Come Get It! is the debut album by Rick James and the Stone City Band. [2] [4] It was released in April 1978 via the Motown sub-label Gordy Records. The singles " You and I" and " Mary Jane" propelled Come Get It! to double platinum status. [5]
Rolling Stone, in a retrospective, praised "You and I", writing that "James unleashed his brash 'punk-funk' movement with this gloriously strutting single, which boasted a colossal synth-bass groove, James' boa-tossing vocal panache and double-entendres directed at his ex-wife." [6]
