@Xtravagant1000 You obviously never went 2 a Rick James concert back when he outgrossed everybody in concert except the Rolling Stones! Rick would str8 up blow when he sang live,so much that when other dates were added at the last minute for his shows,he would be hoarse. Rick would sit at the electric piano & sing Spacey Love,I swear his voice is was one of the best & most powerful tenors voices in music. Don't let these short & thrown 2gether concert footages fool you. Nobody tries 2 sing
@Xtravagant1000 a Rick James song til this day,because they cannot handle his vocals. You got artist of today,who try 2 sing like Prince,Michael Jackson,but not Rick James,because vocally he was a fuckin beast! To say Rick could'nt sing,shows me that you never attended his concerts when he was healthy,even hi as a kite on drugs,Rick could sing his ass off. He & Teena Marie would sing Happy & Fire & Desire in concert, and kill that shit! Never say that Rick James could'nt sing,because he can
This was when Keenan Ivory Wayans had his own late night talk show!!! In fact, I remember that he opened this particular show by meeting Rick James as Frenchie, his character from "In Living Color".
Line up: The Stone City Band & Slave They are also working on getting other artist. So go on out and show some love for Rick James (Stone City Band)trust me you won't be disappointed
he moves better here than he did in his younger days smooth pinstripe out fit band is incredible here too rick was inhis late forties still giggin lookin good
i wish he was still alive so we could see him perform today
