[lilmissbayby122]

fire and desire feeling good to my lol this is a great song and them dumbasses who disliked it must be deaf or just dumb

[29135bigboy]

i hear this song i always think of martin and gina  the episode they use this song when martin was feeling unappreciated

[AyYoMrPerfect]

When i first heard this i thought tina was black, cut the fuck outta me, so sad to see a voice like that go

[sbville]

Great classic.

[animeboy4754]

im glad im from buffalo,ny like rick james

[anydazecoo]

This song is just gorgeous, And i bet it ment a lot to them since they were great friends.

[DullardGuy]

@anydazecoo he was fucking her when they made street songs! she said it. she also said he kept on fucking her when they sang once and future dream.

[32Sheeka]

I love this song sooooo much

[livingdollshoppe]

THE GREATEST,MOST SOULFUL DUET IN HISTORY!!! PERIOD!!!! THE 52 HATERS ARE SOULLESS,LOVELESS NONE HUMANS!!!

[6tinachris]

they sung the mess out of this sang

[whoiscarlito]

I still get chills listening to this.

[IN2HIM2]

these comments are good, I LOVE THIS GROWN TALK!!

[sheszxamazingqx3]

this man gets deep

[FireitupBedford]

@sheszxamazingqx3 Rick geta deep on a song called 'Do U wanna Play feat Howard Hewett and Johnny Gill...

[MrPierce5]

0:00 - 0:52 (old school pimp talk) then, proceed to break her down

"remember when I used to.. LOOOOOOOOVE them.and.leave theeeemm.. thats. what.I USED. to do."

[nyshaquana]

This song make me think of the only person that, I had true loved for. Smitty, I hope you see this. North Carolina. I now understand that you, made a commitment to someone else. It, still hurts after, 30 years.

[teloztelo]

was that nigga gay or some?

[Leo55BabyBoomer]

I'm 6'5" and all that. This was one of my favorite "back breaking" songs. I couldn't get enough of those 5'2" "candy canes" on the dance floor. Thanks Rick and Teena for making music big guys could slow drag to.

[skybabe1959]

I don't think there was another song that made me feel this way, I waited for it all night in the club! Her voice is off the hook....

[leroylongoria1]

dam i miss the lady.s that were low and slow....the ones that we share our times together...now are fast..they don"t now what true low ,slow love is......but i will wait..till then i dream....

[Mslady601]

Fire & Desire!!!!

[dmobile2go]

One of the greatest duets ever!

[MsBossy947]

My fav song

[npgfunk]

One of the greatest ballads of all time. Makes me sad that they both are gone now. Possibly Rick's best song overall

[FireitupBedford]

@npgfunk I don't know I rank Stormy Love and When Love Is Gone...

[npgfunk]

@FireitupBedford Ebony Eyes is better than both of those.

[FireitupBedford]

@npgfunk My personal top 5 Rick James Ballads are

1. When Love Is Gone

2. Big Day

3. Fire and Desire

4. Ebony Eyes

5. and a tie between Do You Wanna Play and Summer Love

[npgfunk]

@FireitupBedford GOod list - I would have to get Island Lady and Guinevere in there

[FireitupBedford]

@npgfunk Those are some good ones to. I don't think Rick made a ballad that I didn't like. Oh What a Night, Hot Summer Nights, Slow and Easy, Happy I could go on but you get the idea...

[KingDre59]

@FireitupBedford when the love is gone tops em all...but the best of all time is outta superfreak and mary jane

[FireitupBedford]

@KingDre59 I feel ya. One of my all time Rick James jams wasn't even a hit. It's called Melody Make Me Dance off the Glow album...

[FireitupBedford]

@KingDre59 Plus I don't think Rick ever made a song that I don't like but that's just me...

[IzzytheApocalypse]

@npgfunk Damn you. You just had to remind me that they are both gone. But your comment is correct to the "T"

[TheJaniece22]

Love this song this reminds me of Martin in Gina when they were sing this song

[TheJaniece22]

What!!! 50 dislikes yall trippin this is music rite here love this song RIP Rick James and Teena Marie miss you both

[FireitupBedford]

@TheJaniece22 50 people who dislike this yet they come in here anyway. One thing I can say if I don't like something I'm surely not gonna go to it. People like that are very funny to me...lol

[218coolbreeze]

the lovers national anthem hands down turn the lights down and grind it out if you never had none on this jam you never made love!

[FireitupBedford]

@218coolbreeze Couldn't have said that any better...

[Daddyo930]

There's 50 people who can't get down with some help and a step ladder. They also look like they're being tazed when they dance.

[MrChristopherPriest]

oh yes!

[misscandielove69]

I'm Rick James in this song! Now I search the world for the perfect love, which doesn't exist....Shame on me...

[Cinav1]

this is real music

[AlloftheAbuv]

When Teena Marie get to screamin I lose it, I either cry or start screamin wit her.

[AlloftheAbuv]

I don't even look at the dislike bar to see how many dislikes there are.. I mean why bother??!!

[AlloftheAbuv]

Damn this came out the year I was born but next to Prince's adore this is my favorite love song of all time!!

[TheBreezygal707]

Damn They were Musical Soulmatez.... I LOVE IT!!!!

[MalikAliKhan]

Teena Marie is white??!!!

[LADreamsandChaiTea]

@MalikAliKhan LOL yes she is. But she's a white woman who had soul lol

[wrmcfadden]

@MalikAliKhan You don't have a clue. Back in the day for a white girl to over and make the inpact that she made was un heard of. noly could she sing, but she carried herself with class. What white have to do with it

[BLUMAJ1K6]

@wrmcfadden If you knew the history of the two you would know that her and rick used the "white" on a regular basis.. I'm just saying!!!

[FireitupBedford]

@BLUMAJ1K6 Holla...

[Dreaded1DeSean]

50 people are cold as ice

[1luvkiki]

Teena Marie was the baddest white Rand B singer in the history of R and B thus far! she will never be matched! Mariah, you can try but you will never meet that match!

[1luvkiki]

I still think about my first love whenever I hear this song. Yes, I am a 70's baby and this song makes me cry when I hear it; even more so since Rick and Teena are both gone from this world.

[muddyfuckle]

Total class

[muddyfuckle]

total class

[fredeo63]

One of the best classic black love songs of all time. The artists of today need to take notes, listen, and see how it should be done.

[chezzy4luciano]

it's sad that they are both deceased these two together were a beast...

[gacleveland]

This is the REAL DEAL MO-FOs,this aint kid stuff!!

[tbx008]

[ThatsSoAshes]

This song is the shit.. always has been.. I'm 23 and love this kind of music. Its when music was REAL.

[cakafella]

i remember laying in my room at 12 years old with those big ass sweaty head phones on and when he hit that looooove them and leave them...that shit sent chills through my spine.

[ThizzGurl2Dope]

[ThizzGurl2Dope]

[larrydonjackson]

[loveblackbeauty67]

THIS SONG IS A CLASSIC!!!

[BANGSTRUIN]

THERE'S 49 PEOPLE THAT BETTER PRAY WE NEVER MEET.

[FireitupBedford]

@BANGSTRUIN That's 50 people that's never had the Fire and Desire. Man they don't know what there missing...

[dorababyboy]

@FireitupBedford I agree that they don't know what there missing! Fire and Desire is a classic so whoever disliked this song is retarded. Once they get the fire and desire they won't dislike it when Teena Marie hits that high note!

[FireitupBedford]

@dorababyboy No dought...

[dorababyboy]

@FireitupBedford whoever disliked this song must be youngings who don't know nothin bout good classic music and it's sad!

[lilmissbayby122]

@FireitupBedford im with u on that one those fifty people are the dumbest people that i dont wanna meet and when they get fire and desire they aint gone know it.

yall we gone pray for these muthafuckas

[gilesjason10]

[trinbajam]

@BANGSTRUIN I'll will help you break out my special reserve bottle of "Chateau de Whoop-Ass" for the occasion ;-)

[tiffy4552]

@BANGSTRUIN i know thats right! its fifty now

[osirisani]

@BANGSTRUIN They're probably in the Taliban

[00ghostcobra]

@BANGSTRUIN Sincerely, I need to talk to one of the people that do not like this song and find out why.  Cause it just doesn't make since to me..

[BANGSTRUIN]

@00ghostcobra This generation is so far removed from good music they don't know a real classic when it's on.

[jrayortiz1]

@BANGSTRUIN I would love to cross paths with those fools u and me both

[coolbag68]

This is the best i remember it when it came out and I love to listen to it now RIP Tenna and Rick!!!!!

[shirleysmall]

[SuperBanger2011]

48 ppl needs to be punched there have no soul and no love for the oldies

[westside159]

[MyMissizzy]

Even though i'm about a teenager i love Rick James and all of his hit singles including this one because its so calming and whenever you get mad you can just listen to this and you will calm down.

[tremaineification]

sugaa sugaa sugaa lol

[tremaineification]

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[janna658]

IOVE THIS SONG IT MAKES ME THINK OF THE OLD DAYZ

[BertrandRhodes]

I remember when I first heard this song on the radio in the summer of 1981 and was completely spell-bound....and still am today 30 years later when I hear this song....truly amazing.

[BertrandRhodes]

Now that white girl had soul and could sang her ass off!! Rick could blow too....this song is probably the best example of his talent as a vocalist. But dang Teena is hitting those notes and making me come to attention...my goodness baby... so much emotion and passion...unbelievable. Thanks for posting

[NYMDgirl2u]

47 people need to be punched in the faces!!!! Let me do it please!!! SMH!!!

[OriginalMosThaTyme]

@CHRISTIANSMOMMIE2009 .youtube.com/watch?v=HgTO9Eds0­9Q

[GOOSIEPRODS]

i love dis song..r.i.p Rick James & Teena Marie

[chocolatecuban]

Stephanie Ferret did a wonderful cover to this song in a Play written By Tyler Perry. Not Teena but the best I have heard since then. Check her out.

[jrayortiz1]

this jam is timeless

[muyEXPLICIT]

for some strange reason , i was singing this in homeroom today !

[31makiahkiah]

@muyEXPLICIT I was humming it in 7th period. I could wait til school was out to listen to it.

[mysterytrax]

LEGENDS never die....only become more refined and sweeter with time. People grooved to these romantic slow jams and were on the same page. I'd trade in all of the computers,cell phones, technology to live again for just 1 year in a world influenced by great songwriters and artists who knew how to deliver the goods. This was the SHIT.

Thanks for the memories FireitupBedford

[MrUCme64]

@mysterytrax Your right about that I couldn't have said it any better. FireitupBedford man you have a slammin channel. All of Rick's music up there and alot of stuff I've never even heard. I don't know how you got your hands on some of that unrelease Rick but thanks for sharing it.

[TheMsbosschick100]

[Keddria]
