The interesting thing about this is at the time Rick James was known for “You & I” and “Mary Jane” type funk. With this he went back to his Buffalo NY soul music days. He and Teena lit up the airwaves with this slow jam classic🎼🔥
Rick James was singing as a man who played the field, a player, a stud if you will. He left many hearts broken by love 'em and leave, use 'em and abuse 'em.
My mom LOVED this song. She had this on cassette when my sister and I were kids, along with "Feel the Fire" with Stephanie Mills and Teddy Pendergrass, and two Atlantic Starr songs "Secret Lovers" and "If You're Heart Isn't in It." This song was my introduction to both Rick James and Teena Marie. I never heard "Super Freak" until the late '90s.
Probably the #1 slow dancing song at the club and at parties in the 80’s, one slow song that had the dance floor packed, on a slow jam! Oh, Angela, I’m sorry, do you know about slow dancing ? Most young folks these days don’t, sadly ….. 😢
I think you have the right sense of the song. Both of them playing with others hearts and manipulating them for there own pleasure.After linking up to a love affair on equal ground they matured to a higher level of caring and sharing
"WOWW!"..My First Time Watching Your Channel And Your Voice Sounds Amazing...You Must Have A Good Sound System As Well. But You Are Vert Well Spoken With The Radio Voice. Niceeee😁👍🏾..Oh And This Was A Great🔥Song As Well As A Great Reaction👍🏾💯👍🏾
Cool, this was the slow jam!!!! Remember seeing them live singing this on stage in Washington DC and they brought the house down. Rick James the king of Punk Funk slowing it down and blowing it with soul and compassion. Along with a young lady that he wrote for and helped bring out as an artist named Teena Marie who had an old school soul voice! Her vocals and his vocals showed how much they really liked and loved each other. Without a doubt in the slow jam top five You have to be old school to understand this classic. 🎤🎶🎼🎵❤️
Remember that Teena❤was sick before she recorded this. She went to the ER after this with like a 104 degree temperature. She was on fire and so is this song. 🔥
This is a major classic! If you want an awesome duet from the 80's react to the live version of LAKESIDE killer duet "I Need You" This is one of the most underrated duets with the two lead singers (2 guys) of this group putting it down.
Pretty cool song! Too bad they're both gone! Rick has a few hits that I like, such as You & I, Mary Jane, and others! Teena has fire 🔥🚒 songs as well! Lover Girl, Out On A Limb, among others! I was never that crazy about this one you're featuring, but it's ok! Until next time!
If you want to continue with the theme of "Duets of The 80s", you really should check out their other song together., "Happy" I actually like that one better than this. Rick James also did a GREAT song with Smokey Robinson. "Ebony Eyes." Which was a serenade to Black women.
This duet is fire! Classic R&B!!

Great vocals on this duet, a very cool and laid back song-Colin Ward
You would love "Happy".
They have another good song together "Happy"
Wow, you're good! Sometimes you hit 🎯 the 🐂 bulls eye and it's pretty impressive! See ya!
Nice one Angela, it’s a classic ❤ You should try Glenn Jones - Show Me, it’s another classic 80s smoocher
I've said it before but how do you get your hair so dark and shiny? Always looks so healthy. It's gorgeous. Just asking. lol classy lady always.
Since you already heard fire and desire by them you should have listened to happy or I'm just a sucker for your love
