Could those bitching and moaning about the title and what it is or isn't just back the truck up? It doesn't matter at this point. The video AND the song are both gorgeous. Do I have to act it out for you with Crayolas and sock puppets?
this is a great song and a great video and i am very happy you posted this because i have never heard it!!! thank you soso much! teena was at her best singing with rick-they are both greatly missed. thanks again for posting!!!
I was 5 yrs old when I heard you sing... I knew your voice was one of my favorites and even though I wish you were here, It would be selfish to keep you from God any longer. I love you and that will never change, I love you - Lady T
R.I.P. lady t, you are the true sister girl of R&B music, i am truly going to miss you but you will never be forgotten. may god look out for your family and they have my deepest respect & all my love. girl you will always be the best. 12-27-10
1 of my very favorite songs of all time,by the very underrated,beautiful,soulful Teena Marie & my other idol (RICK JAMES),my other idol is STEVIE WONDER! Teena when you see rick up there in Heaven,tell him we miss him, as we will now miss you. I pray for Teena's family,close friends & fans. I cry because i"m happy you shared your gift with us!
The song HAPPY is RIGHT UP THERE with Fire and Desire in the Chi.......Teena Marie is Rick James protegée. She grew up in the African American neighborhood on the Westside of (Oakwood) Los Angelos. She was singing Harry Belafonte songs at the age of 2.
What crap! You needed to upload the full version of this song. The part where the soul comes out of Teena Marie after the "You go to my heeeaaaaad babeeeeee! Can I bring you down and talk to you a while....can I talk to you woman can I talk to you." When were making love under the stars above.....kissing you all over from you head to your toes!
@DullardGuy - LOL!! You know what's up! Fire and Desire was the jam BUT 'HAPPY' OuuuuuWeee! ppl wouldn't be so upset over a title if they were actually up on this jam.
@DullardGuy - I have to admit off the top of my head, "NOTHING" ....LOL!! but thanks for the pull up, Being that I am a music junkie.....I will be checking that out. PEACE
RICK JAMES LIVES !!!! CHECK OUT THE ORIGINAL STONE CITY BAND . yes on utube . (R2) RANDALL homie sold me my tv at best buy in victorville calif. no lie this guy is GREAT!!!! freddie from big bear calif
@ILIGANO I know you are begging for a response & attention,but the lady has'nt even been deceased 24hrs,why don't you try & show some respect?! She has friends.family & fans on here,what if that were your mother,sister,auntie? Man go somewhere & play,& let us Rick james & Teena Marie fans pay our respects & share our memories.
This is not Fire And Desire, it's Happy. No big deal though, still one of their great songs together. ILIGANO you must have been rejected by Teena Marie at some point in your life. Your a sad person. Teena Marie is a great talent! hands down one of the greatest R&B vocalists ever.
Fuck rick James if he thought this static on the jukebox was music! Tina just yells like a pima indian on dust... sounds like a indian radio station! haaaeaaahaaaahhh! Fuck Tina!! Tint Tim could outsing THAT greasy assed whore!
@ILIGANO -"It's obvious tht U have no respect so let me give ya some,"IT'S NOT POLITE TO SPEAK ILL OF THE DEAD! SPEAKING ILL OF THEM GONE OVER WILL ONLY BRING HEARTACHE, HELL AND MORE TO UR LIFE SO STFU OR GET OFF YOUTUBE!"
Tina has sold Z E R O units in the last two years... look to the RIAA website... She is a slut. I hate to have my radio on, and have suddenly the screech of this mega wanna be nobody. As for me... I am a member of the 100% of people who wish we could get rid of this ugly assed tub of lard. She has been offered a contract by the worlds biggest co! As a Greeter at a Walmart in Alabama... $7.25 an hour!! Get that money tina!
What is wrong with you...rick james said it himself that teena marie is the greatest r&b singer to ever hit the stage and she's white!! You don't even spell her name right and god does'nt like ugly...
@ILIGAYNO tina is a beautiful singer and female, u are just 1 jealous son of a bitch, her singing is truely beautiful i just wish i had words to xplain, she touches my heart and u got no right to talk down on her unless ur better which i doubt
@ILIGANO Wow...!!All i can say is "get professional help" luv...coz there's SUMMAT goin on wit choo...an it aint 'good'!!I hope you manage to get it sorted...it's awful to see/hear/read someone with such negativity pervading them!!Good luck...fo real!!
TINA !! OMG. This skank must have likked ricks asshole, coz she sings like a fucking cat in heat! Screeching and making irritating noise is not singing, what was this bitch... a gypsy yodeler?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I LOVE Good MUSIC but TINA Got a ride with Rick, if you liked Rick, and I did, you got STUCK with this no talent, screaming bitch!!! ONG I would rust to turn down her part when I had rick on, and so did all my friends. Tina Maria is another Tiffany! Useless, no talent, and to fucking dumb to realize she is being laffed at everytime she picks up a mic. In her doped up mind, she things she is doing the world a favor, but the joke is on this hook nosed cocksucker, and I hope she has a nice funeral
If it is true that "Tina got a ride with Rick" why is she still a recording artist? Why wouldn't her music fade away, if she couldn't stand on her own? If you don't like her, fine, but at least your opinion isn't the only one that matters. As for her having "a nice funeral" that is ridiculous...how can you denouce someone? What does that say about you?
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
this song was a hearTjerker chroniclized an era of swagger mastery of style and soul . THESE TWO WERE AWESOME TOGTHER WISH THERE WAS MUSIC STIL lIKE THIS
The world becomes a bit better every time I hear that someone is still listening to Slick Rick " all the time ".His songs are timeless masterpieces. RIP
It would help everyone if some people would READ the title or maybe the "About This Video" section. It clearly states the song's title as "Happy" and NOT "Fire and Desire". This is an answer video to "Fire and Desire".
i cant believe that he is gone. these days will never come back. i love this song with the snapshots. it takes me back to a special moments in time. thanks rick and teena for being a bookmark in my life.
I feel ya. I was so glad to have known Rick as a person. A side of him that alot of people didn't get to see. But he will forever live though his music that he gave to us. Go check out his website rickjames dot com
