@Arosh Cannon In 40 years no one will remember her, and people will still be playing Rick at costume parties. So shove that in your cooch and smoke it.
What a mix, just incredible production. Listen again to the synth lines, the harpsichord sections, the tinkering tubular bells, the brass section, guitar slides etc etc and the way nothing interferes with anything else. So much is happening in this track, but every instrument has sonic space. Left, right, foreground, background, high and low frequencies, everything’s covered and working! What a talent, incredible.
This is extremely well crafted.. With Rick James visuals, and his antics, his musical brilliance sometimes got overlooked. Yes i have to go back and listen closely to some of his work.. Well I knew he was brilliant, when he did 'Superfreak'
This song was everything !! I was 15 when my older brother took me to PARADE Disco in Houston Tx. I heard Rick James for the first time. This was powerful and his music moved your soul. This song was so hypnotic that we ended up on the rafters and speakers dancing!!! I miss those times, when MUSIC was apart of our soul!!!!
when you listen to this notice how busy of a song it is, Rick was a genius as he wrote for around 11 musician, not a mere drums, bass and 2 guitars. Just pay attention and hear the horns with the keyboards and synthesizers and guitar and bass,; drums and congos its not an easy task to layer all those instruments and have it not sound like there is too much happening... not many can do this but rick was the exception ... it seriously gets no better than this !
kitrik23 you truely are pretty smart yourself to have an understanding of that. Do you ever listen Kappa? Different styles of music but that same modern day composer like yesterday's Mozarts and Beethovens.

Oh snap the first time I heard this jam I was in boot camp standing in the mess hall at parade rest. Couldn't wait to get home and groove to this album.#1981 Army Ft.Dix New Jersey
This was a bad ass hit, Rick and Teena one more time!! They were Multi Talented, and no one came close to them they were the best in the industry. RIP Rick and Teena💝....ALDRIC
I bought this album the day it came out, no idea what was on it, just that it was Rick James and that was good enough for me. As soon as this track started I knew we had ourselves here: a REAL master jam party time I'll NEVER tire of it - and it only got better with age. The party that night had about 60 people at it - they TOOK the album from me, TOOK my turntable from me and played this over and over non-stop - and nobody got tired of it. Some ...uh. Really good bud I remember. I think. Yeah. The kind that leaves that goofy ass smile stuck on your face..."how long has this person been talking to me?" Sense of time and awareness gone. Fade in and out...Jack Daniels on ice. This tune. Maybe that's why it didn't get old? For all I know, there was probably no music playing for hours. but that's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
Cynthia Brown Thank You For Da REMINDS. Ms. Brown Thank You Rick James for Your contribution to Music & The World R.I.P Mr, RICK JAMES. Happy Birthday ???
Today is the 7th anniversary of the day Rick James passed. Rick James was the GREATEST musician of all time. He was a true musical genius. I always felt he was underrated and equally ahead of his time. From 1979-83 nobody made more hits or sold more records then Rick. His FUNK made you dance and his ballads brought you to tears. For all of ya'll that know what I'm talkin' about, throw it up! R.I.P The "KING of FUNK", I am forever grateful for the time I spent celebrating/parting with you.
I used 2 go 2 house party's,and i would always take this Rick James cassette tape when the party got boring i would put it in.....never failed it always got people grooving❗and of course i became the life of the party❗i never got 2 tell u this but .....Thanx Rick❗💯 #mary jane.

Other than Bob Marley with his dreds, Slick Rick introduced braids to America. The boy was a true icon, I only wish he woulda hand someone around him to bring him back down to reality, so he could still be here today. Morale of the story: have someone in your life to keep it real!
I cut my musical teeth on heavy metal, and wish I would have know this existed back then. Pretty much play this song daily and LOVE every single second of it, punk funk is the shit!
I am 51 and I did not 'get' this at the time it came out. I was all rock and roll. But a few years later in the later 1980s I got super into this man's work.
These songs truly make me miss my momma & my aunts nem R. I. P #BigTearz I TRULY MISS MY MOMMA SO MUCH AND MY AUNTS LISTENING TO THIS SO BITTER SWEET ! THIS REALLY SOLIDIFYZ THAT MY PPL IZ TRULY NOT HERE ANYMORE ! LORD I MISS THEM SO MUCH 🤦🏽♀️😭😭😭
My dad taught me right, I'm 23 years old and still jamming this at a red light, while my friends look at me like "WTF" I simply look in the back seat and say "It's real music"

Saelaird 3 years ago and kitrik23 6 years ago expressed the genius of Rick James. A gifted multi-talented maestro. He was an Orchestra leader. A jamming king, a craftsman, and rare bird, and may he RIP. ...Patrick in Lagos, 2021
Sometimes I get depressed that living in Buffalo my sports teams are frequently big let downs. Then I remember we had Rick James, so i cling to the hope something else this great can come from our city.

you are so correct, RICK was very talented!
kitrik23 ..especially when he stole most of this sound and arranging from Prince

You ain"t lying.

This guy had a serious case of da funk.
Ryan Castle Yep really got sick. Lol.
Ryan Castle a disease for which there is no cure!!!

I enjoy having da funk. It's a wonderful disease that doesn't deserve any type of cure
a true pioneer and one of the greatest talents to ever walk the planet! I had every album he ever made!

I had the privilege of meeting him in 1980. He was so nice and a perfect gentleman.
This is TIMELESS music! In 50 years it'll sound just as great if not better.

2019 and this still my jam baby 💖💖🎸🥁🥁💜🎹
In retrospect, a totally under-rated musical tour de force, despite its intended tongue-in-cheek lyrics.
Rick's song were delicious to the ears and made the feet want to dance. He was that a writer, producer, musician.
I had to sneak and listen to him as a teen... im free now!❤
I first heard this when I got out in '85&thought,"oh,shit,now that's what I'm talkin about"!!!lol!!!
