People can say what they want about this Man, everyone makes mistakes, but to me Rick James was a wonderful singer, actor etc. A bad ass guitar player as well. We have to remember Rick James influence past musicians and future musicians as well. I will always love him and love his Music.
This man dominated the 70s. He was self taught and could play every instrument in his band. He was something to be reckon with . He discovered Tina Marie and made her a star. I have all of his albums to this day. Love me some Rick James😉.
don't forget the Mary Jane girls, that was Rick too!, nothing against Prince or Michael, but Rick was our bad boy, he did and said things that other musicians dated not even attempt.
It was always about loving a woman and giving her what she desired until she glowed. He may even sacrificed his own respect and happiness to help those in need!
This song was one his BADDEST, the bass line, the horns , and i really love how the background vocals really come through without taking over his vocals just listen to it BRILLIANT all the way to him doing some SCAT ,
Yes indeed!!! In total agreement. This song got the treatment by some bad mamma jammaz. The keyboard solo,the trumpet solo,background vox arrangements in the break down when they sing glow and altered the melody. Rick mixed it up with a jazz and rock vibe.. it's a real musical treat.
No one could rock some frills & still take your woman other than Rick! Rick was a true musical genius who has no rival till this day. Rick was an amazingly kind & inclusive man who will never be replaced. RIP Master of Funk Rick James.
Me as well and listened to a lot of his music. It wasn't until I saw the documentary his daughter produced.Is when I said damn how I didnt listen to this?
My name is SYNA like SINNA from Arlington Projects Staten island New York City and I love this song!! I listened to this song since I was 10 years old in the wild shoot em up town! My Mom's and her friends used to bump this in the bars and in the parties there is absolutely NOTHING LIKE NEW YORK CITY!!!!
The best punk rock star of all time his music is infectious he should be in the hall of fame thank you to k for taken the time to talk with me your my idol
I can remember when my younger brother use to watch the “A-Team” and I happened to walk into the room when they had Rick James playing this song in a concert on the show. The only time I spent watching Mr T. and the gang.
Hepburn Scott the music from those decades is still relevant and has aged finely whether it be funk like Rick James, Michael Jackson and Prince or rock, hard rock or metal such as Budgie, Black Sabbath, Doors etc
I remember seeing Him perform this song on an episode of The A-Team in Season 4 called The Heart Of Rock And Roll. Also featuring Isaac Hayes as C.J. Mack.
The first time I heard this I was riding on 271 in Cleveland with my guy in a brand new convertible Candy Apple red Mustang. It just makes you wanna ride....
Born in 1994 and damn the beats and meanings of the songs of this era have me going into a trance ! They CANT be compared to the songs coming out these days!
I'm a Rick James fan since his Busting Out Of L'Seven Square album that came out in 1979 and not because I'm a Rick fan why I say this is a serious piece of musical construction.
Love the bass, the tone of voice and harmony, the speed, rythym. The background keyboards. Hints of sweaty Funk and Classy opera. Perfect combination. Definitely a favorite from Slick Rick Freaky James 🥃🥃
One of the Most Prolific Music Artists on the Planet All the Best to his Family, Friends, Fans and All the Rest. Miss you my friend saw you at DAR Constitutional Hall in Washington DC Where I graduated from McKinley Technical High School in 1982 go Techites
'Glow' & 'Moonchild' are two of my favs by Rick, and I feel the two songs don't get enough love. Both songs for me were two of his greatest of many hits!!
That intro was equal parts Patrick Cowley and The Price Is Right, but not quite as great as either. But it settled in right after to a silky smooth groove. It was a rare RJ mix show favorite, WBMX played it a lot on Saturdays in 1985 and 86.
WHY DO I LIKE THIS SONG SO MUCH?!!!!
It talks to you how you glow. I love ❤️ it I feel it
The music beckons your attention then its on and snapping from there💃🏾🕺🏿💃🏾🕺🏿
People can say what they want about Rick. He was a fantastic Musician and knew how to make people move. This is a great song.
Because its a pretty good song and they don't make songs like this anymore!!!
Because you GLOW DAM’T and just don’t know it!
People can say what they want about this Man, everyone makes mistakes, but to me Rick James was a wonderful singer, actor etc. A bad ass guitar player as well. We have to remember Rick James influence past musicians and future musicians as well. I will always love him and love his Music.
RICK JAMES WAS FUNK PERIOD. THAT'S WHY HE WAS ONE OF THE MOST SAMPLED ARTISTS OF ALL TIME.
Including Prince!
Bass Player*
I thought I was the only one who shared your perspective!!
Agree 💯
This man dominated the 70s. He was self taught and could play every instrument in his band. He was something to be reckon with . He discovered Tina Marie and made her a star. I have all of his albums to this day. Love me some Rick James😉.

Yes he is an iconic man. I love the song Super Freak and how he collaborated with the Temptations. To me that was so iconic.

i lost some of my records
I’m a 70s baby I would love for this era and the 90s to come back
Why 111 thumbs down jealous haters this man was a legend
Because they were the bitches who didn't know he was Rick James.
I love his music. I don’t like that he supposedly kept a woman from leaving a room while smoking crack.
I'm a 80's baby...oh how I wish music could be as authentic as THIS... RIGHT NOW
One of my favorite RJ jams!!
You know why don't 'cha? 'CUZ I'M RICK JAMES, BITCH
!
Theve
I agree! But at it's still there to be enjoyed.
70's kid but the 80's were had the best music (70's to) 😁.
It was always about loving a woman and giving her what she desired until she glowed. He may even sacrificed his own respect and happiness to help those in need!
GOD/JESUS CHRIST/HOLY GHOST makes me GLOW!!!
This song is so great! I'm 21 years old. I love the 80's 📀🎶📀🎶
You got taste kid. I can direct you to some 🔥 70’s & 80’s stuff if you want
How Fortunate are we that we dont have to wish that good music would come back when in fact it never left...Never will...R.I.P Brotha Rick
This song was one his BADDEST, the bass line, the horns , and i really love how the background vocals really come through without taking over his vocals just listen to it BRILLIANT all the way to him doing some SCAT ,

Whoever's playing the bass, guitars, keyboards and drums on this song is killing it. Wow.
No one could rock some frills & still take your woman other than Rick! Rick was a true musical genius who has no rival till this day. Rick was an amazingly kind & inclusive man who will never be replaced. RIP Master of Funk Rick James.
Another one of our many brothers who left us too soon. R.I.P. Mr. James.
The king of punk funk
yesssss
He will get into the Hall of Fame.....too much talent to not be recognized.
I loved this music back in the '80s but somehow didn't appreciate how lucky we were.
Now it's doing it to me again.
You'll feel much better if you JUST open up your heart and let it GLOW!!!!DON'T YOU KNOW YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL
A song I slept on back in the day!...I feel ashamed!..Def a gem!

That's how you write a song. You beautiful thing you ✨ GLOW 🌟
music at its finest. real musicians, nothing beats the 60's - 80's for quality music.
Hepburn Scott the music from those decades is still relevant and has aged finely whether it be funk like Rick James, Michael Jackson and Prince or rock, hard rock or metal such as Budgie, Black Sabbath, Doors etc
Yeah, and that Kenny Hawkins played some mean guitar riffs on Ricks recordings.
One of my favourite joints by Rick. A work of art.
"You'll feel much better, just open up your heart and GLOOOW! Oh baby!" 🌟
he was the last king of funk and his music swings.one of a kind
Good god his drummer has a rock solid meter!
Steve Ferrone of the Average White Band?

Always think of the Price is Right with that intro 😆
Slick Rick! Awesome! #Glow!
Musical genius!
Factual cause we drink and party all night into tha morning 😎
I absolutely love Rick James. I grew up listening to his music. He was a talented musician and actor. He looked so handsome in the movie Life. 💋💋
April 1st 2018: He's on an episode of the A-Team right now doing this song... El Rey TV network :-)
♪ Happy Easter to everyone ♫
I saw him sing this last night on The A Team so I had to check it out this morning, I don't remember it when it was popular.
That's the very same way I ran across this song.
+1, although I knew who Rick James was thx to Detroit Swindle - Jick Rames, and GTA Vice City before
The album "Glow" was released in 1985 but Superfreak was much earlier than that around 1981.
I saw that episode back in the mid 1980's can you tell me which episode he appeared in?
Me too!! Lol
No 0ne like him! Inspiration to many and he lived his life to the fullest! A legend.
Rick Loved to Party baby ,party all the time ....
Rick James in the house, at his best💃🏻🕺🏻💃🏻🕺🏻. I got you baby.👍🏿
The horns...the horns!!
