I realize that most of these comments were made 7 years ago, but the sentiment remains the same. They're both legendary. They're no longer with us but their music lives on forever. Well at least in us 60s, 70s and maybe the 80s babies. This was one of the most legendary music duos to bless us with classic music. Rest easy Tina and Rick. You're music still lives on!!!!
I'LL KEEP LISTENING TO THESE GREAT ENTERTAINERS ALL MY LIFE UNTIL I'M GONE,THEY ARE THE GREATEST DUETS OF THEM ALL,NOW AT 77 I REALLY ENJOY LISTENING TO THIS MUSIC IT'S VERY RELAXING AND ROMANTIC,GOD BLESS THEM WHERE EVER THEY ARE,FROM A MEXICAN GUY STILL ALIVE IN ARIZONA .
He slept with a lot of women he wasn't committed to one woman that's why she left. He got Linda Blair from the exorcist pregnant and she had an abortion. He didn't have looks at all but they loved his charisma.
Teena was amazing and most people didn't even know she was white until they saw her - but she was instantly accepted by nearly all of the black community. That says something about how things could be if we all treated each other with a little love and respect. Rick & Teena will live on through their music for ever........
+Segdirb I disagree. Teena sang from her soul and never put on a pretend act like some white female singers out there today. Let me know if you find or hear any female singer black or white that sounds like lady T. I can tell you now. GOOD LUCK!! She is one of a kind and pure What You See Is What You Get!! Didn't act like a whore or slut like Madonna and others. Get real and know the deal. Pure white soul hear with a lot of R&B in her soul. Going on Teena you might not be here but you still have people talking about you baby girl. RIP!!
Yes, that's it. She's my favorite female performer of all time. She was completely into our culture. That's the difference between her and most of the other white folk who have made money off of imitating Black people from Elvis Presley, to the Righteous Brothers, to Eminem, to Justin Timberlake, Sam Smith, Adele, etc. They imitate us but they live white lives. They pimp our culture. Teena was true to our culture, so it was obvious from the beginning she was authentic. And we loved her for that. There have been Black folk who weren't authentic and got called out, too.
Rick James was never underrated. Where did you get that idea from. He was the King of P-Funk. I remember all his stuff, that i used to blow out speakers in my car to. In 1980 his album was the bomb. I wore it out. Every album after went to No.1 immediately. Rick was on top of the world and the charts, all the time. Not to mention all the other groups he produced and wrote for. Underrated my ass. NO he was not underrated. Everywhere ya went during that time people were bumpin some Rick James.
Ignorance is bliss. You guys act as if someone saying Rick James was underrated is equivalent to saying he was not good! What the heck are wrong with you internet trolls?
The love in Ricks eyes for Teena and the love for Rick in hers, beautiful. So sad they are gone, so sad the drugs jacked up Rick, he was an amazing artist. I cried for days when I heard of Teena's death. She's simply amazing, simply awesome, simply beautiful, gifted by God to bless us.
Helen Lundgren Teena was in the drug scene as well. RIP🙏🏾 Birds of a feather flick together, do not exclude Teena out, she died of the same disease sense that Rick James died from...
This so sad to read this about them.both and after ive justwatched this video of theirs for the 1st time here and just listened to this sing of his thru me and for the 1st time even and til she came out on stage and sang with him and til the end of the video even. So glad i found this song of theirs and in this video thru me here even still.
Bixby Noodum Stop hating you know you're blood is full of African blood, so don't be angry over that embrace it! Also, some Indian, some Arabic so much, because first of you're obviously uneducated, if you were you'd know your history, and where the actual White folks; as you call them came from! You're the minority on earth and always have been. When you can trace your bloodline back to Christ then let's talk, oh wait you can't cause' no one can, in reality you're just a Mutt! You love the music and passive aggressively surf every ethnic music video, wishing secretly it was you!
Bixby Noodum News flash. All modern humans are African. You're living in a tragic delusion if you think you are different from any other living human. The DNA doesn't lie.
Bixby Noodum You can call it anything you wish. Just know that you are talking about yourself whenever you talk about African hominids - no matter what your personal views are.
Rick James was a musical genius but when you add both Rick and Teena together, it' was truly amazing. Teena is my favorite female artist, ever. Teena had so much soul. Not for a white artist but her high notes are right there with the best them. RIP both Rick James and Teena Marie. 🙏🏽💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤔🤔🤔♠️🙏🏽❤...L7 4L Cindafella....♦️👌🏼♦️
Teena Marie. She is one of the most celebrated female recording artist of all time ever. R.i.p. you are very well missed. Rick James is so sexy .. Do I need to say any thing further.
She was also a talented pianist. You should check out her singing "Cassanova Brown" on Donny Simpson's show from the 80's. Teena was a bad mama jama! 🌹
Kuddos to Teena Marie for her incredible soulful vocals. Her voice is one of a kind. My late sister, Dawn, loved her music and during her last days, in the hospital, I played her songs to assist her with her transition as she passed away from Aids in 1996.
What folks have to realize this was his protégé and this girl had tremendous talent which Motown could not contain. Lady Tee was never recognized by the WHITE COMMUNITY as she should have been but she knew she had the BLACK COMMUNITY WHO LOVED HER MUSIC. Before you make judgment take a listen and hear this wonderful singer/performer/songwriter take you there. I guarantee she is far better than anything you ever heard from Britney Spears. Britney can't SING but this vocalist(Teena) blows you away.
Manny Owens, come on now...Tina was good, but don’t forget about Aretha, Whitney, Patty Labelle, Tina Turner and many others of whom I’m sure Tina had mad respect for.
It's the white communities lose cuz she was amazing full of love n put her heart n soul into her music n she didnt judge anyone if we could learn anything from Teena its love they neighbor not they color !! I so miss her !!!
Two words. LOVE THEM. My favorite # one song ever. What a voice this woman had. What a beautiful songbird. RIP to the both of them. I will never forget them.
She was a white person trying to sound Black! Real black soul singers, she couldn't come close! She sang like she was going to puke that voice was annoying as hell! You have really poor taste because if an imitater to you is better than the originators something is clearly wrong with you Whitney, Gladys, Chaka, Yolanda, and Christina A sounds better than Teena!
There isn't anyone today who has anything on Teena Marie. She led the way for everyone else that followed. Her voice was incredible. If she only knew how much she was missed. Her and Rick are up there now singing in a grand old show.
The chemistry, the band, the mary jane girls singing background, the effort put into entertaining the crowd Rick james was a smart man and really underrated. He tried his best to make classic music and moments.
I'm not sure why you think Rick James was underrated. He was the King in my time. We'd buy his albums as soon as they hit the stores. We never missed his concerts anywhere within a 800 mile radius. Sooo, again, not sure where your information is sourced.
Teena was white. Her talent was the important thing. Mind you, we listened to Jethro Tull, Steeley Dan, The Eagles, Hall and Oates, etc. We respected talent.
Roz Durham There was an Unsung on Teena. Maybe she was viewed as underrated. I hope they do one on Rick. He was influential, and basically resurrected Motown.
Pure magic. Rick James was a genius in his production and writing, and Teena Marie was the most Soulful Sista on the planet. Nobody has ever done anything like this the way they did. Rest peaceful Slick Rick & Lady T.
I happened to stumble across this live performance yesterday and can not stop watching!! I think this has to be the best duet performance I have ever seen!...I don't know if we will see music like this again!
laurzettm I don't think we will either. I just hit on this yesterday and I can't stop watching either! Rick is amazing and Teena is beyond amazing. So glad to read of so many who appreciate this wonderful music.
This was an era that will be archived in history but that we will never see again. I was blessed to live and experience when music was everything and see performers like Rick and Tina Marie. The talent was out of this world! ❤️❤️❤️
Nah she's extremely talented, but y'all really need a lesson in lifting others up without putting others down. There are SO MANY female artist with just as much fire and passion for their music as Teena was.
It's crazy that u could see the love and respect and fun she was having performing this with rick ! Her eyes said it and how she jumped like a little kid to hug him during this performance had even me smiling 💖!
They got so much more music together and they were together outside of music also , this isn't a one or multiple time performing with him they ( well ) Rick never wanted to tell the world that they were low key involved in a sexual escapade but that's about it cuz Rick was a pretty animal and he loved to have different women so I think that he never allowed his self to try to be a faithful men but it's understood that he cared , had enough respect for her to not even try to be an item cuz he would just end up breaking her heart and shit go sour after that, so he played it smart with tena but I know he loved that lady but bad timing, they still had money to make together touring and contract agreements to fullfil...I do believe she was there if he ever chose to settle down or if they had lived a little more longer it would had eventually happened, cuz everytime he had ended up in the hospital for his partying she was right there and this was after they run together he never stopped partying and it caught up with him then months after his passing she passed away to , can say that isn't dying from a broken heart
B Taylor Can't believe that you got your hands on such an amazing live performance. I added it to my popular Oldies but Goodies playlist which already has the studio version that you posted and I always revisit. Thanks so much for posting!
Yes agreed. I've always saw the fire and desire video where the words didn't match. Than this one i found, my favorites was quickly put into effect! There will NEVER be another duet like this, EVER.
One of my favorite videos. Clearly Rick James and Teena Marie had unmistakeable chemistry together and ironically both are gone not that far from each other.
This song will never play out! This song is Platinum Tina Marie was the shit her and her VOICE.............. WOW Wow Wow Tina had a sexy voice yes she did! R.I.P TINA MARIE AND RICK JAMES THE BEST ICONS
Black people was working their art, creativity, inspirations and dreams, making it real. Them lights was hot they were sweating for us to enjoy and entertained us. Black children in this new generation really have history to be proud of. They can hold their heads high.
TM did not play instruments well. Used as phoney props. Strumming simple chords and banging keys with no independent left hand does not a good musician make.
Alot of kids was created from Fire and Desire ..Summer 1981 NYC..Track Dominated Radio .parks and Beaches...Rick James Wave of a Classic Album power 🎼.. Rest in Peace Continuous Rick and Teena..Thank you for the Musical Gifts...
I LOVE THIS SONG!!! OLDIE BUT GOODIE 💖 FIRE AND DESIRE I use to sing this song with every thing in me came out loud and clear!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥🔥 FIRE AND DESIRE!!! AUGUST 12, 2024
I just adore this video! What chemistry... I miss Teena like crazy! Rick James was a stone cold fool for that story tho! Haha! Great piece of history. Long live Rick and Teena!!
So fucking amazing! This song brings me to tears because you can hear the pain and pleasure in their voices! Lady T and Rick James!! Icons. Legends. No one will compare. Continue resting peacefully.
I no right it keeps making me smile with my smiling smiley wife ☺ all the time we are together now we are so happy nothing matters no more right now just us and are soon to be family members 😁
I cry when I watch this ,I don't like it , I love it. I feel there chemistry and I had a man like this once , we were a team , he died just before this song came out.
7:37 real tears for Teena Marie from Rick James. That is very special. The love they had for each other was mutual. Teena was Rick's one and only true love and Rick was Teena's one and only true love. Both revealed it in interviews and this song fire and desire is the undeniable truth of it that Rick wrote for Teena. When Teena said: Come back to me it was true, honest and heartfelt. She knew in her wisdom that the goodbye to lady Tee was the only possibilty their love has a chance because she knew that he won't overcome his sex addiction over night and she knew that she can't live with that. Because of this song she kept Rick forever in her heart because the song was written for her. Teena loved Rick unconditionally and she remained the one and only true love of Rick. Maybe God did unite them in heaven as in Edith Piaf's song hymn for love where she sings in the original french version: God unites those that belong together so that they won't spend eternity alone.
I remember when the song Fire and Desire hit the airways. I couldn't play this song once. I had to play it over and over and over. They duet blew me away to the trasphere!❤❤
Lady T had an amazing voice! Unbelievable range, effortless. I remember I was in Jr. High. I went to the record store, asked the cashier for it & was surprised to see a white woman! She was a funky soul singer! I had 4 albums. She passed too soon!
This was epic!! Teena could blow!! Another thing I wanna point out is this soul is colorless anybody that got that gift like Teena here just got that God given gift to blow with soul!!so its not a black or white thing...I wish people would get over that stuff already ..
We gravitate to what is real and authentic so Lady T is ours and one of us So yeah it is a black and white thing tell those country music fans to open up their hearts and wallets.
I love the dialogue between Rick and Teena. There chemistry is off the charts. They really compliment each other musically. I love fire and desire still to this day.
I LOVE THIS. This is the Rick James that I met at 10yrs old. Had a crush then. And Dayum Teena!! Little White Woman with That Big Sista Girl Voice. Love this!!
There's so much sdx appeal between these two it just makes u feel good all over.i love this song can't gdt fired of hearing it.teena Marie is bad as hell Rick James is just one of a kind.this song is one of the best ever.teena Marie Rick James are the best duo in music they're really in sync w each other u can tell they like each other so sexy.
Sensational!! Two fabulous, unique and talented people, gone way too soon. They are missed. Love they're music; Absolutely love Teena Marie. I don't think she ever got over Rick's death, and now she's gone. Love is deep.
Teena performed, wrote, produced and arranged all the songs on the album It Must Be Magic, including Square Biz! The entire album is a testament to Teena’s artistry and secures her place as R&B royalty! Square Biz has been sampled by everyone from Missy Elliot to Ciara! Teena will always be a pioneer in the music industry! She also has worked with Snoop Dogg, Kurupt, Faith Evans, Smokey Robinson, Patrice Rushen, Lenny Kravitz, Howard Hewitt Gerald Levert and of course her mentor Rick James! What a stellar, phenomenal talent Teena Marie was and is! No wonder she was called the Ivory Queen of Soul!!!😅
The 106 people who don't like this probably don't like black music and just doing it just because they don't. They may have nothing else better to do but the likes are much much more than the dislike and this is a classic with my Venice homegirl Teena Marie RIP homegirl. RIP Rick
That's the ultimate lovemaking song such beautiful music by two of the greatest icons in music.i just love the instrumental in the background so sexy sultry .
I realize that most of these comments were made 7 years ago, but the sentiment remains the same. They're both legendary. They're no longer with us but their music lives on forever. Well at least in us 60s, 70s and maybe the 80s babies. This was one of the most legendary music duos to bless us with classic music. Rest easy Tina and Rick. You're music still lives on!!!!

I was at this concert. They was in LOVE
He was.. She refused to put up with the other girls. And that's why he never got over her.
He slept with a lot of women he wasn't committed to one woman that's why she left. He got Linda Blair from the exorcist pregnant and she had an abortion. He didn't have looks at all but they loved his charisma.

Tina loved her Rick James and Rick James loved him SOME Tina!! And I love them both!! Misses them dearly 😭🌷🎁🕊️😭🌷🙏🏾🕊️😭🌷🙏🏾🕊️😭
She had more fire on stage than any female artist day. She was and still is....The Emerald of Music.
Love you lady T. ,Rick james I'm Rick
Nah she's extremely talented, but y'all really need a lesson in lifting others up without putting others down. There are SO MANY female artist with just as much fire and passion for their music as Teena was.
Most def the best concert I've ever seen in my entire life!!!! They was the best duo Ever!!!
@@ShadowBannedit Yessssssssssssssssssssss!!!!
The multifaceted quintessential Teena"the voice" Marie!!🎶❤️💔❤️
Hard to accept that they're both gone... but never forgotten...love you both... thank you for your gift of true music
This is ridiculously enjoyable and entertaining... So good.
It's crazy that u could see the love and respect and fun she was having performing this with rick ! Her eyes said it and how she jumped like a little kid to hug him during this performance had even me smiling 💖!
I love how she did that too! 🥰
They got so much more music together and they were together outside of music also , this isn't a one or multiple time performing with him they ( well ) Rick never wanted to tell the world that they were low key involved in a sexual escapade but that's about it cuz Rick was a pretty animal and he loved to have different women so I think that he never allowed his self to try to be a faithful men but it's understood that he cared , had enough respect for her to not even try to be an item cuz he would just end up breaking her heart and shit go sour after that, so he played it smart with tena but I know he loved that lady but bad timing, they still had money to make together touring and contract agreements to fullfil...I do believe she was there if he ever chose to settle down or if they had lived a little more longer it would had eventually happened, cuz everytime he had ended up in the hospital for his partying she was right there and this was after they run together he never stopped partying and it caught up with him then months after his passing she passed away to , can say that isn't dying from a broken heart
@@lilheatemup5700 Lies 🤥 Rick Died 2004 she died 5yrs later.
YEP! Us MELANATED people LOVED AND LOVE OUR TEENA MARIE her color meant (ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!) she was SOULFUL AND RICK was (ALWAYS!) on point too
OMG!!!!!!! THIS IS SUCH AN AWESOME PERFORMANCE I FELT LIKE I WAS THERE!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS UP FOR US!!!!!!!!!!!!
And that's what it's like to be at a Rick James concert back in the day. If you liked that click onto this one -----> Rick James Live
B Taylor Can't believe that you got your hands on such an amazing live performance. I added it to my popular Oldies but Goodies playlist which already has the studio version that you posted and I always revisit. Thanks so much for posting!
luvindiemusic Your more than welcome...
Yes agreed. I've always saw the fire and desire video where the words didn't match. Than this one i found, my favorites was quickly put into effect! There will NEVER be another duet like this, EVER.
Thank you for sharing great performance by 2 GREATS
One of my favorite videos. Clearly Rick James and Teena Marie had unmistakeable chemistry together and ironically both are gone not that far from each other.
This song will never play out! This song is Platinum Tina Marie was the shit her and her VOICE.............. WOW Wow Wow Tina had a sexy voice yes she did! R.I.P TINA MARIE AND RICK JAMES
THE BEST ICONS
Black people was working their art, creativity, inspirations and dreams, making it real. Them lights was hot they were sweating for us to enjoy and entertained us. Black children in this new generation really have history to be proud of. They can hold their heads high.
I truly believe no one can ever sing like Teena Marie she is the one and only I love her with all my heart you are truly missed❤ R.I.P Lady T
Yeeeeessssss. get it MS Teena. That was one bad chick. I love it.
First time seeing this...Girl could sing! RIP LADY T.....White sister with a soul for sure! Multiple talent and could play guitar and piano......WOW!
TM did not play instruments well. Used as phoney props. Strumming simple chords and banging keys with no independent left hand does not a good musician make.
Alot of kids was created from Fire and Desire ..Summer 1981 NYC..Track Dominated Radio .parks and Beaches...Rick James Wave of a Classic Album power 🎼.. Rest in Peace Continuous Rick and Teena..Thank you for the Musical Gifts...
Brings me to tears every time I watch this. You can actually feel the realness in their music.
A LIFE OF MARRIAGE A lifetime ✨of lov 💖thank you My lady My friends ❤Jack, Dee ,Always lord Forever ❤💖🙏Aman. LORD.

Algreen

I just adore this video! What chemistry... I miss Teena like crazy! Rick James was a stone cold fool for that story tho! Haha! Great piece of history. Long live Rick and Teena!!
Yeah !! Agree totally
Miss them both! MAGNIFICENT!
So fucking amazing! This song brings me to tears because you can hear the pain and pleasure in their voices! Lady T and Rick James!! Icons. Legends. No one will compare. Continue resting peacefully.
I no right it keeps making me smile with my smiling smiley wife ☺ all the time we are together now we are so happy nothing matters no more right now just us and are soon to be family members 😁
I cry when I watch this ,I don't like it , I love it. I feel there chemistry and I had a man like this once , we were a team , he died just before this song came out.
Catherine Smith just curious was he African american
Hang in there girl . Time is a HEALING thing. Get close to God. He will help you through.
Get busy music. No click... just pure FEEL. Beautiful.
7:37 real tears for Teena Marie from Rick James. That is very special. The love they had for each other was mutual. Teena was Rick's one and only true love and Rick was Teena's one and only true love. Both revealed it in interviews and this song fire and desire is the undeniable truth of it that Rick wrote for Teena. When Teena said: Come back to me it was true, honest and heartfelt. She knew in her wisdom that the goodbye to lady Tee was the only possibilty their love has a chance because she knew that he won't overcome his sex addiction over night and she knew that she can't live with that. Because of this song she kept Rick forever in her heart because the song was written for her. Teena loved Rick unconditionally and she remained the one and only true love of Rick. Maybe God did unite them in heaven as in Edith Piaf's song hymn for love where she sings in the original french version: God unites those that belong together so that they won't spend eternity alone.
Well put🫡
I remember when the song Fire and Desire hit the airways. I couldn't play this song once. I had to play it over and over and over. They duet blew me away to the trasphere!❤❤
I was at that concert! lol
+Sheila Jefferson wowewwwwww
Beyond jealous Sheila
Sheila J lucky. idk what I was doing but I missed them. thnx for posting
Sheila J ....girl was that real?? All that stuff with him and Tina or was that just the show?
rick and teena were once engaged (for only 2 week though). it was real and i think rick was teena's one great love
Lady T had an amazing voice! Unbelievable range, effortless. I remember I was in Jr. High. I went to the record store, asked the cashier for it & was surprised to see a white woman! She was a funky soul singer! I had 4 albums. She passed too soon!
This was epic!! Teena could blow!! Another thing I wanna point out is this soul is colorless anybody that got that gift like Teena here just got that God given gift to blow with soul!!so its not a black or white thing...I wish people would get over that stuff already ..
It is a black and white thing. This is just an exception
Lmao its a black thing we just let Teena in
We gravitate to what is real and authentic so Lady T is ours and one of us So yeah it is a black and white thing tell those country music fans to open up their hearts and wallets.
Black will ALWAYS be soul
Saved him
Amazing artists Teena and James 🥰🫰🏼💜 May they continue to RIP 🕊🙏
This was a PERFORMANCE!!!These two gave me goosebumps, Teena especially. Her Adlibs were on point.
I love the dialogue between Rick and Teena. There chemistry is off the charts. They really compliment each other musically. I love fire and desire still to this day.
I LOVE THIS. This is the Rick James that I met at 10yrs old. Had a crush then. And Dayum Teena!! Little White Woman with That Big Sista Girl Voice. Love this!!
kirk mitchell because she is white. White is not a dirty word!!!!!!!!
Rick James kicked this. Love the set up story!
isnt that a great setup story.. it wasnt even on the record... it was made for this performance
You think Cardi B and Offset or Beyonce/Jay-Z can take you here🙄🙄🙄🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🎸🎸🎸🎸

Ms Mary. This. Song. Fire. And desire. For. U. Reemember
Lady T absolutely killing it! Wow. Thanks for posting this. I was fortunate to see them back in the day at Municipal Auditorium in Nashville.
I'm jealous! LOL!
Sensational!! Two fabulous, unique and talented people, gone way too soon. They are missed. Love they're music; Absolutely love Teena Marie. I don't think she ever got over Rick's death, and now she's gone. Love is deep.
She started that in a interview so sad real soulmate a love that no one can compare too ‼‼❤
Breathtaking!!! Just A Beautiful duet performance by Rick James and Teena Maria.
Im from the 70 and 80 era during that time it was very good music
Teena performed, wrote, produced and arranged all the songs on the album It Must Be Magic, including Square Biz! The entire album is a testament to Teena’s artistry and secures her place as R&B royalty! Square Biz has been sampled by everyone from Missy Elliot to Ciara! Teena will always be a pioneer in the music industry! She also has worked with Snoop Dogg, Kurupt, Faith Evans, Smokey Robinson, Patrice Rushen, Lenny Kravitz, Howard Hewitt Gerald Levert and of course her mentor Rick James! What a stellar, phenomenal talent Teena Marie was and is! No wonder she was called the Ivory Queen of Soul!!!😅
His monolouge is epic af..love it!
Effortless teena never plays on stage she sangs with so much soul I love her!!! Gggggoooooooodddbbbyyyeeee tell her lady t said goodbye baby
The 106 people who don't like this probably don't like black music and just doing it just because they don't. They may have nothing else better to do but the likes are much much more than the dislike and this is a classic with my Venice homegirl Teena Marie RIP homegirl. RIP Rick
Damn one of the best
Truth👍💯🔥😊✌🌹😍💖
Some will some won't so what right?
That's the ultimate lovemaking song such beautiful music by two of the greatest icons in music.i just love the instrumental in the background so sexy sultry .
