Come Get It

Come Get It! had a title that drew you in and lyrics and beats that kept you playing this album from 1978 to the present. Rick James was super serious about being a superstar and a musician to be reckoned with as evidenced by the contents of this album.I would say the only drawback of this album was that tracks 1 and 8 ("Stone City Band, Hi!" and "Stone City Band, Bye!") didn't have Rick James singing on them at all. But the Stone City Band made up for it with an attractive beat (the same music production was used on both tracks) on both of those tracks.My favorite songs on this album are:Track 2: "You and I"Track 7: "Hollywood"Track 6: "Mary Jane"Track 5: "Be My Lady"You have up-tempo beats, disco beats, love ballads, and dance beats. This album was a blueprint on how you put together a disco-era album.

THE VERY FIRST DAY I HEARD "YOU AND I" ON THE RADIO (IN THE '80's), I WAS IN LOVE. HAVING NEVER SET EYES ON RICK JAMES, I KNEW HE WAS EVERYTHING HE SOUNDED LIKE. I DIDN'T SEE HIM FOR THE FIRST TIME UNTIL I WAS INTO ABOUT 6 MONTHS OF PLAYING THE "COME GET IT" ALBUM OVER AND OVER AGAIN. RICK APPEARED ON DICK CLARK'S "AMERICAN BANDSTAND" AND DON CORNELIUS' "SOUL TRAIN" AND WAS EVERYTHING I THOUGHT HE'D BE. I WAS WORSE THAN "IN-LOVE" AFTER THAT AND LOVED HIM EVER SINCE. EVEN WHEN RICK APPEARED (SEVERAL TIMES AS THE SHOW'S MOST REQUESTED CELEB) AS SPECIAL GUEST ON BILL MAHER'S "POLITICALLY INCORRECT" LATE NIGHT, JUST TO TALK, NO SINGING, I HAD TO BE THERE, GLUED TO THE TUBE. I LOVED ME SOME RICK ANYWHERE, ANYTIME! HE WAS HILARIOUS! HE HAD SUCH A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR IN ANY FORUM HE WAS INVITED TO BE A PART. I MISS HIM ALL THE TIME NOW, ESPECIALLY WHEN I PLAY OR HEAR HIS MUSIC SOMEWHERE. FINDING THIS ALBUM ON CD WAS GOLD AND HAS A VERY SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART. RICK'S "GARDEN OF LOVE", I'VE OWNED ON LP SINCE THE '80's AS WELL BUT I'VE YET TO BUY IT ON CD FROM AMAZON SINCE IT WAS A LITTLE TOO COSTLY LAST I CHECKED. I DID BUY THE "STREET SONGS" CD THE SAME DAY AS "COME GET IT" TO REPLACE MY WORN OUT ALBUMS. YOU'LL LOVE THEM TOO IF YOU ARE INDEED A TRUE FAN.

Miss ya Rick :) Now about this Cd of his. Rick has done some good stuff before this one came out. Right about here though, I believe he was looking to elevate his game. He does so here with a collection of songs that cover some new ground for him and the band. lots of funk, Rick James style. As I do a lot of the time, I won't try and tell you which songs are the best, I will say that it is worth the money you spend to have in your possession.

Dave Chappelle made this line famous "I'm Rick James B#TCH...!" but only those a few generations before '03 or '04 would be aware of this Pioneer of Funky,Urban R &B music.He is legendary from the '70s until his unfortunate demise but you can still hear the influence of his music in today's sampled music.However,nothing beats the original songs he wrote/sang & played!Go ahead give his music a listen bet you'll enjoy it : )-Ms.D.M.

Classic Motown album. Awesome. !!!

On retrouve sur ce disque de Rick James le cocktail funk irrésistible qui a fait sa renommée. Un funk brulant et presque potache, se jouant de lui-même... et qui se marie parfois au disco ( "You and I", "Be my lady" ) ou au rock ( "Mary Jane" ). Le premier morceau ( "Stone city band" ), qui ouvre et clôt le disque, donne tout de suite le ton et réjouira les funk addicts de tous poils. On a droit en guise de soupape d' aération à deux ballades, moite ( "Dream maker" ) ou mélancolique ( "Hollywood" ).Rick James, incroyable personnage haut en couleur, quelque part à mi-chemin entre Prince et George Clinton...Il signe là un opus de grande qualité, gorgé de soul coquine et de grooves funky dansants à souhait. Les arrangements du combo peuvent paraître basiques ( encore que... facile à dire! ) mais sont bougrement énergiques. A part ça ? Rythmique hyper-efficace, cuivres calins, tout est là... sans oublier la voix de Rick James qui semble vouloir retranscrire un rut permanent.Bref, un album épatant, réalisé en 1978 avant le virage des années 80, trois ans avant le chef-d'oeuvre Street Songs et pas loin de l' égaler, ce qui n' est pas peu dire...

Awesome tracks. CD came in great condition.

Pour un fan de la musique de Rick James, je trouve cet album vraiment terne ; c'est juste histoire d'avoir "la collec".

Ancien producteur à la Motown, cet album solo a un son et des arrangement parfait, voir en avance sur son temps (1978), je l'écoute en boucle en ce moment et trouve à chaque écoute que les morceaux son incroyablement funky, tellement groovy baby...

funky!
