    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.

    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!!!!!!!!
