He appreciates it very much. Ordered this album for my co-worker. Thanks for fast delivery.


This LP has the greatest love song of all-time
"

For those who write James off as a pseudo-P Funk rip off artist with minimal vocal and production skills, listen to this one track. Buy this just for the timeless, classic Rick James/Teena Marie duet "Fire and Desire.

He sounds incredible here. Most of his pop-sounding hits like "Super Freak" don't do his vocal talent justice -- but you'll gain a new respect for him if you haven't already heard this track.

And Teena Marie is another under-rated gem . . . Mariah, Whitney, Lee Ann, Celine and any other top singer known for dumbfounding vocal gymnastics could take a lesson from her.

This review is written by a lukewarm RJ fan, so take that into consideration.

But the single track "Fire and Desire", in my opinion, is the greatest love song of all-time.

I literally hit rewind button over and over and over on this track b/c I don't want it to end.

Highly recommended purchase for fans of true singing and great music.


Osyrus is cold as ice!
Plus you should never make light of anyone dying. Sure Rick James may have been a a**hole, but he made some great funk songs. This album is really good, shows some of the best funk/disco music from the 80's. He was also a good bassist.

Rick We Miss YOu
This collection of his hits is pretty good. I love Rick James' music. I could do without listening to Teena Marie's squealing and screeching. It makes my head ache, my teeth itch, and my flesh crawl. We miss you Rick.


R.I.P "RICK JAMES", YOU GAVE IT 2 US BABY"!!!! YOU HAD FIRE & DESIRE, YOU ARE TRULY MISSED DADDY! "HE'S RICK JAMES BITCH"....
RICK WHERE WERE THE "SISTAS"? WE LOVE YOU ANYWAY BABY, YOU WAS A SUPER-FREAK & YOU WERE COLD-BLOODED DOING IT!!!! DID SOME IDIOT SAY SOMETHING'S MISSING FROM HIS' "ULTIMATE COLLECTION"?---HA STAY OFF THAT MARY-JANE FREAK!!!! ~~~IT'S "IRONIC" NO BULLS**T 2 DAYS BEFORE "RICK J" PAST I WAS LISTENING 2 THE "ULTIMATE COLLECTION" VERY HEAVILY THEN I GOT THE NEWS. . OF COURSE I WAS OVERWHELMED, RICK BABY I LOVE YOU & YOUR MUSIC (I KNOW YOU'LL FIND P E A C E & L O V E). . .

IF MOST REFER 2 RICKS' MUSIC AS "FUNK" THEN THAT MAKES HIM THE "KING-OF-FUNK OR DISCO". . . RICK WAS "A LADY GETTER" AS DISPLAYED ON "DAVE CHAPELLE SHOW"---ASK "CHARLIE MURPHEY" HA HA!? IF YOU FIND RICK "SCARY" THEN "BOO" LET HIM SHOOT YOU WITH HIS' LOVE-GUN!!!! WHAT? THAT'S MORE "ABSURD" THAN SAYING "something's missing"?!---YEAH Y'ALL HAVE A FEW SCREWS MISSING (4 DAMN SURE)!!!! DISCO & R&B MUST SCARE YOU AS WELL!? >>>>ON THE CONTRARY<<<<

RICK IS A LEGEND 2 SAY THE VERY LEAST. . . HE HAD THAT "FIRE & DESIRE"--YOU CAN HEAR IT IN HIS' LYRICS!! I KNOW THAT THE 60s & 70s PEOPLE OF ALL CLASSES WERE PRONE 2 DRUG-USE LIKE CRACK, HEROINE & MARIJUANA. . . BUT I REALLY WISHED THAT RICK NEVER BECAME AN ADDDICT!!!! THANKS 2 GOD THAT FURTHER IN HIS' CAREER HE STOPPED ANY DRUG-USE! RICK GOT HIS' MIND & LIFE RIGHT WHICH BROUGHT US THESE CLASSICS THIS PRESENT DAY!!!! >>LOVE U RICK<<

RICK WAS BORN IN BUFFALO, NEW YORK IN FEBRUARY 1951. . . THAT'S WHY HE HAD SO-MUCH SOUL!@ HIS' UP-BRINGING INSPIRED THE SONG "GHETTO LIFE". . . WITH RICKS' "ULTIMATE COLLECTION" YOU CAN DO PLENTY 2 THESE LYRICS!!!! SUCH AS: DANCE, MAKE-LOVE, SIPP-ALITTLE OR LAY BACK & RELAX! ***~~~I LOVE HIS' ENTIRE ALBUM BUT MY FAVORITES FROM THIS ALBUM ARE: 1,3,4,5,6,8,*10,11,12 & *13. ~~~~THE BEATS & LYRICS WAS OFF THE HOOK~~~~
