Favourite Rick James songs? Just thought it'd be interesting to see what people's favourite Rick James' songs are?. I know a few of his biggest hits, but not really that familiar with most of his stuff. [Edited 6/24/16 1:03am] We're here, might as well get into it. | |

Mostly big hits for me, but they are great. . Cold Blooded You and I Mary Jane Ebony eyes Give it to me baby Bustin out of L7 Magic moments. Looseys Rap (Duet with Roxanne shante) Square Biz (Duet with Teena Marie as Slick rick) . Song I can't stand . Party all the time (Duet with eddie murphy) Superfreak is okay, but heard it to many times and give it to me baby is much better. Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name | |

Agree with most of these, but will add his later gem Turn It Out from Urban Rhapsody. That cut is back fo the old, classic funk. Don't think anyone mentioned 17 yet. But Bustin' Out is probably my all-time fave. A lot of the others like Give It to Me Baby, Ghetto Life, Mary Jane, You and I, etc. were just too played into the ground for me. Oh yes, one more I really dig is the long version of Standing on the Top with the Temptations. Sing! If you've got funk, you've got style. | |

Big Time Dance Wit Me Mary Jane (DJ Green Lantern Evil Genius Remix) You And I You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Cheers guy's, I just ordered the Anthology 2cd. Notice it still misses a few songs on here, and no "ghetto life" , which is kind of annoying. But should cover most basis We're here, might as well get into it. | |

Busting Out or Hollywood. FOOLS multiply when WISE Men & Women are silent. | |

Among many others, have to say these are my favorites of Rick's
Standing on the top (with the Temps) Fire & Desire (with Lady T) Starship Mary Jane Give it to me baby Super Freak Ghetto Life You & I Ebony Eyes (with Smokey) Big Time Moonchild Slow and Easy Edit: forgot to add: Cold Blooded Dance wit me You & I so many great jams by Rick
Rick could funk with the best of 'em and he was one of the best Quiet Storm/balladic songwriters too. Rick James deserves major props for sure. [Edited 6/29/16 9:25am] | |
