What the fuck are they nominating for that award these days...

LMAO at Rick, he was the man. I just got a copy of his autobiography yesterday and I can't wait to read it.

Thanks for posting that. I remember watching this as a kid..You don't see stuff like this on TV anymore. This is when music was real music..Damn I miss Marvin.....and Donna Summer was f-i-n-e!

Abdul.....Rick's bio is in the bookstores?!!!

Indeed!! It shows you how much better our music was back then.The competition was FIERCE.All of those ladies released outstanding songs that year.

Rick had me crackin' up He actually said "Muscles" was by Donna Summer,lol.

SoulAlive said:

There was more talent among the nominees that night than all of r&b music
the last 15 years.

Maaan, that whole entire clip was great, really enjoyed checkin that out. Rick James tryna get some moves from Grace Jones?

SunnySkies said:

I'm sayin ...First you had Stevie, then Luther, then Ray Parker Jr., then Marvin, and then George Benson...and on the female side, Jennifer, backed up by Patrice, backed up by, Deniece, backed up by Aretha, backed up by Donna Summer, and then Diana Ross. Sheeeeeit. And, I better take in what I saw from that clip as much as possible, cause at the rate most R&B music is goin, it'll probably never be on that kind of level again.

The times have changed....

I`m not that familiar with Patrice Rushen. I just ordered two of her CDs, so i can`t wait to hear them

SunnySkies said:

..... Yoouuu picked two great ones there Which reminds me, I gotta go find that "Patrice" album from 1978, I never heard that one, but I've heard alot of good things about it.

I look forward to hearing them... I like her sound, "Forget me nots" is heaven


I`m also curious about her later releases "Signature" and "Anything but ordinary"

You are going to love that "Straight From The Heart" album. It is great. My favorite track from the album is "I Was Tired Of Being Alone".

The CD also has 12 Inch bonus tracks.
