Rick James was my man in high school. This is priceless to me. This song demands you be out on the dance floor….immediately!! This peaked at #40 on the Billboard Hot 100. How was this not a #1 hit??!!

[@keithroberts4952]

I remember when this was released back in 1981 and it hit number 40 on the pop charts! I could not believe it! I was angry about it because it was clearly one of his best songs which deserved a top ten pop placing at least!

[@voxandlocks]

Actually, if you listen, this is a SOUL song. It peaked at #1 on the SOUL chart as well as #1 on the Dance (Club Play) chart. The two charts this track was designed to climb. Therefore, THIS WAS A NUMBER ONE HIT!

[@wiltchamberlainisthegoat13]

@@voxandlocks True, but this song was pretty mainstream to me. I was 16 or 17 when this dropped. We would go to “Teen Night” on Sunday nights to a local club, and yes the dance floor would be packed when the DJ played this song. We teenage suburban white kids sure loved it.

[@keithroberts4952]

Rick James was a master at funk music. He was also one hell of a producer for Motown in the late 60's & 70's before he became a solo artist producing songs for the MIRACLES & SPINNERS to name a couple. Later on he went on to produce THE MARY JANE GIRLS, SMOKEY ROBINSON, EDDIE MURPHY and TEENA MARIE. He also discovered and created bands like THE MARY JANE GIRLS. The man was everywhere and did so much. Unfortunately, he got swept up in a lifestyle of hard drugs and alcohol and his life ended far too soon.

[@paprikanika2145]

Haha! Yes, I was laughing when they said something like he's spunky. I'm like they have word for this--funk! 😂

[@angelinaramon]

He had a powerful voice and he was so fun to watch.

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

Rick James, is a great artist, he had loads of hits back in the day. Check out, "You and I", "Mary Jane", "Dance Wit' Me", "Bustin' Out", "Big Time", "On The Run", there are others but these are some of my favourites.

Never forget: Rick James and Neil Young were in a R&B band together, the Mynah Birds in the mid-60’s!

[@Musicvegan01]

The deep voice at the end is Melvin Franklin from The Temptations. Melvin also does some backgrounds on "It Must Be Magic" by Teena Marie. Y'all might want to listen to "Standing On The Top" by The Temptations. If you do, find the longer album version, not the short music video version although the dancing in it is cool.

They were somehow related

[@Grainraiser]

Melvin Franklin was Ricks uncle. Rick James made song with the Temptations called Standing on the Top which is fiyah.

[@susanaltman5134]

[@jeffreyharvey9919]

Rick was a true character but also a great musician who built his own sound that he called “punk funk”. You really need to put “You and I” on your list. “ Mary Jane” is a must too, but I feel like that was in one of the Friday movies so you may have heard it.

Rick James was 5 years ahead of Prince. Rick signed with A&M Records in 1973. Prince's career started in 1978.

[@Skeezer66]

@@butterflymama0838 Rick James signed earlier, but his hits came later, in the late 70's-early 80's, like Prince.

[@gracieb.3054]

@@Skeezer66 Rick James songs are awesome, but he only had 2 hits I can think of. Prince was a multi-intstrumentalist, singer, dancer, composer that put out album after album of impressive music. Prince's first album came out in the late 70's as well, and each successive album was more successful than the last, until his massive hit album and movie, "Purple Rain". It is just about as perfect an album as they come. Can listen to the whole thing and every song is perfect. Oh, and yeah, I guess you can add movie star to the list of achievements Prince made in his lifetime.

[@Skeezer66]

@@gracieb.3054 Rick James had and did much more than 2 songs, but he also did way too many drugs and had other legal and money problems. Rick had ideas of using more rock sounds that he called 'funk punk', but Prince is Prince. Still, he had more than 2 hits, there was all the work he did with Teena Marie, producing music with Eddie Murphy and a few Motown groups, he brought lots of success to that company in the 80's.

Love the reaction. Rick was a character for sure, but there is no doubt that he was a truly gifted musician. His range of songs from the truly funky to the more serious. I would highly recommend listening to When Love is Gone. this song displays his skills on the guitar., with a mesmerizing solo in the middle of this song Plus a nice sultry sax mixed in. Another more serious song is Hollywood. It will get in your feels for sure.

You mix Rick James, Little Richard, Jimmie Hendrix, Lenny Kravis together and what do you have? ... PRINCE!

[@JazzDrummer1946]

Exacta mon.

[@SharonDoucette]

Great description, but instead of Lenny Kravitz, I would suggest Edwin Birdsong whose influence on Lenny Kravitz is quite apparent in ‘Rising Sign’; at least it’s apparent to me. Then I’d have to give credit to Jimi Hendrix whose influence can be heard in some of Edwin Birdsong’s music.I’m not talking about the really funky stuff like ‘Rapper Snapper Dapper’ and ‘Cola Bottle Baby’

[@williamyates694]

Well... Kravitz was influenced by Prince so... Prince once said he loved watching Paul Stanley from KISS perform. So maybe a bit of that. Kravitz also said he was influenced by Paul Stanley when he appeared on the KISS tribute album.

[@SharonDoucette]

@@williamyates694 That may all be true but, if you listen to Lenny Kravitz’s singing style, it’s identical to Edwin Birdsong’s. Someone who’d never heard of Birdsong would probably think that they were listening to Lenny Kravitz. It could be purely coincidental that he just happens to sound so much like Birdsong.

Saw him in concert twice. I even saw him when he and his buddy walked into a club I happened to be at. He was dressed in his leather like he was ready to do a concert. He only stayed for about all of 10 minuets because I guess it was too slow for him. It was a small club near Beverly Hills. I did not say anything to him because he looked a little hyped up. I use to have a friend at the time who played keyboards for Teena Marie on tour so he also knew Rick.

[@thebrazilshow]
