Lady T & Rick both RIP🙏🏿❤
Rick James is so underrated as a vocalist, musician, and producer. He was a multi-faceted individual with a tumultuous life. Tina Marie was a powerhouse vocalist in her own right. They did have a bit of a toxic romantic relationship for a while but always spoke fondly of each others' talent. 💖💖
Teena Marie was actually heavily sick with the flu when she sang this. Rick was going to use a different singer because she was ill, but she came in and sang this in one take before going to the hospital. Teena Marie known as "The Ivory Queen of Soul"...
Use and Abuse them is a reference to taking advantage of them not necessarily putting hands on them. Like take relationships for granted etc.
yeah, that term used to be used quite a lot back then with that meaning.
Thank you for explaining that! This was a different era. Everything was NOT TOXIC like it is Now! That's right I said it. And I can say it too because I was a Grown and married Black woman with 2 children who was about 27 years old when this was released. You see, Women respected their men and vice versa and this song reflected some who may have started from tradition seeking something freakier. Only to realize that "relationships" go Nowhere with that kind of mentality. Kind of like what's happening today with these so called "situationships" that are just excuses to add to these Girl's , not Women's BODY COUNT and ultimately destroys their chances of EVER finding a Man that will accept all of your demands, requirements and your Body Count. We had a word for that back in my day!!!!
Like Kevin Samuels said (RIP Kevin), Buy a Dog and die alone!
This was a MASTERPIECE of its time and should NEVER be measured by this Overly Sensitive Generation that thinks Nothing before Their Time was Relevant!
Read a book. Get a Clue!
One of the greatest slow dance songs ever! along with Earth Wind and Fire‘s Reasons.
Teena Marie was my favorite R&B singer from the 1980's bar none - and that is say alot.
Wish we still had great music like this being made today 😢
Me too
Love Rick and Teena so much !!!!!!
this is a classic; i grew up on this one ...
This is one of the few songs that will stand the test of time. May they both rest in peace.
My sir this song by both the late great Rick James and Teena Marie is definitely one of the greatest duets in music history! Pleeease react to more Teena Marie and Rick James. Teena is a vocal beast I’m sure you’ll see ❤!!
"Happy" by the two of them is equally fantastic.
💯💯💯❤❤❤
This was such a huge hit. A pure Soul Classic!
im glad u loved this song its so amazing! my fav r&b duet of all time and yes they were together at one point.
Great reaction! I saw him perform this live a few times with and without Teena. It was an experience!
one of my favorite songs teena marie is a great artist
Man that bass on You and I still sends me. Rick was an all around musical genius in my book.
Music that made you feel something!!! Absolutely Spectacular!!!
Wow- Loved both of them . Great reaction .
My kind of music! Grew up on this and was 9 years old when this song came out. This is REAL music!!
AMEN!
Out On A Limb still slays me!!
when this song came out, the public did not see Tina until after it blew up on the charts, and many people were shocked, including me, to learn Tina was white ...
Same here I was also shocked where she grew up at
Ebony Eyes ft Smokey Robinson is another Rick James song you should check out
Omg! Yes
This song will leave you shook☺️
The vocals are amazing!!!
Damn...
Had a CD of Rick for decades . . . then sold my car . . . that fabulous tape went with it. Why wouldn't anybody want to listen to this guy for hours!!!!
Where has he been living😂…neve heard this song or TEENA??? This reaction you know what I’m just going to ….🤫but I love when our artists shock the heck out of a person.
Teena Maria is the queen of BLUE EYED soul. She was one of a kind. She wasnt pretending to be a soul singer. She was sincere.
Artist, R&B back then were not necessarily like MCs are today. They didn't sing about their lives. They sang about topics, concepts, and ideas (without necessarily being personal). Rick James wrote this song, and when it was released, Rick was the #1 artist on Motown's label. Teena was relatively new. Rick was her producer and romantic interest for a time. Teena (and the rest of the then known universe) knew Rick was a wild boy and not the settling down type, so their relationship, both business and personal, didn't last.
The term "Use and Abuse" didn't refer to physical violence back in the 80s. It meant to take advantage of another person. In this case, he was expressing that he was a player that didn't appreciate women--- use them and move on (abuse them).
Today they take everything literally. Everything is a crime.
Clever anecdotes and word play were a must in song writing back then. You would have to be familiar with the lingo . Hes not bopping her upside the head. There are many ways to abuse someone. They just mean dogging each other out.
Loved your reaction!
There’s no way you never heard this song playing in black households, brother 🙄🤣
Right especially in the south
Chile , Tinas part is going to blow your wig back!!!!
☮️💙💙🔥🔥🔥😍
Rick was unfukwitable PERIOD!!
Right! Literally the mf man!
I can honestly think of no better way to be introduced to these two as artists. Have to agree about it being one of the if not the greatest duet ever. Too many slept on Rick the artist due to the skits and his behavior.
Tina and Rick were an item ...
Ebony eyes by rick james and smokey robinson
It's called "Fire and DESIRE".
I'm glad you liked it, but I didn't appreciate the narrative that you think he did "bad things" in the relationship. The word "abuse", let's face it, that's the word you're talking about, is referring to abusing the relationship itself. Use and abuse is a common saying when someone is manipulating the other person in the relationship. Never in the years and decades I have listened to this song that I even thought to go that route. This is a love song. R&B music. We don't talk about stuff like that.

I'm shocked that you don't know Teena Marie 😱🤯🤣 good video though.
I find it hard to believe that you have never heard of Rick James and Tina Marie. Your parents failed you by not putting you up on game! You've never been to a Bar B Que or cookout where Rick James was being places??
He looks old enough to know them.
Never hearing this is just as absurd as not listening to Tupac sir 😂
