    Rick James was one of the pioneers of punk funk.

    Best known for "Superfreak" BTW that is not HIS best song.

    Rick James and the Stone City band had their heyday in the 70's and early 80s Some of the best Rick James songs in my humble opinion are

    Ebony Eyes- a duet with Smokey Robinson

    17 years old

    Fire and Desire- a duet with Teena Marie

    You Bring the Freak out of me

    Give it to me Baby

    Ghetto Life

    Way too many to mention

    In the late 80s and 90s James fell on hard times and many publicized legal troubles including being jailed for rape/drug possession.

    He died a few years ago.

    James Johnson BKA Rick James was born in Buffalo NY

    Rick James was a 70's and 80's R&B singer. He passed away last year. In the Ghetto & Superfreak were two of his more notable hits, even in light of his recent passing I'm still having trouble forgiving him for producing Eddie Murphy's
