@fireitbedford WOW what a beautiful picture it shows the sweet tender side of rick that a lot of people didn`t get to see your daughter is very lucky young lady i know beyond of a doubt If i was the lucky girl in the this picture right here, I would`ve went and got my teeth whitened and my ass woulda been CHEESING!!!! from here to California all the way to Buffalo LOL AND after i woulda passed out!!!!!
Rick...underappreciated as a songwriter..this is one of thsoe great songs, hich also show his vocal range, often not utlised on his funk anthems...what a great wasted talent...
This is such a romantic song. I love how smooth and creamy his voice is on the verses. I wonder if he know how beautiful his voice truly was. And these lyrics? It's genius - because you can just see guys mouthing the words to this to a cute girl in the club. Perfect dancing record - when he sings "Glow", the girls would do it!
this song was so underrated. it was a comeback song that didnt enough attention, but man it's a great great Rick James classic. i would put it on his greatest hits list for sure.
@truthdj The industry shut Rick - and Teena - out. Motown just couldn't compete in the 80s like they used to - and the industry decided to elevate Prince vs. Michael Jackson (and Quincy Jones admitted that he openly stole Ric's bass line for "Thriller" and "Let It Whip" by the Dazz Band for "Beat It".) And the industry (Illuminati) created the counterfeit Teena - which was Madonna. Then the industry shut out Teena by making a competition between Madonna and Cyndi Lauper.
@SmoothCinnamonX : Oh so true my friend. Oh so true. I try to have respect for what Madonna & Cyndi Lauper did, but neither one of them had the originality, style, & musicianship that Teena Marie had. Teena's style has, like Rick's, stood & will, stand the test of time. 1 Love.
F.B. thank you for posting this i have been looking for the full version of Glow for years!!!! I love the end the this song and it is one of his best songs!! Great pic with your daughter and the chief funkster!!!Thank you!
What an awesome way to remember him, great picture! I was barely a teenager when he was touring & my parents didn't understand why there 12-13 white daughter from Kentucky wanted to go see RICK JAMES! LOL! I can still sing along with all his songs, but barely remember what happened last month. RIP King of Punk Funk, my music collection would have been nothing without you in it!
@DonRafa1990 Thank you. Got to meet him in NC the first time and is was real cool. A month later he was in Philly with the Barkays and since I knew Val Young we stayed at the same Hotel with them and got to hang out with them. They had to leave out at 5 am the next morning going back to LA and when I went down to pay my bill and Rick took care of my bill. Go check out his bands new website theoriginalstonecityband dot com
@FireitupBedford That's a straight trip. The little girl looks like Teena Marie to me, as well. I wondered the same thing as soon as I saw the picture - if she was the daughter of Rick and Teena. LOL!!!!
An unknown gem of the King of Punk-Funk..... Rick your music will Glow, forever homie.... Much Love to you and the Stone City Band for putting down classic material!!!! We love you forever and a day!!!! RIP!!!
I remember back in 1997, I was driving from Atlanta to St. Louis. I was up in those smokey mountains in Chattanooga, at like 2:00 am. Real scary hills, drops and turns! I started dozing at the wheel & caught myself. I said "damn, I need 2 stop & get a large cup of coffee". And so I did, & when I got back on the road, this song came on & I was crusing 2 it feeling real energized & happy. When I got back home I bought the greatest hits package!
Thanks for posting this. I haven't heard the complete version of this song in so many years. I had it on 12" vinyl, too. I remember buying it at Woolworth's in downtown Tampa (long-gone now) Nice pic.
Line up: The Stone City Band & Slave They are also working on getting other artist. So go on out and show some love for Rick James (Stone City Band)trust me you won't be disappointed
Anyone in or around the Buffalo area the Stone City Band will be at Buffalo's Funkfest Aug 23, 2008 along with Slave at the LaSalle Park in Buffalo NY. It's been years since you guys have seen Rick's Stone City Band. Let me tell you I have heard these guys play not long ago and you won't be dissapointed The Stone City Band can still bring the funk just as hard today as they did back in the day...
Classic Slick Rick...the ending makes me cry...memories.
