the rest of that record is "Super Freak Jr."

Street Songs really was Rick's best work.

In context Rick was 10yrs older than Prince in 1978 when both of them dropped their first solo albums. O.K.

Rick's presence was strong out the gate.

Rick felt more season out the gate cuz he was piggy backing off everybody.

Rick capitalized off of his image blending in with the P-Funk/Kiss vibe of the day.

Prince was fresh out of High School.

It only took Prince 3 yrs to single handedly BLOW RICK OUT THE WATER...however you want to look at it.

Rick was done by '83 though musically anyways.
