80s Old School Classic: "Ebony Eyes" by Rick James and Smokey Robinson Who knew Rick had it in him to do a ballad like this?

There were some cases where rick's ballads were the highlights
of his albums. Notice how rick draws on that cigarette like it's a joint in the video.  Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint | |

Rick & Smoke look like straight-up players near the end of the video.  | |

That video made me weepy-eyed when it was played during a tribute after Rick passed. Great song! "Funkyslsistah… you ain't funky at all, you just a little ol' prude"!

This song was featured in an episode of "Everybody Hates Chris."
I think it was, ironically, the one where he dressed up as Prince for Halloween. | |
