Here's some interesting facts about Rick James (James Ambrose Johnson, Jr. Born 2/1/1948) 1. Fantastic bass player 2. He was Melvin Franklin's cousin (a member of The Temptations). That's why that "Temptations sing!" was so important. 3. He used to be engaged to Teena Marie (try listening to her music too). For three weeks lol. 4. The bass line from "Superfreak" was used in "U Can't Touch This" by MC Hammer. Rick James was MAD because he wasn't listed as a sample and wanted to sue. 5. He was using some drugs- a song he wrote called "Mary Jane" was about his love for marijuana. It's in the movie Friday, when Chris Tucker (Smokey) was having fun while smoking weed on Craig's (Ice Cube) porch. 6. He spent some time in jail. Around 5 years. It got him off the drugs and he had a happy life and some children. 7. His last tour was with Teena Marie. They were recognized for singing their song "Fire and Desire" on the BET awards. He also quoted the famous Dave Chapelle line "I'm Rick James, b***h!" Unfortunately, he started having some health issues on tour that had to end early. 8. Rick James passed away on August 6, 2004 from a heart attack due to the drugs that were in his system over the years.

@elyssaberger5901

You left out why he was in jail, In 1991, James and his girlfriend Tanya Hijazi were accused of holding 24-year-old Frances Alley hostage for up to six days, tying her up, forcing her to perform sexual acts, and burning her legs and abdomen with the hot end of a crack cocaine pipe during a week-long cocaine binge. In 1993, while out on bail for that incident, James, under the influence of cocaine, assaulted music executive Mary Sauger at the St. James Club and Hotel in West Hollywood. Sauger claims she met James and Hijazi for a business meeting, but said the two then kidnapped and beat her over a 20-hour period. He was sentenced to 5 years in 1994 but only served 2. That was such a sad period in his life; the pain he caused those woman and others who grew up loving his funk now having to compartmentalize his music which lit up our generation from the damage he caused those woman due to his drug use.

Stephanie West I thought the same thing. But the I remembered they mention in one the videos that they grew up only listening to gospel music and rap So it sound like they ay have grew up listening to gospel in their home. And perhaps as they got older (like in their teens), they listened to rap. I do identify, because when I grew up, all my mom played was jazz and the blues. Then when I was a young teenager, I used to sleep over at my girlfriends house, and we’d listen to R&B on the radio. then when my parents moved from Compton, CA to Anaheim, CA (from going to school with majority black school to all white school), guess what I started listening to? Rock, Heavy Metal and Surfer (Beach Boys) music! As I grew into adulthood, I started listening to all kinds of music, including Country and Classical. Now in addition to loving so many genres of music, my favorite is gospel and Contemporary Christian! ❤️

They should’ve followed with Can’t Touch This

"Give it to me baby" is one of his greats.

Oh I LOVE some Rick James especially when he sang with the great Teena Marie. LOL he did look "Pimpish" and he also dated the actress Linda Blair.. The late, great Rick James. Some great "Old School" FUNK! Little tid bit, the Asian woman with the long hair in a pink top use to dance on Soul Train.

Rick James was dope! And I hear he was quite freaky. LOL!! Short story: years ago I was at a concert at Radio City Music Hall in NYC; I was sitting in an upper balcony. To my surprise Rick James was sitting behind me and someone pointed out he was there and the women went wild. It got so bad that his people had to pick him up and carry him out of that balcony. I shall never forget it. May Rick rest in Paradise.

Unfortunately for Rick, more cokesman than cocksman.... Much as I enjoyed hanging out with him, that was the reality.

I work in a dentist office, when this comes on, I will grab all the charts to put away so I can boogie down the hallway. I LOVED this when I was a kid and it came on MTV. Classic!

Y'all are just so refreshing!! I am a 60 yr old white woman, but you two have brought the music I listened to back in the day BACK into my life. Sometimes, while listening and watching I've actually had an emotional moment that included tears because the song you were playing brought back significant people who were in my life and significant times when my life may have been falling apart back then or even looking up. When you get a lot older, the same will happen to you. Music is a playlist of our lives......everything we did while those songs were hits comes flooding back like it was yesterday and all it takes is a song you are playing & there I am, 40 yrs ago, happy, sad and even grief at missing those who are no longer with me. I notice there are a lot of people out there doing what you are doing & I keep scrolling because I've seen the best & the freshest.....the first.....the TWINS. There are many who are copy cats. They are trying to ride your coat tails!! I am disabled with a 29 yr old disabled son and you bring so much to us that has made our days brighter, & sometimes has us cracking up! PLEASE KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!! IT GOES BEYOND SAMPLING MUSIC.....IT PUTS A SMILE ON OUR FACES, IT BRINGS A TREASURED MEMORY BACK TO OUR MINDS & HEARTS WHEN SOMETIMES MY MEMORY IS NOT SO GOOD ANYMORE. IT'S NOT JUST ENTERTAINMENT......YOU HELP RESTORE WHAT MANY OF US HAVE LOST SIMPLY THRU THE YEARS THAT HAVE GONE BY. YOU BOTH ARE A BLESSING. I WISH & PRAY THAT YOUR LIVES PROSPER FAR BEYOND YOUR EXPECTATIONS AND I KNOW IF Y'ALL HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WILL HAPPEN. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!

Seriously, you have to listen to his girlfriend at that time Teena Marie. Preferably the first 3 albums. And their duet Fire and Desire is fantastic.

I believe Mr. James is a very underrated bassist, composer, and vocalist. His voice in Fire and Ice with Teena Marie put him on my short list of favorite vocalists of all time. In addition to, a duet he did in the 80s with Smokey Robinsin... I can't remember the name of it...I ADORE the part after Smokey finishes a solo part then Rick continues with his part.... the first couple of stanzas, he perfectly mimicked Smokey's voice.
