the baddest funkateer of the late 70's and 80's classic album Street songs turns 35. yeah he had two legit decades
and had at least 101 tight cuts period.

this album was the truth and it had it all. Reggae,Funk,R&B,GOspel,Pop,New wave,Pop He talked about the Police when it wasn't fashionable.

the man had a Horn section that brought the stank. he had a strong African vibe and feel. a free and Honesty soulful nature.

He wrote a great book and he kept it real and it was a must have.
he already the Piano and voice thing on JOhnny Carson back when it was the real "TOnight Show"
he did his duet "Happy" that he did with Teena Marie solo at the piano on the tonight show and it was cool.

Rick still is cold.
