Rick James & Smokey Robinson "Ebony Eyes"

[DaveWollenberg]

This slow jam you'd expect more from Smokey, than from Rick.

[TheMichellyMarques]

[lelobm]

the music starts at 2'33''

[Spacebuddhist]

The 42 people that "Disliked" this song are most likely people who will grow up thinking that it doesn't get any better than Justin Bieber. Sad.

[womanwithpower]

@Spacebuddhist lol I like what u said that is so true i luv this song, it brings back so many memories.

[jazzyboo2791]

GREAT SONG!!! There will never be another one like this. These new artist don't know anything about great love songs

[HearNSee1]

Music for all time!! A Classic that is still beautiful lyrically and visually!! Miss U Rick...Fantastic collabo with these 2~~ Now this is a real collaboration musically......smh, the new artist need to take notes!! WOW, what a drastic difference in old and new school...

[16ggs]

[outthetrunkfilms]

Rick James was a motherfuckin "Rock Star" there will never be another one like him. The emotion that this song brings out of me says it all. One of the best that ever did it period.

[themanfromdc]

[millyjeezay]

@3:51 Rick is so freakin epic.........RIP

[DaveWollenberg]

Smokey was the master of the slow jam. Rick wasn't all that much known for it. Rick's only appearance on the Billboard AC chart.

[mackg68]

@DaveWollenberg Have you ever hear od Fire and Desire? Rick James and Tina Marie!

[xratedjdub]

definitely one of the greatest songs of all time

[chikkengreece06]

only rick james could afford these high production music films(not videos lol)

[theCLcritic]

Rick took some great blow and thought he was stranded on an island with Smokey. That is by far the best idea of any song video.

[jhpvids]

@theCLcritic

very funny

[phillipchrum]

this takes me back what a great song and the background singers are awesome and what a duet and yea we ll give you bieber even if rick doesnt come back

[MrOrionfan]

@phillipchrum This song still tears me up to hear it - such beautiful notes and strong vocals!!!! Reminds me of Dixie Electric Club in Charlotte, NC!

[doc2skate]

When I first heard Rick James sing "Mary Jane" back in '78 I thought "This guy is a one hit wonder". Then one dayI took a long drive to Santa Maria and listened to the entire cassette "Come Get It". After that, I got it.

[ATLGETREADY4ME]

@doc2skate lol i know that`s right but you know somethin that is hilarious, my aunt just told me that for the past 30 some odd yrs. she thought the song "mary jane" was about a girl WOW!!!!!!!! LOL OMG!!!!!

[GGGHALOUNIT]

Saluting 2 Grandmasters cause their Ku Fung Strong! :)

[MsPrettySmile26]

And Silk's remake of this is good also. They can sang too. I miss the old music.

[MsPrettySmile26]

[ProblemTheMostHated]

@DangerSteve YEs....there was SOOO much Awesomeness on that Particular Vehicle.

[nelliegirl13]

[DaveWollenberg]

[MrJimile]

[Lu70sChild80sFan]
