At the age of 56.
Remember "Superfreak"
The grand master of Funk
Looks like the Colombian marching powder did it's usual work. Shame eh! I heard he had a stroke and then got clean, but I guess the damage done and all, but 56, blimey!
He was a genuine full-on funkadelic genius. Pity he got into the marching powder.
Hy 56 on the powder aint bad .
Some on the powder only live to the ripe old age of 26
Rick James lived around here at East Aurora for a while. I heard stories of his wild lifestyle and his bit on the side was Linda Blair for a while, now thats a superfreak!! wink
No kidding Boards.....Channel 4 ("4-way doppler radar!!") were trying their best to suggest that as Rick James came from around here Buffalo must be the home of funk. Which is laughable. The only thing this place provided the US is snow in a bottle and a guide on how to burn down housing estates.
Rick James tho - never really tweaked my interest. The Cake song Meanwhile Rick James tho - that's good.
Never heard of 'im...bathing in the glow of ignorance.
