Great minds think alike! That song was on my mind before I checked your post.

Sha---WEEEET stuff, to be sure. My garage radio is ALWAYS on the old school R&B station.

A few years ago I picked up the deluxe edition of Street Songs because it had a bonus disc with a live Rick James concert, Oscar Alston sure could throw down!
Teena Marie was always one of my favorites too, she always had great basslines and players including Anthony Jackson.

Are you sure that isn't Allen McGrier on bass? Anyway, the instrumental can be found on the "Square Biz" 12".
