What a powerful Jam....Rick WAS the man....but his powerful soul will be alive for ever. Also listen to the long version of "You and I" uploaded by crad805oldschool on Apr 23, 2009. If you like super disco remixes also look for Dimitri of Paris mixes like "I love music, " and several featuring Teddy Pendergrass and the Blue Notes, and many others....they will blow you little minds!!!!
@teerakito That You and I track is just the album version. If you really wanna hear something funky then listen to the 11 mite version of Big Time extended. Hell it took them 30 years to release that version...
They called him "The King Of Punk Funk." Actually, he called himself that, and others followed his lead. In fact, that was his career. He led, (many) others followed and partied with him. And party he did. Like no other. Probably still partying. Hope so. This ain't much of a video, but the song ROCKS. But then, I expect nothing less from Rick James. "Party baby."
Rick came to my 3rd grade class in Buffalo, NY at P.S. 53.....he attended this elementary school. Levi Ruffin (his keyboard player) has a son named Trevor (who played in the NBA) and was one of my childhood friends (and Rick's God son). This was in the 70s right after Bustin Out and Fire & Desire came out. He was SO cool.
Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, then your going crazy like the World we live in... Get your Funk On SLICK RICK!!!!!
He smiled at me with a doll and fatigue face but with great light in his eyes and said to my friend "Lisa? where this girl came from?" I Love her already…So He told me that this Jam was one of his favorite song he wrote ever… I smiled back and the rest is history. I Miss U Rick.. And Our Longest Conversations we had during our friendship. May U Rest In peace Cuz I Know...
@djalexia I feel ya. One of my biggest memories was when Val Young gave Rick my phone number and never thinking he would really call one day the phone rang and I answered it and I knew who it was soon as he started talking and the whole 30 minutes I was on the phone with him I walked around the house the whole time saying no one is gonna believe this NO ONE that's why I never go around telling anyone..lol
@djalexia Another memory was when I first met him I was like in aww the whole time..lol I took a pic of him and my daughter back in 2002 when she was only 9 then.The pic is on the song Glow 12 inch version I have on here...
I still have vivid memories from an evening in 98 at the Cedar Sinae Medical Center where for my very first time I was introduced to Rick while recovering from his first stroke a friend asked me;'RICK would Love You To Meet Ya" so I enter his private room in the Med center I started to sing a phrase of this song to Rick ,
Easily the greatest album cover of all time. Rick James dressed as a barbarian warrior, saving some damsel in distress with a sheild in his hand. So many drugs must have gone into the making of that cover. Beautiful.
Oh Yea, MR. RICK JAMES ( THE KING OF FUNK ) If I put on sum shiny red slippers and click em together 3 times , can sum 1 take me back to these good FUNKY times~~~ WOOOOOHH!!!!!!
What happen to the younger generation? Today's artist cannot touch this. Stay off of your cell phones, iphones, etc.,lol. Maybe you can at least make a pimple on his ass,lolololol.
@jetershomie Oh yes. This IS one of the funkiest things created by man. And, no, it can't be touched with a 30 foot pole. You got to get a 50 footer to even get close. :-) RICK JAMES! and his crew rock this. They ROCK this. Thanks for postin' it 'Bedford.
