Rick James And Teena Marie- "Lady T" (funk, single)

barbarella · 04-03-2009, 07:10 PM

The late Rick James had his own individual style- Sharp and very catchy. He was the Mentor of Teena Marie, "Lady T", who releases her new album, Congo Squares in June this year,accompanied by a single-Can't Last A Day, featuring Faith Evans. This is some thirty years since her first recordings, one of which, " I'm Just A Sucker For Your Love", is actually a duet with Rick. As for her debut single to launch Congo Squares, I doubt that this particular choice has the strength to deliver.

Rick James- Some Serious Funk!

I agree, Rick James has got a great sound going on, and its all his own. He's really fun to listen to for a nice fresh change. Rick's earned a good place in the funk world, I believe.

I heard the late Rick James' hit single "You and I" in 1978 and have been a fan ever since. A true pioneer.

Whoever these guys may be, they have a second chance to bask in the attention and glory of MB, thanks to this game: http://www.musicbanter.com/games-lis...litz-game.html

So, I'm off to do some research and hopefully come back with an opinion of some sort....

Wasn't Teena Marie some eighties pop star? Rick James and Teena Marie must have gone together like Liz and Dick.
