    Rick James was the real deal - writer, producer, performer, and introduced many new artists including Teena Marie, known as the Ivory Queen of Soul. Rick was a character, as shown in the Chappelle Show's Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories, and he got caught up in cocaine like many did during the 80s.

    Teena Marie was next to 98 Degrees the most successful White Artist to be signed to Motown. Her real name is Mary Christine Brockert who was once called The Ivory Queen Of Soul. She had more exposure in Black Magazines than White Magazines and when she did her first Album for Motown she wasn't allowed to be on The Cover because Berry Gordy The Founder & President didn't want folks to know she was White. Most White Artists who signed to Motown were dropped as quickly as Signed. Chris Clark, Linda Carter (Wonder Woman), Bruce Willis, and after Andre Harrell got fired 98 Degrees went from Motown to an O-Town Band. She gave up her career to raise her daughter Maya and also had some serious problems with prescription addiction since she hurt her back. She left for Columbia aka Sony and wasn't invited to do Motown 25 and she had other hits like Lovergirl that would be a great mashup with The Reflex by Duran Duran. She also fought for the rights of Artists many of which didn't get paid in terms of Back Royalties. To some she was the lady who kicked the door for Christina Aguilera and even Adele.

And I mean every single song. Teena Marie is unparalleled. I don’t think there’s a bad song in the bunch. Her vocal talent speaks for itself. Just drop the mic Teena. Rick James could sing his ass off. I had the pleasure of seeing them both in concert several times. I hope they have both been resting peacefully… It looked like they knocked you TF out with their vocals 😂

Once the show started everyone was on their feet so you couldn't see unless you stood on your chair if you had floor seats and everyone let people stand with them if they needed to. It was amazing! And of course Teena Marie was phenomenal! Music was so great back then. It's nice to see young people discovering it.

      I think I was raising kids and working in those years. Or maybe I just don’t remember some things so great because I was high a lot 😂😂. I’m glad I finally heard it tho, and that’s what I’m here for ☮️🌼♥️🇺🇸

    This is the Slow Jam of Slow Jams!!! You can't say you like Slow Jam Saturday or the Quiet Storm if you ain't on that Fire & Desire by Rick & Lady T. This the closer right here. This track playing after a date when you get back to the spot, you getting asked to come up for some coffee! This playing on the way to a date, you may not make it out the car without them windows being fogged all the way up!

    I like the volume/clarity that your songs play with; it makes the song sound brand new. That's how songs should be examined! This song reminds me of an R&B opera the way it is sung and the "robustness" of Rick and Teena's voices. My favorite part is the end when they wind the song down--Rick is talking but Teena is still softly singing and while they don't get back together, they have a tender moment and you know the love will always be there.

    He dressed like that because he was Rick James, Dammit! A lot of 70s and 80s artists were very flamboyant. We ain’t gonna even talk about the 60s. Wait until you see George Clinton/Parliament/Funkadelic, Bootsy Collins, David Bowie, La Belle, K.C. and The Sunshine Band. Hell, even The Jackson 5 and The Osmonds(who were Mormons). I could go on, but tired of typing right now.

    "I'm Rick James, b!tch!" That was Rick James's own style, nobody else dressed like him. You got to do "Super Freak". . Well, yeah he can sing! They made jokes about Elvis too and he could sing! The jokes came because of the troubles he had. But he was a badass!

    Rick James was a master creative. He did just sing this song. He wrote, arranged it and produced it as with most of his music. He is a true musician and a Hollywood Legend of the 80's.
    Teena Marie is ASMR before it was popular. The woman is a vocal goddess. Very few could stand next to her. Listen to her song Portuguese Love. She sends chills through your body.
