Rick was a classic masterful artist. A lot people slept on Slow and Easy because it didn't get as much air play as Ebony Eyes, Fire and Desire, Teardrops and Happy but Slow and Easy hold its own with ALL Rick classic. RIP The Super Freak....✌🏿 L7 4 Life.
Man him a Lady T went deeper than we all thought. Still remember this song but know of its beauty even more as an adult now. Thanks to my mom on putting that 70s to 90s vibes in me.
that dude could write a slow song. remember he wrote HAPPY, MOMMA"S EYES, JEFFERSON"S BALL, MAKE LOVE TO ME,TEARDROPS, OH WHAT A NIGHT FOR LUV, SHA LALALALA (COME BACK HOME), and the music to DEJA VU words by TENNA MARIE
"When love is gone," " Don't give up on Love", showed he was a crooner, that could hold his own with other balladeers, let alone his incredible writing skills and ability of playing several instruments!! May he REST IN POWER!!!
What a beautiful interlude/song! I love his bond and magic with Teena. Am I trippin, or is the line about “stay tuned in my heart tomorrow” a reference to Teena’s song Tune In Tomorrow?
This song is exactly one year older than me I love all of Papa RickJames track🎶 especially “Hard to get” 1981 & 1997 How to be a player sound track too
[Interlude]: It was a summer's day, when I first laid eyes on you So small, pretty and petite, and oh, how you could sing I remember the way you looked at me as you sat playing your piano And the smiles of joy upon our faces, as we talked about our futures Tears fill my heart everytime I hear you sing to me And as time went on, you became such a star The heavens were ignited and delighted by your brightness And oh, how the people loved you and cheered your name (Oh baby, oh baby...) But all those times and all those lyrics between the lines Became the very pain, that will someday separate us I'll never forget, though the song lingers on Of the love that's still strong, the memories of you And I will always stay tuned in my heart tomorrow So may your star continue to shine And may you always remember that in my life You are something called love Darling, there are memories in my mind I can remember so well You were singing as I played my guitar Love was in making in Portugal There were feelings, I touched each part of you And you surrendered all your charms Love was blooming, and girl if you remember I never felt that way before Baby, you loved me in so many ways, baby Slow and easy You made love to me all night long Slow and easy Slow and easy Darling, there are stories we could tell About our feelings, and our love And I realize, you know me oh, so well Are you an angel from up above? You were tender in our romance And we sang it in a slow dance And I knew you were mine And the many tender pleasures that no feelings could out-measure Girl, so beautiful and fine Yeah, you loved me in so many ways, baby Slow and easy I'll make love to you all night long Slow and easy, oh yeah Next time it'll be better, baby Slow and easy Slow and easy I'll make love to you till it's almost dawn Slow and easy Slow and easy Slow and easy Nice and mellow Slow and easy Soft and gentle Slow and easy Soft and gentle Baby you move me, yes you move me Slow and easy...
