The song was so good, he was so bad... RIP Rick James 1948-2004


Funk Musician Rick James Dies in Los Angeles at 56

Who would dare argue that Super Freak was not one of the greatest songs ever recorded? Not necessarily a lyrical masterpiece, the musical composition was simply and stunningly irresistable. And the vocals... Oh, those vocals! Has anyone ever sung the word YEEEOW any better? I don't think so.

I know that Rick James also had a few other hits, but he was mostly known for hitting women in hotel rooms or with crack pipes. That notwithstanding, (nor forgiven) he was a guy who riffed one major league riff, and in rock & roll heaven, that counts for a lot. We'll miss ya, Rick.
