Here's a bit of trivia. Can anybody identify the make, model and year of the car the bearded dude is driving? If you answer correctly, you win a replay. Help yourself!
yeah..LUCKY Rickie...she had NOTHING to do with the success at all, it was lucky she got to work with them, HA HA HA! Can you hear the sarcasm??? They are virtually UNKNOWN and without her wouldn't have the wee bit of recognition that they do have.
I saw her in Pittsburgh in 79. Front Row seats given to me by my boyfriends ex girlfriend. How fitting. It was amazing. She sat on the stage right in front of me and told stories and did Easy Money. Man O Man those were the days eh?
I keep catching my eye on that mouth of hers - very Joni Mitchell! - mix in a little Carly Simon and Laura Niro and that spooky lost highway. Top it off with patent RLJ bleary goofy synthetic rubber face-making that says "look out - i'm gonna get crazy on you" - and that's this girl's gumbo goin ON!
the city will make you dirty but you look alright,wow 30 years on and 2.30 in the morning this song is still tight thanx 4 putting this up lost childhood memories
i love rickie. she reminds me of the early laura nyro, especially this song. as for the video, gone are the days when you could swig bacardi 151 at your leisure while tooling around the town, acting like a tool, hoping some girl will latch onto your ... tool.
Thank you, all those who post Rickie Lee Jones. I haven't listened to her for a while, and seeing all of the video posts brought back a lifetime of memories, with RLJ music always there somewhere. No one's music makes me feel a rainbow of emotion like her.
I just fell in love with Rickie the very right moment I heard "Chuck E's in Love" on the radio airwaves.I just knew instantly that she'll become one of the greatest debuters singers ever...and I wasn't wrong.She won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist of 1979 and her debut album simply called "Rickie Lee Jones" has praised the most excellent critics among experts in the music business. For me that album is without a doubt one of the greatest female albums ever. A masterpiece.
Goodness, this song brings me back 25 years ago, walking in the rain, late at night in Los Gatos, California. Sweet memories. I love her voice, pure sweetness.
she is entirely beautiful and completely unaffected. i am still stumped as to why we have a general public that wants women to be like britney, christina, jessica and paris when women can be like this! she is stupendous!
RLJ is like the long suffering moll that you'd expect to find hanging with the likes of Kerouac, Mickey Rourke, Tom Waits and Jeff Buckley: Holding her own, cussing like a sailor & keeping a strait razor in her purse. All the while absorbing life, stories and influences that she would use to pour into songs and verse. I've always dug her style. She's not a sex kitten or pin-up worthy, but man, her music is really heavy and so cool.
Wow. I never even bothered to try imagining I could ever see the video to that one. I was way too young when that came out. I didn't even know there were music videos until about ten years later! Kinda feels like fulfilling a dream, or achieving a goal I didn't know I had...
She's the James Dean of music: effortlessly, naturally , ... she just IS cool.
Thanks for posting this song. Always loved Rickie Lee--she's a fabulous artist. This is my favorite song of hers. It's just so cool without even trying. Wish we had more wonderful music from her....
Stylish Ricki at her very best!!! This song just makes feel you feel good. Fell in love with her after seeing this...such a unique individual. Thanks for sharing one of the best songs ever. "here,here, looky here ya'll"
Clever pretty talented and I heard her say.. COOL..And I do love that voice....
