When I first heard this song, I couldn't believe that Smokey Robinson and Rick James recorded this song because their music waa so different but, I 'm glad they recorded this song because, I. LOVE iT!¹ Marion Hunter.
This video is so cringe, but, the song is amazing! We all know that Smokey can sing the phone book, but Rick also had a beautiful voice and this song blends the two very well. This was fun to hear again after so many years!
Yea you're right, it was amazing how they were able to make it work but then again it is Rick James and Smokey Robinson, 2 geniuses and extremely talented writers as well as artists.
Michael Turman people are Afraid to master their Craft and love themselves who cares if you sound ugly , you’re more than likely Trying to sing like someone else when you’re singing , try actually listening to how your voice work and see how dope you are at it 😎 but sadly as the years go on our Youth are becoming Drained , that’s why it’s so different because our music aren’t receiving vibes like this or ENERGY like this , so that’s why you just gotta keep coming back to Classics , I swear it charges up yo Spirit
Rick James was an outstanding musician and music producer but don't forget that this man could really SING as well!! Great vocals here along with the LEGEND Smokey Robinson!!
Please put Rick in the Rock and Roll HOF , He was a great true talent, He did Teena Marie, Gave Eddie Murphy a hit (my girl likes to party all the time) , Brought back the Temptations (standing on the top) , Had the Mary Jane Girls (in my house) Did this joint with Smokey, and gave MC Hammer (you cant touch this), Gave an ode to Patty Labelle (Spacey Love) He had a slew of hits, a true genius, All the great musicians have demons, ALL of them, Rick James was one of the all time great geniuses, if you don't get it , your missing out.
Rick James was so talented. Loved his voice and his passion. He was so versatile. Not recognize as much as he should have been and this song proves it. Rest In Paradise.🙏🏽❤
His voice does get lost in all the things he's done. What I didn't know is he had a acting role in the movie Life with Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence. I've seen that movie several times and didn't even recognize him. Just type Rick James in Life to check it out for yourself.
I remember when this song came out in the fall of 1983! I was a freshman in high school! That song was in heavy rotation all over urban radio stations!! Then the video came out! Rick James and Smokey Robinson were so Cool!! A very talented Musician, Composer, Arranger, and Producer!! Motown was still pushing out Rick James projects!! Unfortunately after an argument in 1982 according to his former manager Kerry Gordy, with then Motown President Jay Lasker, Motown stopped promoting Rick James's music less and less!! His last successful project was this album "Cold Blooded." "Ebony Eyes" was on that album. Back then Rick James was clean and clear! If he was dabbling in drugs, it surely didn't show in the quality of the music, he was making! Smokey Robinson's melodic tenor voice was smooth as silk!! A perfect combination!! No matter what he did when he was alive...Rick James went down as a musical genius and innovator!! Rest In Peace, James Ambrose Johnson Jr. (February 1, 1948 - August 6, 2004)
Rick James was extremely talented writer and producer. He was a musical genius and to deny him of that title is a crime. Loved his voice and passion he brought to his music. Rick and Smokey sounded beautiful together. I will forever love them for this beautiful love ballad.
I said the same thing @Papi.pharaoh. These are two Artist Extraordinaire.’ This was real music and Rick James was definitely a talented musical genius as you said, and I agree📣🤎
Damn time has flown by. I remember when I first got this album back in 83!! It still holds the test of time. These cats were originals: Michael Jackson, Prince and Rick James, no one will ever compare to these cats!!
In 2002 I was doing security at a Rick James concert. He made a point to talk to all of the staff afterwards to thank us for doing our jobs so well. He had a large entourage of family traveling with him. I know he was older; but he was such a class act & nothing like what the media portrayed.
The media tends to prefabricate things of how a person really is.My take on Rick James is he's a realist and not pretentious.He was always one to say what comes to mind and played by his own rules,yeah alot was self destructive but at the same time he wasn't trying to be no ones puppet.
Rick James has been reduced to a comedian. He is and will always be an award winning singing, acting, producer. There was a time everything he touched turned to gold.
@@sergiojuarez584 Exactly. For my generation, his appearance on Dave's show made him relevant again. Now that I'm older, I go back and study his music. But "I'm Rick James bitch!!" will always be apart of my childhood 😂

Vocally, Fire & Desire was a pretty good song for him, but this one blew me away. He holds his own against the velvet voice of Smokey. Too bad they never sung together again.
Really, makes you wonder who are the idiots who disliked this video/music. Music these days should not be privileged to be called music unlike songs in the 70's-80's and early 90's
im just discovering music and you have no idea how pissed off i am knowing that there actually was a better "quality" to just about everything and im a youngster its like whos fault is this why did "standards" drop so low......this was an era when music videos actually had substance and production was actually thoroughly used in them......now even with million dollar budgets kanye cant even use a merci in his merci music video when budgets are used to show off cars and lavish lifestyles it makes me sick to think thats what sells
I can't agree with this comment. I don't think there's a real dip in quality. It's just that we tend to remember the good songs of an era and forget the bad ones as time goes on. That, and it's easier to get access to bad music so we hear more of it. There's certainly been a lot of bad acts from the past too.
Rick and Smokey had no idea what they had done to us when this came out. True classic love song. Thank you for the love you both put in all the music you've made. God bless you Smokey and RIP Rick.
