Great Album first heard it in 1982 in Hollywood ❤

Even though I didn't like chuck E's in love I bought the record and fell in in love with her music and originality I was 19 yrs old and I still love her music I'd like to give a shout out to all the silver Foxes and golden girls out there I'll be 60yrs old next month

Had to buy it as soon as I heard the first cut. I had a couple of Tom Waits' albums and would play them side by side. The world became a clearer place in my head thanks to their thoughtfilled lyrics. I was living in New Orleans, and began to see the street people in a whole new light. Before I had compassion but no understanding. It's just so easy to dehumanize people😢

Beautiful album. It was introduced to me in 1979 by my then girlfriend. She didn't stick around for long, but this album has been with me ever since.

1979 and Disco was everywhere!....Rickie threw some of us a much needed lifeline with this album

[dannybyers]

Rickie Lee and Tom Waits helped me navigate through disco .

Such memories with this Album when it first came out way back when, I was so much older then, Im younger than that now.

[t.j.payeur]

It was long ago and far away and I used to play this album every day. Man, she's something, alright...

[SpiritHawk]

had a hankering decades later....still love it 🙏

[caitrionadunphy]

Took this album out for a spin last week after many years of safe keeping!! Transported back to my 16yr old self!!

[kathausler]

She is the 💣 bomb...
Saw her in New Orleans, she blew me Away!!

I first heard "On Saturday Afternoons in 1963" in 1979 when the album "Rickie Lee Jones" was originally released and I was 20 years old and I have never forgotten it. I loved it then and at 65 I still do. "Years may go by..."

[kayecarp]

Saw her perform in Seattle…don’t remember the year…but I recall that she kinda faded from the scene. She’s talented but the venue wasn’t compatible with who and what her spirit conveys. There were many distractions and folks not paying attention. I think Earth, Wind and Fire followed….but I was thrilled to have gathered what I could from this mighty might woman. Wonderful soul. I just roam back to a easier day, an easier life, easier living. Whatever she’s doing…God bless her.

[kelvinbritt]

I used to have this album in yester love, not a bad time .

[patricepignare]

[dkish]

One of those great debuts by an artist where you chomped at the bit waiting for the follow-up, but you just knew it wouldn't be as good, the same deal with Van Halen's & Boston's debut albums, vintage!

[boeliewinter]

[jtailfeathers]
