In this final installment of remembering the music career of the late Rick James, a familiar line in a few Rick James songs was "Temptations Sing". You heard The Temptations sing backup on a few Rick James songs and Rick James was a big part of the "Reunion" of the Temptations in 1982.
"Standing On The Top" by The Temptations from 1982
Rick James also had a huge hit with another Motown legend, Smokey Robinson
"Ebony Eyes" from 1983
Also Rick James appeared on the 1980's TV series "The A-Team" with another music legend that will be honored on this blog in a few days, the late Isaac Hayes.
The appearance on "The A-Team" originally aired in the fall of 1985 and also featured Rick James song "Glow" and Isaac Hayes then 6 year old song "Don't Let Go".
