Rick James was definitely a true genius at an early age. I was shocked to hear about, "Great White Cane"...Check out the comments section--->>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIGjn7RlW90
We have a lot of musical legendary fallen soldiers, shot down in the war of drugs. I have been listening to and studying Black music & musicians back to the 1920's. We have a lot of legendary singers and entertainers that left us too soon & Rick James was one of them that left us with so much more that he could have given, but even in his death, his legend is growing. He really made some beautiful music when he was alive and it is bad that he went out as a "Super-Freak"...He was so much more than that.
I am listening to these songs that you posted and they are making me feel soooo gooood!!! Thanx Again !!!
