Rick James - Fire and Desire (7:18) Motowns Ultimate Collection line has been a massive success in putting together definitive single-disc compilations of their greatest artists, and the Rick James installment is no exception. Because this one includes some lengthier workouts, it isnt quite as complete as most of the series, but it does provide an essential look at James in his influential prime, leaving very little of his sex-and-drugs ethos to the imagination. ![]() ![]() From there the collection branches out into a generous selection from his best album, Street Songs (five in all), including his signature tune Super Freak; the RB Top Tens Mary Jane, Dance Wit Me, and Bustin Out; and duets with Smokey Robinson (Ebony Eyes) and protge Teena Marie (Fire and Desire). Its true that later hits like 17, Cant Stop, Glow, Sweet and Sexy Thing, and Looseys Rap are missing. But frankly, James was past his creative prime when he recorded them, and theyre not missed compared to whats here. With Stevie Wonder in a sudden creative downturn, this material almost single-handedly kept Motown Records on the charts as the 70s became the 80s, and it certainly paved the way for the hedonistic computer funk that made Prince a superstar in the 80s.
