- The King of Punk Funk Rick James thanks the R'n'B awards academy by singing a nice Funky song only with his guitar and a drum beat. He won the Best R'n'B album award for his great Throwin' down album in 1983. The Mary Jane Girls accepted the award because Rick was busy, recording and working.
Damn, this guy made a song for an acceptance speech. That's music af
Indeed ❤
I've never seen another artist do this before or since. RIP to Rick.
Rick James was a musical genius. He left us too soon.
WORD
#STONECITYLOVE❤️
as wholesome as it gets
And an awesome actor
man this makes me wanna tear up, my dad used to play his guitar just like this and he played it so well 😢😢 I miss him so much but I'm holding on to his guitar in the hopes that one day I can pass it on to my kids in honor of him, RIP dad 😢💔💔💔💔💔
This teared me up .
Sounds like he was the same spirit as me , I'd send you a sweet melody for him..
Reminds to appreciate playing .
RJ is so underrated it's a CRIME. Imagine just with a guitar and just singing and rocking the place like this. RJ had so much talent and could sing his ass right off. But with all geniuses, they are wired different from the rest of us. Like Edgar Allen Poe who was hooked on Opium. But when he wasn't high, Edgar couldn't put a sentence together. But when he was full of Opium, he wrote classics that will NEVER DIE. I guess that was the case of RJ, he absolutely was a music writing genius. But I guess he had to be high to tap into his inner being. Sometimes it goes like that. RIP RJ..
Most musicians use drugs as inspiration, but they make garbage while they are using it. The Beatles are the same, they wrote songs while they were high, and they scrapped it all the next day.
@@ghettomist1575 blacks will always get a bad rap for anything they do..
Lil Wayne claimed he performs better while on the drank.
MAN YOU GO TO FAR. HE DO NOT HAVE NOTHING SIMULAR WITH EDGAR DARK MAN.THIS IS GOD BLESS CHILDE WHO LIKE COKE!! AND KNOW TO JOKE!!!

The best part is when he thanks his dog, Ganja. Why give an acceptance speech when something like this can bring joy and live on forever. R.I.P Rick James
That was epic. This whole thing is epic! One of the best things I’ve seen on the interweb
…. The dog was so mesmerized 🤣 🙏🏾 Rick James was truly a blessed spirit
“Music is something that comes from the heart” now it comes from the pocket. All they care about is profit. We miss you Rick, you gave us the best memories.
Every facet of life. It’s sad but said in that great book of old. End time men will be lovers of money! With that went humanity and integrity.
Your smile is beautiful.
No soul in the music. That's what's missing.
it can still come from the heart. Pick up that guitar right now and fucking ROCK N ROLL!
This man had more talent in his hair follicle then majority of the crap that was out then and even today
Funny how no one has recognized that the rhythm and chords are " I Need Your Lovin' " by Teena marie which he co wrote with her... That was his boo.. they had chemistry like no other in those days
How'd u figure? I cant hear it..
good ear
That's so cool he co-wrote that with her
I hear it too😅.
Wow I've listened to this hundreds of times. I Need Your Loving is one of my faves by Teena. Very sharp ear. I didn't catch until you said it!!!! Dope
That guitar intro was badass
Teena Marie - I need your lovin
Rick was too damn good at writing n producing
1 of the greatest producers, arrangers,writers and composers 2 ever do it
He should've recorded this 😢
Rick James had much more talent than what meets the eye. He wrote all of his songs, as well as arranging and producing all of his material. His music was so diverse and was so unique. The individual who got the credit for the diverse mixing of genres was Prince. I love Prince as well, but Rick James definitely influenced him in so many ways. Rick James was literally a genius like Prince and their music was so similar.
That was 🔥 even adorable Ganja looked like he was into it!
Uncle Rick James was so talented, he could sing just as well as he could play. Rest easy Uncle Rick James I know you are playing and entertaining up in Heaven above.
The greatest cameraman of the year too! I love how he got close to show the strumming and fretting!
I genuinely would buy this over most of the new stuff.
Right.

Dammm that was so hot- even ganga was into it, he was lookin like dammm Rick you rocked that & didn't even leave the house! What a thank you! Bet they were digging that too! RIP RICK
So true.
R.I.P King of Punk Funk!!!!
Rick James was beyond talented!!
I thought this dude was just a party animal maniac with a few decent songs. I’m shocked how talented this dude is. A true artist.
Bro you better recognize!! Rick was no joke, you should take the time and listen to his catalog. There’s so many great cuts
Don’t play about Rick like that the man is the definition of a musician okay
So much talent.....wish he was still alive....we need more musicians like him..."music is something that comes from the heart... too roo too too too roo..too too too too roo
Rick is still the man.
What a talent. What a man...
RIP Rick James. Talent and Swagger!

That was amazing....
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING
Beautiful.
Check it- even the dog is digging on Rick's groove! Priceless!! I loved the way he played guitar. Would have liked to have heard his bass playing too.

When my brother and sister and I were like.. 10, 9, and 7 years old in like 1990 or so, my Uncle Raymond came to stay with us for a while... Idr how long he was with us, I think it was a couple months, and also I didn't know he was with us to get out of his home town because he was trying to kick dope and get away from the old people, places, and things, and Uncle Ray was always _cool_ dude lol he was also part of a gang too and had some violent tendencies, but he was great with us and he _loved_ music; specifically R&B, funk, and soul because (same as my ma and her siblings) that's what they grew up with, and while he was living there with us I remember he was messing with the radio and asked us what we like to listen to and none of us knew anything about music at all and he was stunned lol so he would be like (with every track or artist he showed us) "this is the SHIT right HERE!" And he'd play us stuff like Marvin Gaye, Rick James (his #1 fav) all those great R&B funk/soul type of groups (mostly African people artists) including some rock like Jimi Hendrix as well and we didn't know how to dance either and so he'd play mostly his favorite Rick James and we'd dance in the living room and he'd show us his cool moves n shit and here we were these little kids grooving to Rick James and when we'd ride around with ma we'd be in the back singing "SHE'S A SUPA FREAK! SUPA FREAK! SHE'S SUPA FREAK-AY OW!"😂 We'd have to spend weekends with our ex father and he was a hypocrite christian and said all secular music was satanic and we'd be in the back of his truck and sing Rick James tunes and he'd be like "where'd you learn that?? Forget all that music right now!" Hell naw dude, not happenin' lol eventually Uncle Ray went back home and eventually we moved to his hometown where all my ma's family was and we were reunited again for a few years until he passed away tragically when I was 14 and that really hurt all of us.. and for a while I couldn't listen to that music because it'd make me feel a type of way, but I'm much older now and I love the old music he'd shown us, ESPECIALLY Rick James! because it makes me remember those early days of dancing in the living room, him teaching us how to talk to girls, how to fold and wear a bandana, how to roll a cigarette even 😂 my mom got mad at that one lol but yeah.. I never knew Rick James, but he holds a special place in my soul and memory alongside my Uncle Raymond.
This was beautiful. Rip Uncle Raymond and Rip Rick James
Rick was so talented.
I gotta give it to rick because that was so good.....
That was fire🔥🔥🔥....R.I.P Rick James
Music is something that comes from the heart!
If only my generation and people of this industry today would realize how this would be a game changer
This dude was a Beast!! But when your uncle is David Ruffin you don’t have much of a choice than to be sensational
Rip to the late great Rick James
His uncle was Melvin Franklin

I hope If I make it in the industry your soul will help guide me Cousin. Ase.
Rick was very talented, especially if he just made that song up right on the spot! However, all I kept thinking about while watching this is stories that dog could tell if he was still alive and could talk 😂.
Rick James was a walking hit machine. That’s all he did was wrote hits for himself and others
Miss you rick
my Frat brother Phi Beta Sigma. Rest well king. amazing
This hits hard af.
The group Tuxedo actually used a portion of this song on one of their albums. I doubt they credited Rick James though.
