[prophetbyronmotley]

Rick James was a BAD MOTHER....watch yo mouth!!!!

[STLFOOLISH]

[AndrewsOpinion15]

DAMN I MISS RICK JAMES GOD PLEASE GIVE US BACK RICK JAMES IN RETURN WILL GIVE U CHRIS BROWN !!!!!!

[dabeesta17]

@2:16 "Hughes himself".......who is Hughes?

[Secruss]

To the top two, it's perfectly fine.

Bach's still kicking around, bicentennial age be damned.

[jlmmiranda]

Essa música arrebenta. Até hoje é muito legal.

[gonzaleserlinda8]

I still love this song, as if I'm still in my teen years, way to go Rick to bring us to the floor.

[tvgator1]

Do you have the rest of these? I remember these, and they went back to 1961 and up to 1979

[usaearthling]

Awesome video and a great blast from the past. Thanks for sharing.

[billyripp]

Thumbs up to the 70's babies.

[peacefulblonde39]

Am I the only one that despises the times we live in? I wish it was 1965...

[peacefulblonde39]

I cant believe I am 40 !!!! Damn...

[naraa123]

why do people dislike this video.

[Laerciodj]

WOW !!! Remember the time!!!

That´s the song I like it.

GET UP AND SHAKE YOUR BONE.

[AugustusLarch]

Awesome video. You should do this professionally.

[izzuag]

A Era Disco foi a melhor!

[MsMedford]

this song came out the year i was born 78. no wonder im old skool and love funk. :)

[jeezygurloneluv]

i cant believe im 21

[ohmaryjane]

@jeezygurloneluv Times flies. You will get older too. Believe me.

[rnantista]

I can't believe this song doesn’t have more hits. This was Rick's first hit. All I know is that the freak was out (the dance) and when this song was out the dance floor was full.

[julybaby2691]

we know how old u r :)

[longfootbuddy]

i cant believe im...im not telling you my age!

[siquirres77]

I cant believe I'm 43. LOL!!!

[BiZmOeT]

FUCK VEVO

[JJTAMF]

I cant believe its not butter

[diggleb]

I see nothing has really changed globally!

[425563]

I cant believe I'm 16

[20lagg]

Oh my gosh! Brooke Shields was only 13 on this video. Beautiful as usual. Did anyone see? She appears at 1:36

[evolnieveilebi]

Mojo 100.3 in Cincinnati plays this song probably a few times a day every day. The beginning of this song seems misleading to how wicked this song boogies. And I loe this "time-capsule" video. Love it.

[paconot]

WHOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEE.. This is my dam jam after all of these years!!!!

[la9777]

Love it..

[xxxeMoforAday22xxx]

Whoever said white people couldn't dance are obviously younger than 30.

[ceenyb]

I hate to admit it; but I saw Rick James perform this song on Soul Train. He was the best, and both of my boys grew up on funk. I had the tape cassettes (yes, it was that long ago) and my oldest would play my music for his friends; soon all my tapes disappeared. Thanks for sharing!

[JerseyGirl1121]

One of my all time favorites!

[gdub520]

man, i was about 10 i guess when this caame out....1st song i ever heard by rick...great song...the man was really a talent, its ashame that he lived sooo hard

[mstnixon]

WELL, IM 19 AND I LOVE THIS SONG, I LOVE ALL THE OLDIES, MY DAD RAISED ME ON IT, CAMEO, THE GAP BAND, RICK JAMES, CON FUNK SHUN, MORRIS DAY & THE TIME, THE OHIO PLAYERS, ECT. I LOVE IT!

[DaveWollenberg]

1 'Punk funk' hater, here,wouldn't ya know it! Billboard's #76 song of '78. James A. Johnson hit #1 soul, #13 pop in Billboard. God bless! RIP, Rick!

[MrNasimahmed]

[carmelhottie1]

[rickames]

@qqrk1372 Please forgive me, I delt with him. I have to go through all of my accounts with people who know me on youtube & explain this Immature fool what he done to you. Please except my appology. I DIDN'T SEND THOSE LAST FEW E-MAILS TO YOU. I read your comments to reply, i'm not upset in fact thankyou for not going off. It does matter what people think, i'm carefull of what i say & do. I also noticed he deleted comments, hoping i wouldn't find out. Once againn, please e-mail me ok

[missrocky14]

I WAS 8 AND KNEW ALL THE WORDS...

[jetteblacke]

until the 6 is 9...... yessss Rick baby!!!

[Kellogs43able]

i was 11 when this song was popular....god, i'm old...

[MrNuke2010]

classic

[ainsleywainsley]

@rickames Youre Rick Ames NOT RICK JAMES BITCH!!!!!! stop trying to impersonate such a legend you've never fucked as many women as him not even close so get your own identity buddy

[rickames]

@ainsleywainsley Not impersonating Rick James, just admiring him. I don't know if you were using the word bitch at me or just going with the flow. My identity is a man is comfortable to be who i am & i don't tolerate ignorant people. I like to have fun, & that's what i am going to continue to do, BITCH!.

[qqrk1372]

@rickames TSK TSK Such language from a "good Christian" like yourself??? Why not just turn the other cheek and say a prayer for me? Guess you didn't think of that Mr. Community College. Glad I'm not getting under your skin. God be with you. ;-)

[qqrk1372]

@rickames Who are Bruce and Tapac??? (Just wondering.)

[qqrk1372]

@rickames Why would Bruce Lee, who was NOT in the music industry, be concerned with how much money Michael Jackson is making???

[qqrk1372]

@rickames Oh, I have plenty better to do with my time. But busting the chops of douches like you is an added pleasure! TTFN

[rickames]

@qqrk1372 PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!! I DID NOT SEND YOU THOSE LAST FEW POSTS. My cousin who is 17 who calls me uncle comes by our home & use the computer. I swear the last e-mail i sent to you was when I mentioned Bruce Lee, & 2 pac. I ended it with quesioned answered. I DELT WITH HIM, I swear this is true. I looked at your webpage, & i didn't know you were a woman. So as far as the vibrator, or other comments, I'm SO, SO, SORRY. My computer is off limits to all releatives & their children. Please

[whitesongs73]

damm so much time has gone by and I remember all this as if it were yesterday. I was very young but I still remember the events of that year

[juarez1629]

.... na moral...

[FireCaptE9]

Reminds me of free beer night at Doc's Rock Shop partying with the babes from Brendle's...

[renedelafuente123]

I went to high school with a classmate and his father was pretty talented performer and abused cocaine. So did the classmate. He would tell me "a rich man's high and a poor man's dream". Bullshit! 20 years later I see him panhandling in a small town.. NOt to say everyone is like that, but you never know

[directorwvp2]

that song so hits the saweeet spot. Reminds of 40 in Bermuda.

[thaijuan14]

Hehe...L 7 square baby

[chrisnewcastle61]

this may be unpopular to say - but in my opinion Rick was at his best in the first 3 albums and You & I is his best track of all. There. I said it.

[bsbungie]

Nobody is putting down Rick James - this video is playing his song from '78 and also showing the events around the world at the time as well. I think it's pretty well done. Rick James, RIP brutha

[derrick41999]

Cool idea. I remember the day I first heard this song. I was ten and I was at school. RIP Rick.

[pgs5719]

This is not the original music video...made up by some idiot that is putting down Rick James.

[wateryskipper]

what is it with the scenes in Iraq in this video. it doesn't make sense....

[dbookin]

Take it from someone who was around when this song came out. The scenes are from what was going on in the world at the time the song came out

[reflections209]

abcp beezy we peezys

[reflections209]

this shyt is hard

[ninjaitsu2]

This video show me how shitty we people can be. Instead of doing the right thing . And do not blame me for telling the true,That is the way that olders told us.

[ServeTruth2u]

Im 41. I was a very chubby kid dancing to this. lol lol

[compactcasette]

Love this video. Remind me of an old TV show called The Rock & Roll Years.

[ujmi]

was it me or is there really a chant in start of "down with Islam" ?

[krillin876]

They are saying down with the Shah not down with islam

[ujmi]

oh! thanks krillin876.

[DeeJayMontevideo]

Excellent video

[StylesP1987]

Love the video, like a comment earlier, it's a good history lesson :D

[tanyatmr]

OMG, I can't believe this song is 31 years old....wow time is flying by so fast!!!

[wlh1us]

i cant believe im 50

[tanyatmr]

Wow, I was 12 when it came out and you were 19, doesn't it seem like this song just came out yesterday?

[skioet]

[EasilyWowed]

[adamtheham]

@tanyatmr "cocaine is a hell of a drug"

[ampat71]

@tanyatmr I cannot believe I'm 31!  I'm the same age as this song!

[zeplove19]

i remember all that... i was six back then...i remember...

[view4evah]

Excellent video with a history lesson!

[dcddjc]

That there's an afterlife when we die, it's with you and I

YOU AND I - and so _ucking love you baby!

[wlh1us]

there is the afterlife,then you get a new life if you were good in the last one, otherwise you come back as a pig, lol

[mlbm13]

FAIL

[JaySkulk]

The video just show what was going on in the world in 1978 when this song came out. Since you all haven't traveled outside of your village, you wouldn't understand. I was in Italy back then and I have traveled the world. Do it till you are satisfied Rick James. I sure did! :-0

[goindown71]

Great response JaySkulk. You are absolutely correct. I just couldn't dignify a response since I felt it to be so obvious.

[sampopular]

is this a Rick James music vid or is this a vid you made?

[Wingnut09X]

What the hell it the concept of this vid. cuz i dont get it

[TheMdharris]

[PROBEMANTIC]

Greetings from the UK! Old vinyl never dies, it just warps!! Super track, Ex Funky Fairy!

[grb20690]

Great song, music was better in the 70s and 80s compared to the shit/garbage music today.

[steelcross101]

especially dumb ass rap, they dont know how to read write arrange just bunch little convicts

[grb20690]

yh most sample classic songs

[jasonputang]

All of them?

[kcasperpdx]

Definitely an interesting vignette of the 70's.

[62reasons]

BUFFALO, NY's - phenominal export to MOTOWN straight across Lake Erie and up the Detroit River a wee bit!

Despite his bad raps, he contributed greatly to North American funk, soul and R&B.

[pk06511]

REAL NICE VIDEOS

[dbd1353]

[Iamanathlete]

'till the 6 is 9'

[catejune17]

They all can go to hell, I've lived my life on that lyric, I loved Rick James.

[keychaoodotcom]

thanks for including my president as one of Africa s 'big boy' yeah likedat!!!

[RCmack]

Wow! Yet another classic '70's song I had totally forgotten about.

The video is great, too. It brings back memnories of Jimmy Carter, the Shah of Iran, and the two dollar bill.

The two dollar bill!! Oh my, those were the days!!!!!!

[AfricanDestro]

Can somebody please tell me where I can find the whole clip of the white guy dancing at 1:50. That is very funny to me.

[cbarnes71]

I wish I could find that clip, It's the reason I saved it to my favorites! He is CRANKING it!

[jazzyfayy1983]
