“I’m a Sucker for Your Love” is a duet by Teena Marie and Rick James from Teena’s 1979 album entitled “Wild and Peaceful. “I’m a Sucker for Your Love” is the first song on the album. The song features a blend of Funk and R&B, showcasing the vocal chemistry between the two artists. Both Teena Marie and Rick James were influential figures in the funk and soul music scene during the late 70s and 80s, and their collaborations are well remembered for their energy and catchy melodies.

The album Wild and Peaceful was  released by Motown. It features significant contributions from Rick James who produced and wrote the bulk of material as well as providing co-vocals on "I'm a Sucker for Your Love".

Even though I haven't been hearing "I'm a Sucker for Your Love" frequently on the radio lately, it certainly hasn't been forgotten online. There's a noticeable audience tuning in to the song, and many people have the vinyl record. Additionally, you can find Teena and Rick delivering a live performance of the song on YouTube.
