Almost 3 years since the last comments before today's "uprising". And mostly positive postings. Rick's been dead for over 8 years now, and yet his popularity appears to be on the way up. I'm wondering if Dave Chappelle had anything to do with that?

Remember "Party All the Time"? Eddie Murphy croons his way through, and you're thinking, "Well, it's not a great voice, but, whatever..." until James starts to sing at the end. Only then did you realize the difference between a real pro and someone whose profession was something other than singing. Not as painful tho' as Travolta and Olivia Newton John on "You're the One That I Want."

Quite true. The only thing us hardcore RP types worry about is, well, having our sweet sweet eye jelly eaten by a hawk.

This tune defines cheesy '80s 'funk'. I still give it a 7. Especially since now I think of Little Miss Sunshine instead of the horrid '80s.

 
Yeah, Little Miss Sunshine it is. That girl can dance!!!

At first I thought it was the inside of the cape he was wearing. Which seemed like a logical choice for Mr. James.

BTW—LOVE this song. It always gets me dancing.

This song has aged well unlike many other 80s "hits"....love the inside jokes in the lyrics. "Room 714, I'll be waiting" is a direct reference to the # on a Quaalude.
