Rickie Lee Jones is one of my all time favourite woman singer/ song writers. She’s one of the greatest singer/ song writers of all time. She’s an inspirational woman who’s inspired so many women to evolve and become better versions of themselves..She’s soooo cool, motivational and insightful.. I love listening to her music when I’m feeling sad and lonely.. She’s my own personal pick up 🆙 gal.. Rickie Lee Jones makes this world a better place, God bless her always..
She sang that lyric in Horses as well, and based on interviews she’s given and her book, she ain’t lying! Her lyrics are touching and insightful. A genius imo.
RLJ broke big in my senior year in high school, I liked Chuck E but did not pick up on her as someone I wanted to listen too much. Then two years later in 1981 I went to see a movie in a nearly empty theatre and got there really early and the theatre had the Pirates LP playing. I fell in love with that album and I was hooked, it is such a relaxing LP. After the movie I went to the record store next to the theatre and got Pirates and her debut LP and have been loyal ever since. Thanks RLJ.
I know Pirates was your shooting star, Rickie, but Flying Cowboys, to me, will always be your glorious nebula! And Magazine is the space it resides in. Gorgeous music, thank you!
I am a fan since the beginning. There is no one like her. I am enchanted by such personal creativity in the same way by Joni Mitchell, and Joan Armatrading. However Rickie's whole life is like performance art.
My bf played this song one night and we danced to it. I started to cry at that beautiful song and I will hold that moment with me forever. He brings me so much happiness. Great song.
I love your story. My boyfriend in 1979 played RLJ for me the first time, her first record. It will always be magic. Here I am at 59 years old. He's my friend still, and Rickie is still our favorite artist of all time. ❤❤❤ She brings love and life to everyone.
LOVE , LOVE , LOVE RICKIE LEE JONES - One of my favorite shows was at the Wiltern Theater in the 90s. I screamed out I Love you Rickie when she was getting ready to perform We belong together . I was probably her youngest fan that evening and I sang every song and That was a birthday gift to me from a best buddy who surprised me with the tickets
I wasn't much of a fan of hers, but many years ago found this song and knew it was something special. Somehow found it tonight on TH-cam. If it moves you like it moves me, then you are lucky.
I love her voice, I could listen to it all day. I love the gentleness of it. I used to listen to the beginning of Little Fluffy Clouds over and over just for her voice at the beginning, and of course, on TH-cam there is now the recording of the full interview. But how "in her face" he gets. Why can't he sit back a little?
Saw Rickie on tour in support of "Flying Cowboys" about this time. Lyle Lovett was on the bill, too. Talk about a one-two-punch-best-bang-for-your-buck concert! Great night.
I saw this tour. I had brought my girlfriend, a fan Lyle's to see him at the Greek Theater in Berkeley. We hadn't planned to stay for the second act. You'd think as a performer I should have known. Not familiar with many of her songs, by the third song, people were weeping and I was hooked. It was the best live music performance I have ever seen. I have never been so blown away.
Fell in love with a woman I was dating while playing the album Pirates at her house a bunch of times in 1999-2000. Every time I hear it, it totally represents all the feelings, hopes, yearning, and pleasure of that long encounter with "J", who ended up marrying someone else long ago. Thank you, Rickie, for all the incredibly original, heartfelt music!
This is a song of absolute concentrated JOY and she is completely bursting with it so much she cannot contain it. WHAT. A. GODDESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ll never forget that New York club where a dwarf named Christian, a college friend of my boyfriend at the time, sang “we belong together” and I realized there was so much to RLJ aside from Chuck E... obsessed with her ever since
This song resonates so well for our modern times as well. My wife and I did share one special if fleeting and seemingly inconsequential connection with her at a show in Albany NY a few years ago given her great sense of humanity. I will not repeat it here it already being elsewhere. In the totality of things I see this song slightly differently given the ups and downs in our individual lives. None of us are a fixed point in space but moving targets. No one is Polaris, the same as they were 20 years ago or even last month. Also, the further we project out we become more erroneous making the past the only constant in our inconsistent memories. That is what makes Rickie Lee Jones not only our very own Grande Dame of Poetry but our Living Riddle of the Sphinx. One great lady.
On Aug. 12, 1979 my wife and I took our 8 year-old daughter to her first big-time concert -- Rickie Lee Jones at Portland's Civic Auditorium. One of the best concerts of our lifetime.
I remember seeing Rickie Lee in NYC sometime around 1990. She was amazed how much love was coming her way. She actually blushed, and said "You really LIKE me??" 😢 Beautiful memory
God, I love her. I never miss her live. This album was as good as the first 2 !!!! If you haven't head the Other Side of Desire....it's right up there!!!!
Fascinating how she got Arsenio Hall to retreat from a line of inquiry without being aggressive, and then kept the heat on him throughout the interview without apparently doing so. This is a serious woman.
I remember her performance of Check E's in Love from SNL and went out the next day and purchased the album at Sam Goody's on Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. Smitten ever since.
Wow, it was 5 years since the last album? Wow, she really pumped them out during that first 5 years. I missed Flying Cowboys, but know the first 3 very well.
I have loved her since she 1st started. An amazingly talented singer-songwriter, & human being. I understand how many don't get it-- it's a very nuanced stance, aka, Steely Dan. Almost a performance artist. Ala Kate Bush (in a way).
This song is so epic, long coats on the prairie, who can I turn to, who can I trust...I have covered this tune a couple times. The pinnacle of Rickie's artistry IMHO, like Tom Petty Don't Come Around Here No More, stands out above the rest.
Fell in love with her the moment I saw her wearing that beret and smoking that cigarette on her debut album cover. That album was fabulous. Great sessions musicians and her voice was hypnotic.
Rediscovering her again..one of my fave artists...debut album. Pirates..magazine.. flying cowboys..pop pop..naked songs... evening of my best day..sermon on expo blvd... other side of desire..
Only to you.. Most people who listen to the ORB , aren't even going to know who is being quoted at the beginning of that song. Unlike you. I loved Rickie in 79 and the ORB in 90.. Get some knowledge, cause this is a stupid comment
Uwielbiam Rickie Lee ..... I love Rickie Lee ......... szczególnie gdy jest w spódnicy i rajstopach ...... especially when she is in skirt in pantyhose
There was a cool documentary that came out on the making of Flying Cowboys, with Walter Becker, etc. Gave a lot of cool insight. Too bad I can't find it on youtube or elsewhere.
@@terrybartholomew7311 Maybe. If it is, your eyes are better than mine. ) And, if so, the camera man didn't know his significance. What a great album though.

"When I was young, I was a wild, wild, one." Who can't relate, especially when it comes with Ms Jones singing?
She sang that lyric in Horses as well, and based on interviews she’s given and her book, she ain’t lying! Her lyrics are touching and insightful. A genius imo.
So you where a dish
It still always makes me tear up a little.
❤
Always original, she never got homogenized into the music "industry!"
Bravo

❤❤❤
you are mostly right but in my opinion that first self titled album is a masterpiece and it’s easily the best thing that she ever recorded 💿
I am a fan since the beginning. There is no one like her. I am enchanted by such personal creativity in the same way by Joni Mitchell, and Joan Armatrading. However Rickie's whole life is like performance art.
You’ve got great taste. Don’t forget Bonnie Raitt.
I’m loving her book plus just saw she’s been posting all year on her TH-cam channel!

Rickie IS TENDERNESS.
Also sharp, wise, brave and funny. I love how fast she reacts, taking his seat 🏴☠️ 😊

...this whole album is BEYOND AMAZING!!...
"The Horses" and "Satellites" and the whole shebang..... good lawd.
There is no talent like hers--such a gifted musician, songwriter, singer!
man, she just gets a chokehold on your identity and wrings it right out of you! Breathtaking stuff.
Always loved to hear this woman sing. But, even more, love to watch and listen to her speak.
Amazing soul
You should check out her autobiography, last chance Texaco - which she narrates : ) 😊
i adore her so much 🥹 she’s an absolutely precious person, so soft spoken but so wise and soulful and quietly confident. i love you so much rickie!!
Wonderful poem. I've always loved this song, since I first heard it. I get the shivers when she sings "Long coats on the prairie".

Rickie Lee was guest vocalist on Lovett's beautiful North Dakota song. Check it out.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND reading her well written biography, 'Last Chance Texaco'.
This is a song of absolute concentrated JOY and she is completely bursting with it so much she cannot contain it.
WHAT. A. GODDESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am a fan! I was a fan at the beginning! Reading her book, "Last Chance Texaco." I would love to see her in concert again.
Incredible Gallup and spacing. God Bless Walter Becker and RLJ
She is a fascinating person
She is my favorite singer of all time

On Aug. 12, 1979 my wife and I took our 8 year-old daughter to her first big-time concert -- Rickie Lee Jones at Portland's Civic Auditorium. One of the best concerts of our lifetime.
I'm SOOOOO glad I have her LPs, because the quality of the videos from SNL, Arsenio, etc, do her no justice. I adore her and her music.
I bought this album Flying Cowboys and omg i fell in love. She is drop dead gorgeous and has voice of angelic love.
My reason to sing, drum and love! I hope she ' good in New Orleans!
Wow. She is so great!
What magic between these 2 .
And Rickie is so candid and yet so shy 🥀🥀🥀
This is brilliant ! - the fluffy clouds gal- is awesome !
When I was young.....I was a wild, wild one....
I saw her twice live on stage in Hamburg (Germany) great concerts. Rickie and Mitchell are what i like
I remember seeing Rickie Lee in NYC sometime around 1990. She was amazed how much love was coming her way. She actually blushed, and said "You really LIKE me??" 😢 Beautiful memory
One of my all-time favorite albums...
Her voice, such an amazing talent.
Musical genius
She has always been so bad ass.
I love this song so much...
God, I love her. I never miss her live. This album was as good as the first 2 !!!! If you haven't head the Other Side of Desire....it's right up there!!!!
FLYING COWBOYS is 2nd best due to production by Walter Becker but equally inconsistent...
This was actually her 4th album. Magazine was her third and it was wonderful too.
I was in junior high when "Chuckie's In Love" came out, and I bought the 45.
Just a great talent.
Wonderful conversation with Arsenio...you are an inspiration for one who has been lost inside themselves.
Fascinating how she got Arsenio Hall to retreat from a line of inquiry without being aggressive, and then kept the heat on him throughout the interview without apparently doing so. This is a serious woman.
I love her!
I remember her performance of Check E's in Love from SNL and went out the next day and purchased the album at Sam Goody's on Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. Smitten ever since.
Such a great album! Lyrics, music, and overall feeling of the album is innovative and thought provoking.
Wow, it was 5 years since the last album? Wow, she really pumped them out during that first 5 years. I missed Flying Cowboys, but know the first 3 very well.
I love your voice! x

love this song
Simply amazing!
Fell in love with her the moment I saw her wearing that beret and smoking that cigarette on her debut album cover.
That album was fabulous. Great sessions musicians and her voice was hypnotic.
What a wonderfully intimate and unusual interview. Bravo to them both.

I agree totally! So sultry, smooth, smokey.
That is so beautiful.
What a beutiful woman.
RLJ is sublime.
she's so fascinating
Perfect conversation at the end, men are tender.
Honest & Open
Amazing
Rikki!!!. Good interview. 2018
I ' m goin to order your Book! You are my mususical love!!
What were the skies like when you were young?
Little Gabriel Iglesias clouds.
They ran on forever...
Sooo cute!
Why oh why did she never get the recognition she deserved? Girl much lol
Brilliant stuff from.the sexy need
Seems like a talented lady with charm
“When I was 14 I was afraid of my voice.”
Rickie Lee Jones
Is that a lyric in her song? (I'm reading her book now and am thinking "Did she say that in the book...?")
@@JayKauffman I read it somewhere
Don’t think it’s a lyric
how beautiful she was here
I think she's far more well known for "Little Fluffy Clouds" than anything else.
Only to you..
Most people who listen to the ORB , aren't even going to know who is being quoted at the beginning of that song.
Unlike you. I loved Rickie in 79 and the ORB in 90..
Get some knowledge, cause this is a stupid comment
Chuckees in love and Danny's all star joint I think. She won a Grammy for making whopee.
Arsenio is the best always was.
She grew up in my homesweethome Phoenix..where wayy too many are moving to..noo!!
She’s got a beautiful voice.
Never liked the scat style but she’s definitely talented
👏👏👏👏❤️🙌🤗
Does anybody realize that's Walter Becker on the bass in the back by the drums?!!
Walter Becker who produced this album is supposedly on bass here. low quality video. It's hard to see
Walter Becker wrote this and produced the album .is he here?
The great Peter Erskine on drums - as on the recording
Reminds me of Laurie Anderson love em both
stone beauty...digging deep an leading,...
"I think men are more tender than women, they just wear a harder mask."
100%
Truth
Half J Mitchell half LAnderson the very cool RLJ.....
How adorable was Rickie lee here?
Uwielbiam Rickie Lee ..... I love Rickie Lee ......... szczególnie gdy jest w spódnicy i rajstopach ...... especially when she is in skirt in pantyhose
Is this her band? I never watched Arsenio.
She’s so cute
There was a cool documentary that came out on the making of Flying Cowboys, with Walter Becker, etc. Gave a lot of cool insight. Too bad I can't find it on youtube or elsewhere.
You’re right it’s a great documentary and it’s there on TH-cam if you seek it out. Rest in Peace Walter Becker.
@@stephengriffin9992 Thanks. I'll look for it again. I'm glad to hear that it's still available.
And isn't that Becker stage left of the drummer in the backline?
@@terrybartholomew7311 Maybe. If it is, your eyes are better than mine. ) And, if so, the camera man didn't know his significance. What a great album though.
@@TheJollycoppers Oh he probably didn't want to get seen I'd say.
Ricky Lee should do at least one cover from Joni Mitchell! Almost every female vocalist in Rock owes a lot that Joni Mitchell!
The loud elephant synth noise is funny for about one second!
It was a little much.
@@goobytron2888 Album version is exquisite though! 🐘✌️
