This whole thing breaks my heart. Rick James was an absolute innovator. BELTED his lyrics so ferociously that I can't believe he wouldn't take breaks between lyrical phrases. He communicated sensitivity, sensuality and sexiness in such a masculine way. He is sorely missed. I just wish he wasn't remembered by young people as a Dave Chappelle meme.
Love Rick James. The epitome of the word "Wild". Years later watching him in interviews, post prison. He grew up, he spoke very intelligent, thoughtful of life, being spiritual, owning what he did wrong, thoughtful about how music affects young people. Was very impressed. Was a very real and humble man. More so later in life. But at least he got there. The stories between him and Eddie Murphy and Charlie Murphy and Prince are beyond hysterical. Love me some Rick James. A fellow Aquarius. Rest in peace 🙏
I used to drive Rick in my limo back in the 80's. It makes me sad to think of the delayed consequences of an excessive lifestyle. He was such an incredible musician and human being! Yes, he did stand on the trunk of my brand new stretch limo, like Charlie Murphy described he did to Eddie's sofa! LOL. RIP Rick...you left a lot of groupies behind without somebody to FREAK them!
Terrence Howard has to play him in a movie
Dude lived a life we couldn't even dream of. He definitely lived life to the fullest. Wish he was still around.
there will never be another king of punk funk ....rick james
All that talent wasted.
Unfortunately, Rick James passed away in 2004. What he went through back in the day has finally caught up to him. R.I.P.
I miss Rick James like crazy. If I had a chance to meet any famous person in the world it would be him.
