      Yes, you're right about class/school, and yes, the kids are failing the tests. People like us are trying to help them with their homework, but they'd rather go play.....play so-called music that has no meaning, no feeling, no heart or soul.
      It truly breaks my heart to see people Amber and Jordan's age not even trying to learn about different types of music from different decades and have their children follow in their footsteps. Thankfully, these two are giving their kids a chance. 👍🏽

    AND...Legend has it that the day they were to record "Fire & Desire", Teena was sick with a fever and wanted to postpone the session. But, Rick was ready to do it anyway and thought about using another singer to fill in. Apparently, when Teena found out, she was not having it. She went into the studio anyway, cut her vocals and then went to the ER from the studio! Great story.

    Yes, Rick James (RIP) and Teena Marie (RIP) were amazing together. I think this was their their second and most popular duet of 3. They also did Square Biz, a dance track that helped introduce Teena Marie. But don't be fooled, most of the rest of Rick James music is Punk Funk with a heavy guitar and the horns of his Stone City Band.

So very glad you were able to get around to this one.

    OH MY GOD!!! YALL JUST BE LIKE "HOW CAN WE MAKE JARRYL HAPPY TODAY"!! Stephanie Mills yesterday, TRADING PLACES ANNNNNNNND FIRE & DESIRE TODAY?!?!?! Oh my goodness.
    BTW Amber your braids look so good!! You're giving Janet Jackson Poetic Justice
    And yall were looking for the wording of the vocal runs. And yea to me with this song you can hear the love that existed between them when they made it, it didn't last, it didn't work out but they really made some great music together and this song is the epitome of that. Rest in peace to both of them, 2 phenomenal voices. I have recommendations for both that hit this similar energy (nothing I've heard from either quite compares to this).
    Teena - Portugese Love (with Rick on background voices), Ohh La La La, Out On A Limb, & I Need Your Lovin (with Rick on the bass)

    Amber: "Singing notes that makes babies!!!!" The best description I ever heard regarding Rick's vocals on this track. Teena Marie was a once and a lifetime talent. Do more of her content please, especially "Out on a Limb" or "Portuguese Love". Amber you will love it. Excellent reaction usual.

    Teena was incredibly sick. She had to be rushed to the ER once she finished this song bc she collapsed. She had the flu real bad!
    Rick acted a fool BECAUSE he knew he had talent. He played every instrument, wrote the lyrics n produced this entire song!

    Rick James was the Master of Punk Funk but his ballads are outstanding. He came on the scene in the '70's & blew us young folk away. Then he introduced us to Teena Marie & magic ensued. R.I.P. Rick & Teena❤️

    Thanks for this gem. Familiar with both artists but not the song. Talent spilling out everywhere here. They both were the real deal, this was the epitome of the early-mid-80's Motown ballad sound.

    Rick James' voiceabd vocal technique were underated. He was excellent. He has this great uptempo tune 'You and I' that showed off his skill pretty well. Teena Marie was also fantastic as well, her song 'I Need Your Lovin' from her incredible album 'Irons in the Fire', shows her funk skills with grace and depth. This song shows both of them at the height of their powers. Kudos to your first listen.
