Rickie Lee Jones is a national treasure! A true original. Criminally overlooked by this generation.
Rickie Lee was told by Tom Waits, her old boyfriend, that their mutual friend Chuck E (Weiss) was in love. This album won her the 1980 (corrected) best new artist Grammy. For a different side of her see her song "Last Chance Texaco" from the same album. Her career got a boost when Lowell George from Little Feat used her song "Easy Money" on his solo album.
@Zolar Czakl That video is a great find!
Born in Chicago, grew up in Phoenix Arizona, Rickie Lee is known for this song by people who have never listened to her albums - once you hear her albums it's like a revelation that you never really recover from (in a good way). This was her first single from her first album in 1979.
Her albums always charted well - her first two albums were in the top ten in several countries including the US.
Classy music made by a classy artist !!
Woody and Dutch on the Slow Train to Peking is one of many great tracks (it's from her second album Pirates).
She lives in New Orleans now. Still does some touring.
The whole Pirates album is excellent.
RLJ is one of the best singer songwriters ever. Really. Highly underestimated. She has a slew of albums, each as good as the other. She started off in the late 70s, and now lives and works in New Orleans. She’s the shit, no doubt.
I just saw Rickie Lee live about 3 years ago.
70 years old now, and she's still performing and writing new music.
She's amazing.
She does a great cover of a Jimi Hendrix song, "Up From the Skies", that's a delight, along with a full catalog of gems she's written herself.
This was a BIG hit for her, but the song “Danny’s All Star Joint” is the song that made me buy this album.
Doyt doyt
me too...great bass line
Rickie Lee is one of the all time greats.
Danny's All Star Joint , also from this album, is the song to do next.
As a songwriter RLJ had always carved out her own space. A deeply unique artist who is a
veteran eccentric. Longtime fan. I 'd suggest you give "We Belong Together" a listen. "Chuck-E..." was first hit & most probably her biggest. But her voice is a gift to the world of music.
There is absolutely no one like Ricki Lee! Killer of a debut album. Thanks for this.
Thanks for watching!
Another vote for The Last Chance Texaco, a stunningly beautiful torch song, from the same album, her first (from 1979!).
Danny's Allstar Jukebox Joint is another one with great musicianship where, once again, her voice is one of the instruments. She is heavily Jazz influenced.
Great choice, love this album! This tune is so good with Steve Gadd on drums playing his version of a shuffle, incredible. Thanks
Song is from 1979. She's from L.A. A fantastic singer and songwriter with a dozen or so albums under her belt. Still touring. Back in the day, she put on a couple of the best concerts I ever saw. So, Chuck E. is an old friend who hasn't been hanging out lately. She's wondering what's going on and decides he must be in love. So who is she? What's her name? But, she finally figures out that Chuck E. is "in love with the little girl who's singing this song". This was her only hit single (first song on her first album). She pulled in enough fans to keep her career going to this day, but everything, especially her first half dozen albums, are awesome. A good next step would be "We Belong Together".
Thanks for all the info Brumley!
"Danny's All-Star Joint", from the same album, would be a great followup
Rickie Lee didn’t repeat herself. She had done some fascinating music
This tune was everywhere back in the day. Saw her performance of Chuck E on SNL. 2010 got to see her live in LA. Was looking forward to her performance of Chuck E however she did not do it. Her live show was so good I was not disappointed at missing Chuck E. Great selection my friend.
Saw this first on SNL, went out the next day and bought the album. This came out in 1979, she won The Grammy for Beat New Artist. It is hard to pinpoint what genre because she is so unique. There is no one like her.
I believe the album came out in '79...Shes a great lyricist and musician...I love her singing style much....my fave actually...this is such a catchy song...try Night Train, Danny's All Star Joint, We Belong Together...you'll see her songs all sound different
Thanks for sharing!
Bought this record when it was released, one of those albums that everybody loves. Thanks for the reaction.
This album still holds up really well.
Thanks for watching!
just one of the best damn songs. that's it.
The one and only Steve Gadd on drums 🥁🔥
Pease do, Rickie Lee Jones - Last Chance Texaco.
Last Chance Texaco is my favorite, it is hauntingly beautiful, and full of metaphors.

Rickie is one of the coolest ladies in the Country. Would love to hangout with her for sure.
Let me say how unique and wonderful an artist she is. Chuck E is definitely in love and so are we! Also, can I say that Rickie Lee (the little girl singin' this song)is the one Chuck E loves. Try 1970s or so.
This was one of her few songs that got commercial airplay late 70's interesting fact she use to go with tom waits
I LOVE this question. Even then, everyone asked what is the genre? Rickie Lee is the genre. You are right, and this iconic song made a pathway for so much that followed. Not just stylistically but...spiritually. She defied the winds of the time and did her own "me" in the polyester years of disco. what insightful comments about her singing style - she was indecipherable, singing words and sounds rhythmically instead of articulating the word. too bad, her lyrics are funny and bright. She makes you come in close... and that create an intimacy right off.
It was spring of 1979 when this song came out. She was on the cover of Rolling Stone a few months later - she was a phenomenon. Perhaps the first female singer songwriter Pop star. Bruce was probably the first male - a rock star for the new decade. She also was kind of sexy, and that was a new concept for singer songwrtiers. Rickie would be the mother of the jazzy-pop women who followed - voices like Suzanne Vega, Tory Amos, Jewel, Sheryl Crow all owe a debt to the RLj record they wore out. As far as the chronology, Chuck E's in Love was first, Chuck E Cheese followed, and all the other Chucky's, evil or otherwise, that became popular in the 80's. Even the spelling of the song was pick up - the clever Tone E and joe E of the 1980's. Rickie Lee Jones' 2022 memoir was voted the Best (music) Book of the year, according to MOJO and afew other publications. .It's so good to see this music being discovered. I hope it ends up on a tv show or covered by someone soon. It's very odd that people don't know Rickie Lee Jones.
A good debut album for her. This was radio played standard, but that doesn't take away from it cool & funny. And yes Danny's All Star Joint is probably the best song, but there's a real excellent video of a House episode to the tune of On a Saturday Afternoon in 1963. Almost heartbreaking. Rikki is definitely a 70's "beat" as in beatnik, artist.
One other thing I need to mention: I was a big fan of The Muppet Show growing up and always believed that one female puppet with the red beret was Rickie!
🥰how cute awwww
Yeah love her lyrical cadence. Makes it more poetic sounding. Nice little diddy 😃
SEW YOUR 👖PANTS!
Just try her cover of "The Low Spark Of High-Heeled Boys", a masterpiece by Stevie Winwood and Traffic..
Glad you guys gave Ricki a try, buy you usually go with something less obvious than the BIG hit. Here's to more!
My favourite on this album is Danny’s All-Star Joint.
Back in the day, known as “the Duchess of cool”.
There are few singer/songwriters as talented. I know of several songs by her that'll bring me to tears and l don't know if I can say that about anybody else. Her stuff is just so relatable and poignant and heartbreaking. Finally, someone's reacting to her! IAFT!
This came out when I was in middle school (late 70s) and I thought she was the coolest thing ever. Her second album, Pirates, was even better. She released a great song of standards called Pop Pop that was unlike any album of standards you're ever going to hear, produced IIRC by Don Was. I always thought she had to be a junkie, but maybe she was just the patron saint of junkies or something. Anyhow, she's great (and a great songwriter, too) and I'm sad now that I hadn't listened to her in so long.
Sales-wise, her debut album fared WAY better than her second-in fact, not even close.
@@jessieball6195 of course it did, but my comment wasn't about sales.
Would you believe that this was a hit back in the day? I wasn't a big fan of it. I had forgotten all about this song till I ran into it through your reaction. I can live without it like I have the last 40 years.
Rickie does the best cover of "Just Walk Away Renee".
homeless in LA when she wrote these songs.... won grammy for best new artist in 1979... check out her acceptance speech...if van morrison had a musical sister...
Grammy for best new artist when this came out.
play the video of her shows so great to watch her.
This is the music I grew up with 70s had the best music👊
Great album, huge at the time. This was the big hit, but you should also check out Easy Money from the same album ... and if you want to stretch your legs a little you could check out Lowell George's (from Little Feat) version of the song on his solo album, Thanks, I'll Eat it Here (which is another criminally overlooked album).
This guy's got a lot of Rhythm doesn't HE?
Great, articulate take on the song- even if you were off by a country kilometer and change on the country from which it sprang - nice non-backhanded compliment to my home on Native land - she's a cool chick! Offbeat and totally individual. Ha-cha-cha. 😎
Phenomenal song-writer and vocalist. Had the pleasure to see her once live back about 2002. Keep your eyes peeled for requests for songs from her album "Flying Cowboys". (Envision me putting my fingers to my lips and making the 'mmm-wahhh' sound.)
If only I'd bought stock in Raspberry Berets before this wonderful album came out. Saw RIckie Lee Jones in 1979 in Houston. It was a great show. Thanks for the fun review!
Thanks for watching!
Going to kill me with this one so excited to watch love love her first two albums were stellar hope you love love you
We loved it!
Yeah I'm so happy we put Chucky's in love in the books, thanks. Basically Steely Dan told Ricky not to lose that number. She called a bit later and this is what we got:
"He's got a type of cool with his old blue jeans...ahhhhhhh..Baaababaaa!"
Great album. Try Youngblood and Danny's Allstar Joint.
Look at the personnel on her debut album. It will blow you away.
Her "Company" is one of the most touching songs I know. She is maybe the greatest singer song writer of the century...

Just recently got into your reactions and am very happy to say your musical education and knowledge continues to expand in a very positive direction. I really enjoyed the "Zappa-isms", "Dan-demoniums" and "Windy City 7" reactions. Keep pressing forward and keep on pushing Love. Rickie Lee Jones has a great catalog too.💓🎶🎶🎶🥂🥳🍾🥃🍷🎹🎷🎸🎺🕊️🍾💲💲💲
Thanks so much for your kind words Ricky! We appreciate you!
On the same album “juniors all stars “ is a real good track funky !
Always loved this song and there was an update in the 80s: Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians' "What I Am". (It feels somehow similar to me)
I remember sometime late 80s to early 90s Rolling Stone (back when they were still a music mag) doing a short 60s vs. 70s vs. 80s half page table. One of the items on the list was: "The girl with a beret," and the 60s girl was Joni Mitchel, the 70s' was Rickie Lee, and Eddie Brickel was for the 80s. The only other item on the list that I remember was "Walking death," because Keith Richard was the entry for the three decades. 🙂 [although, in truth, in the 60s KR was still baby-faced]
❤️❤️❤️ Little Fluffy Clouds ❤️❤️❤️
Please! Do yourselves a great favor and do a reaction video to the song called Danny’s All Star Joint from the same album. It’s an amazing song.
This is smooth jazz all the way. This song was on her first album in 1979. Also her biggest hit-by far.
It sure is. In the late 70s, it is an LA sound. Think of Steely Dan, Tom Scott and the wrecking crew. All of them have this jazzy coolness to them.
You said it you got no idea
Thanks for confirming
Last Chance Texaco.
chucky was her cousin he was in love with her
But at the end, she realizes that Chuck E.'s in love with HER. (I was too when this album came out...) Peace.
then you MUST react to her "Last Chance Texaco"....and "Company".
Rickie don’t lose that # 😎
🥰
YOU HAVE TO WATCH THE VIDEO
Who's Chuck E in love with? He's in love with the little girl singing this song. Chuck E's in love with her.
1979
A super dooper big worldwide hit suprisingly because it was musical and jazzy....Not my favourite song of hers...AS a matter of fact I run when I hear it because it has been spun so many times we start to hear the B side shining through.
She wrote a song''the horses'' which was covered by Australian singer Daryl Braithwaite which become a great standard and re-fired his career...the song ''the horse'' ruclips.net/video/lnigc08J6FI/видео.html
But what I wanna know is does Rickie still have that number or did she lose it. Or am I confused?
😆
I "borrowed" this album from my roommate back in the day, I feel so guilty 8-P
☺️. In life, you’re either gonna be the victim or perpetrator of that 😆 sometimes both! Thanks for watching!
Mista Willie weeks on da bass...
Hey, you missed the twist at the end! Rickie's all upset that Chuck E's acting weird and she's worried he's in love and who is she in love with... but then aet the end she realizes that Chuck E is in love with her!
Never heard of Rickie Lee Jones?
Not sure why you have Page and Plant listed as writers?
? We don’t. You tube does
Is it possible to sound more laid back than this ?
A pleasant enough little song, no great shakes. Not something I would buy or have on a playlist but decent pop music nevertheless. Perhaps a more realistic view of this song would be from my nephew. He was about 4 or 5 at the time and he loved it, his favourite song!
shes a sweed
Beautiful losers.
You guys got no clue
Thanks!
