This album NEEDS to be available on digital. This way fans can enjoy this album. This was a great comeback. He sounded like the old days. It needed much more publicity. This should’ve been on a major label. It probably would’ve gotten the attention it deserved.
This was supposed to be with Teena Marie but Rick got into an argument with his sister Teena got mad at Rick as well and didn't show so he had Jo Jo from the Mary Jane girls sing instead .
Rick had so much more to give... even prison couldn't blunt his creativity. He never did get to outrun his demons, but needs just to be remembered for his Art. A stunning musical savant missed dearly by cats in the know! R.I.P. King... you kept it real right to the end...
I always tell people , the media gave the wrong impression of Rick James, I have never heard one song , that he called any woman a bitch. Rick always sang about his love for women. This song is another perfect example.
This is the first time hearing this beautiful song. Rick James’ masterful vocals was a special gift. We all have demons. Rick had a painful journey. Rick James was a master of his craft. RIP
This "Man" is greatly missed, not to mention all the music he would have made for us to hear! This "true singer" had class no "volgur" words in his songs!
Same here. I don't understand why people play with your feelings and emotions, is a terrible thing to do, also very dangerous. hang in there it will pass it takes time.
rick shined especially on his love songs listen to his vocals they're just coming through!!! rest in peace rick and thanks for the music you left behind a fan always
This man was a musical genius. I discovered that when I listened to the words of the song he wrote for my favorite singer of all times Teena Marie called Deja Vu. Such a powerful message. Take time if you haven't already and listen to this song. Two of the most amazing vocalists gone too soon 😢 💔
One of my favs from the "Urban Rapsody album. Thankful he featured "Jo Jo" (formerly the Mary Jane Girls) on it. The album had decent enough promotion to make a buzz. But for sure the true fans of Rick James couldn't wait to get their hands on it. Also, this track has similar melody to "Tell Me What You Want" from his 1983' album Cold Blooded. Billy Dee Williams makes a powerful cameo contribution to the song. Rick James was quite a songwriter, musician and being. I constantly look pass his bad days, just to appreciate his kinder and more organic worthier generous side. The late Jimi Hendrix was the same. Beautiful spirits caught up in the world filled with obstacles. Both gave just due acknowledgements to their band members. That's what made Rick James a beautiful soul. He thought of others just equal if not also before himself. Rest in peace brother Rick!!!!!!!!
I was Blessed to see him perform this entire album in Chicago. If you closed your eyes you would think it was the Recording...... When he sangede "Mama's Eyes the tears fell from his eyes.. I sat that close. I witnessed this LEGEND before he made that transfer. We love him. "Deeper Still"❤
Rick & Jo Jo!! Buffalo's finest...RIP Rick! We will continue to do our every best to represent and celebrate your musical genius every August in Buffalo #BuffaloFunkFest
I’ve been looking for this song for literally 20-25 years. I 1st heard it as a child. Could NEVER find it until today. Album needs to be on Apple Music ASAP
So I just heard from a guy in the studio when this was recorded that this Record was all about his relationship with Tina Marie. So I came on UA-cam to listen to it. Wait is a great songwriter and underrated as a singer.
+Joyce Hicks Someone should bring back a remake of Rick....and a whole lot of others and I bet some of that ole skool music would change a lot in this world today. I'm workin on it.
I be never heard this song it's beautiful. Rj was so soulful. The words to this song are so real he truly was amazing in his own way. Love u Rick James there will never be another like him. This song reminds me of my ex maybe he should listen to this. Rick James is deep.
Haven't heard THIS in years for the true fans that appreciate RJ and his BEAUTIFUL MUSIC, THANK YOU RICK FOR GETTING ME THROUGH SOME ROUGH TIMES IN MY LIFE, A FAN FOREVER RIP YOU BEAUTIFUL MAN😰✌🌺💖😎
Happy, Tell Me What You Want, Ebony Eyes, this man could craft great love songs. We know of his upbeat style mostly. For a while, during his Motown days, he and Richie was the money in the bank that kept it afloat.
with JoJo an "A"...with Teena it would've been an"A+". Too bad they were scrappin (he n Teena) when this one went into the studios...this will go down as one of Ricks BEST ballads that went under the radar. Thx Bedford for keepin it goin' :-)
THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN GOING THROUGH MOST OF MY LIFE MADE ME FEEL LIKE THERE WERE NO MORE GOOD WOMEN LEFT IN THE WORLD BUT THERE IS.......AND SHELL FIND ME ONE DAY...
Hi edagdwg thanks for sharing never heard this song before I like it man have hearts to and hurt this is what makes it real never be afraid of loving someone for real Linda j. Peace joy a love bug ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯🌈🌈🌈🌈🌹🌹🌹🌹

Soul Sista was my Favorite !

This was supposed to be with Teena Marie but Rick got into an argument with his sister Teena got mad at Rick as well and didn't show so he had Jo Jo from the Mary Jane girls sing instead .
All the good artists die. Rick James forever, dude!
RJ &Prince were my favorites] then u had Mj]

Legends both from the same camp.
Jojo mcduffie deserves a lot of credit for always coming through for Rick James! She is an amazing artist!
Rick James was and is the king of Funk and the most beautiful love songs!! His music will live forever!!! RIP Rick🙏💪🏼
Rick had so much more to give... even prison couldn't blunt his creativity. He never did get to outrun his demons, but needs just to be remembered for his Art. A stunning musical savant missed dearly by cats in the know! R.I.P. King... you kept it real right to the end...
Yeah.. Ur right
People don't understand how gr8 of a songwriter he was
Words can’t explain how much I miss this man right here!!!
Love.. The real king James slow jams ..only two mature people can enjoy this gem
I always tell people , the media gave the wrong impression of Rick James, I have never heard one song , that he called any woman a bitch. Rick always sang about his love for women. This song is another perfect example.
Catherine Smith
Catherine Smith and miss him so.
Yes, that was his personification.
Just heard the song tonight for the first time I love Rick James. There will never be another Rick James. He was amazing the bomb
The media personality undercut Rick brilliance
Best feeling is coming across a song you've never heard and instantly you love it
Amen brother
So true…..
This is the first time hearing this beautiful song. Rick James’ masterful vocals was a special gift. We all have demons. Rick had a painful journey. Rick James was a master of his craft. RIP
Rick James was the man of music then, and his music still jams right today. I love this song
Lovely Jo Jo blended well with James like Tenna.
They relationship was something special . Rip Tierra Marie & Rick James two one of a kinds

Rick James was truly extraordinary. The best voice ever!
This "Man" is greatly missed, not to mention all the music he would have made for us to hear! This "true singer" had class no "volgur" words in his songs!

There will never be real music like this again Rick James was the 👑 of melodies
Listening to this while I'm getting over some shit. It's just such a beautiful song that I feel so much.
Lou I think I hope you come out strong!! 😊
I remember being so hurt over someone that had no reason to hurt me the past dam
Lou * artist of this caliber made that of music that helped heal the heart.
Same here. I don't understand why people play with your feelings and emotions, is a terrible thing to do, also very dangerous. hang in there it will pass it takes time.

Surprised not one artist has used the chorus in this song. This album was so underrated. Rip Rick, talent is eternal
I adore Rick Jame, his voice, beautiful, musically masterful, just love him. There will never be another Rick.
I could listen to RICK 24 7 and NEVER GET TIRED OF IT 😥✌👍🎶🎵🎼💜❣
This man was a musical genius. I discovered that when I listened to the words of the song he wrote for my favorite singer of all times Teena Marie called Deja Vu. Such a powerful message. Take time if you haven't already and listen to this song. Two of the most amazing vocalists gone too soon 😢 💔
Love this song so very heartfelt
Morrisman nice to see you here. Hopefully i brought you back
the king of funk we miss you
this is talent
One of my favs from the "Urban Rapsody album. Thankful he featured "Jo Jo" (formerly the Mary Jane Girls) on it. The album had decent enough promotion to make a buzz. But for sure the true fans of Rick James couldn't wait to get their hands on it. Also, this track has similar melody to "Tell Me What You Want" from his 1983' album Cold Blooded. Billy Dee Williams makes a powerful cameo contribution to the song. Rick James was quite a songwriter, musician and being.

He thought of others just equal if not also before himself. Rest in peace brother Rick!!!!!!!!
+Owen Rich Beautifully said, Owen, just beautiful.
Helen Lundgren Thanks. Let's give appreciation flowers to those we love, before they pass on to the next.
Amen to that, Owen!
Have to wholeheartedly agree. He's at rest now and remembered by all touched by his Art!
I can't stop playing this song!!!!!
This was a underrated album,Rick James came back with a strong album,dug this cut,he truly left a lasting mark
I was Blessed to see him perform this entire album in Chicago.
If you closed your eyes you would think it was the Recording......
When he sangede "Mama's Eyes the tears fell from his eyes.. I sat that close.
I witnessed this LEGEND before he made that transfer.
We love him. "Deeper Still"❤
Ricks Voice is pure magic!
People sleep on Rick James music. Gr8 songwriter & producer.

Rick's music is a definite 'go to' to get you in the right mood. His voice, his lyrics, the musical arrangement were all just right on point.
I’ve been looking for this song for literally 20-25 years. I 1st heard it as a child. Could NEVER find it until today. Album needs to be on Apple Music ASAP
So I just heard from a guy in the studio when this was recorded that this Record was all about his relationship with Tina Marie. So I came on UA-cam to listen to it. Wait is a great songwriter and underrated as a singer.
Wow.....blown away by.....I've just been catapulted to the past on this one. 💚
