyes and in the moment, very warm and engaging with all the people who stood in line to see him. Prince may have had more range with his talent, but I can assure everyone that Rick was lots more fun to be around.

    “You and I”, “Give It To Me Baby” are great songs too. I’m not a fan of the slow jams he did for the most part. He did a song with The Temps “ Standing On The Top ” Fun facts : he was in a band “ Mynah Birds” with Neil Young early on. Room 714 alludes to quaaludes, that was the number on the pills. The dancer with the long hair black hair was a dancer on Soul Train..Dave Chapelle does a great Rick James on his show.

    In 1965 Rick James was lead singer in a band in Toronto with Neil Young called the Mynah Birds. The Mynah Birds also had bassist Bruce Palmer. Rick however was secretly a Vietnam War draft dodger from Detroit. Rick finally turned himself in to authorities and the band broke up. Young and Palmer then drove Neil's hearse (Neil named his hearse Clancy) to LA and famously reunited with Stephen Stills and Richie Furay in a traffic jam on Sunset Boulevard, thus forming the Buffalo Springfield. Additionally Neil's hearse can be found in the Springfield's 1966 song Nowaday's Clancy Can't Even Sing, and from The Stills/Young Band in 1976 the song Long May You Run.
    Both of these Young songs are worth a listen with lyrics if possible.

    Rick James, "Dance wit me" is one of my favorite dance/funk songs of all time. "Hard to Get" is another good one and you should check out Eddie Murphy/Rick James, "Party All the Time." He also did a song with the Temptations, "Standing on the Top" that is on 🔥. He was an extremely talented musician and not afraid to make waves. This song was very risque for it's time. Some radio stations wouldn't even play it. He also discovered Teena Marie. Her song "Square Biz" was a huge hit as well as their duo, "Fire and Desire." Hope to see more early 80's funk reaction videos.
