Rick had them pipes!
Brilliant collaboration, still a classic in 2024🎉
Always will be…classic
Facts!
These vocals, beat and the background singers are amazing...a classic
💯
My favorite song, Smoke and Ricky James did that.
It amazes me how Rick James and Smokie Robinson collaborated to make such a beautiful song, there styles were so different
Yea you're right, it was amazing how they were able to make it work but then again it is Rick James and Smokey Robinson, 2 geniuses and extremely talented writers as well as artists.
Rick was gonna do it with Clarence Carter; but he wanted to fly the plane and Rick said next time when the weather is better.....

@@Richard-wp4qm? where did you hear that at??
@@Richard-wp4qm😂😅
Rick James was a bad ass. Plain and simple
Yes the hell he was
Smokey too
Smokey too
Hell Yeah
Rick SANG the hell out of this song!!
Stupid video 😂
Sang his soul out!!!!!
🎯
100%
Did!
They sang the hell outta this song, it's still jamming in 2024
Yesss !! I really Love this song ❤. It seems like I just heard it for the first time. This is a Classic!!
Smokey. Still today the greatest falsetto singer of all time. Genius.
Smokey & Rick on a classic? Who would have thought.
Rick James voice was incredible. They don’t make music like this anymore
INCREDIBLE! The don't make voices that powerful anymore.
He sings like an Opera singer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No!!!! They Don't
That's because people are afraid to fall in love.
Michael Turman people are Afraid to master their Craft and love themselves who cares if you sound ugly , you’re more than likely Trying to sing like someone else when you’re singing , try actually listening to how your voice work and see how dope you are at it 😎 but sadly as the years go on our Youth are becoming Drained , that’s why it’s so different because our music aren’t receiving vibes like this or ENERGY like this , so that’s why you just gotta keep coming back to Classics , I swear it charges up yo Spirit
Yes 2024 Timeless classics music still going strong…
There have been many great duets recorded throughout history. This is one of the very greatest. These two are legends.
Yall know damn well these two should've done a whole album together!! Period!!

Shit gave me chills
They put it in on that song, GREAT
It don't get no more classic than this str8t up 2 dam legends on 1 dam track 2gether🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ebony eyes what a title of a song with great vocalists.Amazing!!!!!!
Rick James is remembered for several notorious things I wish he was remembered for his voice on this song.
This joint has to be top 10 all time ballads..
He killed this!!
Laid it out !!
His voice does get lost in all the things he's done. What I didn't know is he had a acting role in the movie Life with Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence. I've seen that movie several times and didn't even recognize him. Just type Rick James in Life to check it out for yourself.
He's known for that also. He was a super Producer for Motown.

smokey was so calm and beautiful sounding as always then rick brings that classic build up
Rick James was an outstanding musician and music producer but don't forget that this man could really SING as well!! Great vocals here along with the LEGEND Smokey Robinson!!
Good post!🙂 Well said.
Smokey Robinson is my secret husband
I love him always and forever
Even stranded on an island for a hot minute, Rick's curls stayed juicy!!!
🤣🤣🤣

Rick & Smokey sung the hell out of that . I love this song EBONY EYES.
Beautiful song
The.. play... Son.
Actually, "Ebony Eyes" is from 1983, the "Cold Blooded" album.
Today's music will never top this Golden Era
@Xavier Gonzalez Amen to that
agreed.
🎯💯🙌🏾💜🙌🏾
This music cannot be matched all u can do is sample the greatness. And give accolades.

Ebony eyes, such a beautiful song...Rick James..rip
Honestly Rick James was a musical genius and to deny him of that title is a crime. God that man was talented💖
Yes he was
Rick James was very talented wrote produce arrange compose all his music
@@thepromiseman7745 yes was great. too bad he was a low life in reality
His voice is great! He sounds like him Opera singer!
Yeah rick was the man and he was making alot of noise in the music business with his funk even before prince but prince became that man afterwards
This song never gets old, NEVER.
So glad I grew up with this type of music being played all the time at the house. Forever grateful
This song makes me so emotional - I simply adored it then & adore it now..... 2023 still listening ❤❤❤❤❤
Still listening in 2023❤
Yeah this song brings good emotional tears thinking about how much I love my girl
Emotional is a true understatement!!
I’m a Guy and this Diamond Cut “ ALWAYS BREAKS ME UP AND BUILDS ME UP AGAIN”!!
No capppp
Just discovered it today, and I’m hooked
One of my favorite Rick James songs. Him and Smokey's voice blends so smooth.
Rickjack
I remember when this song came out in the fall of 1983! I was a freshman in high school! That song was in heavy rotation all over urban radio stations!!
Then the video came out! Rick James and Smokey Robinson were so Cool!!
A very talented Musician, Composer, Arranger, and Producer!!
Motown was still pushing out Rick James projects!! Unfortunately after an argument in 1982 according to his former manager Kerry Gordy, with then Motown President Jay Lasker, Motown stopped promoting Rick James's music less and less!! His last successful project was this album "Cold Blooded." "Ebony Eyes" was on that album.
Back then Rick James was clean and clear! If he was dabbling in drugs, it surely didn't show in the quality of the music, he was making! Smokey Robinson's melodic tenor voice was smooth as silk!! A perfect combination!!
No matter what he did when he was alive...Rick James went down as a musical genius and innovator!! Rest In Peace, James Ambrose Johnson Jr. (February 1, 1948 - August 6, 2004)
Amo essa música 😍😍
Fui muito feliz ao som dessa música
It really is a shame Rick's wonderful singing isn't better known. 💖
Who didn't know that Rick James's voice was fire? Cause most of us been knowing. 😊
@@misslynlynnc5002 : Some of us didn't know because in his most popular tunes his fine vocals were hidden by heavy beats and talk-singing.
Oh YES we’ve known for many years! James Ambrose Johnson, Jr. Aka, Rick James, Genius!❤
@@misslynlynnc5002.k
Rick James was extremely talented writer and producer. He was a musical genius and to deny him of that title is a crime. Loved his voice and passion he brought to his music. Rick and Smokey sounded beautiful together. I will forever love them for this beautiful love ballad.
I said the same thing @Papi.pharaoh. These are two Artist Extraordinaire.’ This was real music and Rick James was definitely a talented musical genius as you said, and I agree📣🤎
Somebody tell me what happened to us (black folks) when we treasured our women and they treasured us? 🔥🔥ain’t nothing like that Black Woman.

Rick James was so talented. Loved his voice and his passion. He was so versatile.
Not recognize as much as he should have been and this song proves it. Rest In Paradise.🙏🏽❤
You need to listen to island lady by Rick James,let me know how you like it

People forget Rick James had a beautiful singing voice
He had a Broadway/Operatic tone. Coulda done musicals
No we don't!!! HE HADE GREAT VOICE!!!
You're late for the party many of us knew Rick James was the shit man..
RIGHT NOW BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm here with you family.

This song really shows Rick's talent. Not only can he make good music, he actaully can sing
Vocally, Fire & Desire was a pretty good song for him, but this one blew me away. He holds his own against the velvet voice of Smokey. Too bad they never sung together again.
Elder Rondy Fleming HEY MR. FLEMING YOU'RE SO RIGHT THEY JAM THIS SONG!!!
He sung the hell out of fire and desire. No one today cn touch lady teena marie
He sounds like an opera singer man. He can hold his hard notes for a nice period of time
Damn time has flown by. I remember when I first got this album back in 83!! It still holds the test of time. These cats were originals: Michael Jackson, Prince and Rick James, no one will ever compare to these cats!!
you are so right
xed I was 11 when this song came out and boy oh boy do I.miss that era of music!!!!
Damn how time has flown by.
YES INDEED AMEN!
This is a master piece by two of the masters of songs
Viraram caso
AMEN💚💙
Que vontade de ser crianca novamente❤😊 psiu voce que leu meu comentario deus te ama beijoss

Rick and Smokey had no idea what they had done to us when this came out. True classic love song. Thank you for the love you both put in all the music you've made. God bless you Smokey and RIP Rick.
❤ love this kind of music straight to my soul ❤
This is a masterpiece. Rick James is awesome
Rick and Smokey really cooked up a classic - their voices work so well together, even after 40 years this is a hit
!
Rick James has been reduced to a comedian. He is and will always be an award winning singing, acting, producer. There was a time everything he touched turned to gold.
I wouldn’t say reduced I would say added to his legacy
2022
@@sergiojuarez584 Exactly. For my generation, his appearance on Dave's show made him relevant again. Now that I'm older, I go back and study his music. But "I'm Rick James bitch!!" will always be apart of my childhood 😂
You Betta say that

These two complimented each other so well on this track. Smokey had that soft, crooning, "almost begging" sound which adds that mellowness to the song that soothes you. Then Rick came in with that power...not enough to take over the song or take it out it's vibe, but just enough to make you feel just how much he was in love with that woman!!!
The writing, the vibe of it, the voices, the music, the hook, the background crooning.....this could very well be the most "perfect song" I've ever heard.
Yeah bra. The contrast of the two styles is awesome. Beautiful song in any era. Timeless...
Abousoluty! One of my favorite songs of all times.
The singing is exquisite. The song--simply superb.
Dia Akin YES, YES, & more YES!!!!!🙌🏾❤️
It does not get much better than this. Adored Rick James but Smokey......ummmm
Please put Rick in the Rock and Roll HOF , He was a great true talent, He did Teena Marie, Gave Eddie Murphy a hit (my girl likes to party all the time) , Brought back the Temptations (standing on the top) , Had the Mary Jane Girls (in my house) Did this joint with Smokey, and gave MC Hammer (you cant touch this), Gave an ode to Patty Labelle (Spacey Love) He had a slew of hits, a true genius, All the great musicians have demons, ALL of them, Rick James was one of the all time great geniuses, if you don't get it , your missing out.
RICK AIN'T IN?!?
Truth!
And the bassline for thriller practically
RICK NEED PPL TO PUSH FOR THIS TO BE IN THE ROCK OF HALL OF FAME
Wait you mean to tell me he’s not in it already? You’re joking right??
Hoje em 2023 escutando um clássico lindo que ficou na memória de muita gente ❤
As a 22 year old white man I can truly say I know and appreciate good music, not a lot of young folks like me can say the same
keep at it little brother!

2:38 STARTS THE BEST PART, THIS SONG IS MAGIC...
Im convinced that Rick James has never written a bad song ever! Rip king.
Genius
I gree with you ...he was a genius ...🎼🎶🎵👍
Exactly he was a Genius 💗💗💗
👍🫂
In 2002 I was doing security at a Rick James concert. He made a point to talk to all of the staff afterwards to thank us for doing our jobs so well. He had a large entourage of family traveling with him. I know he was older; but he was such a class act & nothing like what the media portrayed.
He had done calmed down a lot...
The media tends to prefabricate things of how a person really is.My take on Rick James is he's a realist and not pretentious.He was always one to say what comes to mind and played by his own rules,yeah alot was self destructive but at the same time he wasn't trying to be no ones puppet.
I definitely believe that.
@@deonnadyson no he hadn’t
@@MaryLou913 no you don’t
My guys blew this song out the waterrrr !!!!😍😍😍Rick & Smokey perfect combination 😍😍😍😍
Many,many beautiful memories in the #80's...
We r blessed to still have Mr.Smokey Robinson with us.🙏🏾☝🏾🌹💐🦋

The silky voices of Mr. William "Smokey" Robinson and Rick James....I really love this song.
Rick James may have been a MFer but, his voice was the truth. ✌🏾️
Listening in 2020 who is here. Rick James got voice, and the combination with Smokey robinson. Ebony eyes is a keeper.
