[DRUMTOY2002]

Great post! Man, this is one of my favorite Rick James cuts! I remember seeing him perform this on Don Kirschners Rock Concert back in the day!

[FireitupBedford]

The one your talking about is on Rick's DVD...

[FanOfRickJames]

Yeah the only problem with the Don concerts was the lipsynching..

[2base]

that may have been a good thing

imma sample this here song

[BadNews88]

This LP (from 1980) shoulda been abit more popular than it was; Pundits opine it was 'too esoteric for the masses'.

Now, *IF* this jam woulda been released as a single (or mebbe "Summer Love", as well) the LP woulda been a considerable hit. "Big Time" was a good one, too...but lots of folks don't even *know* this jam...and UBER-MEGA-ULTRA-RAVE-FAVE of mine!

Thanx fer it, m8..

[FanOfRickJames]

Yes its out of print .actually it did not get a lot of airplay or production during that year .for some reason rick used it as a filler while he was working with the Stone City Band's album and while he was gearing up for Street Songs.

[dapharoah]

Why do this song have a similar sound to the Stevie Wonder's song "Do I Do"

[FireitupBedford]

I'm not sure maybe it's because Stevie did some background work on some of Rick's albums...

[rockjohnson80]

Did Motown take this album out of print? I have nevr seen it in stores.

[RickyMoss]
