This is Rick James and the Stone City Band at its best a true band of musicians,I believe the Throwdown albums was one of his best,Rick James definately one of the best Im a fan for life.
@xgm4life the video itself is on the DVD "I'm Rick James, Bitch"...buncha hard-to-find videos of his on that disc, including this one, which was supposed to be a promo shoot for the "Throwin' Down" album release.
had all the pre-requisite parts that make up a monster jam too.
thanks you tube for doing your part.....but it doesnt excuse top 40 radio programmers and record execs in the day with failing miserably for not charrting this single with some 'serious push'
@batfighter8 really? so if i like the white girl -being a white man - most, that makes me a racist? didn't know that. thanks for enlighting me. u're the best man!
ty for uploading this, one of my moms favorite songs, she used to work for the record company and man, it also allowed me to put together a sample, TY!
@manacim you're right! I'm from Poland and when I'm talking with somebody about music no one knows who Rick James is. and imagine, only a bunch of people know superfreak (and they think that's u can't touch this cover!). but this is Poland...

All I have to add is that I love this song! What a shame we can't buy it. Even though I'm 43, I just found this song about two weeks ago. It's great!

CLASSIC JAMES HERE...
I dj'ed in Leamington, Ontario (Spencer's) at the time,,,some 45 miles from Detorit.
I played this one every club night until all the kids capitulated and damn well THREWDOWN!!
Mainstream radio did not give this one the respect it deserved.....and I still cant figure it out to this day
had all the commercial hooks required.
ANYWAY, our room gave it the necessary love, and the people responded,,thanks all of you. and you know who you are.
