    The fact that RICK JAMES gave PRINCE a second shot at fame, after being kicked off the ROLLING STONES tour, hiring PRINCE to open for him, just go to show the MUSICIANSHIP and SHOWMANSHIP that RICK had for the love of music.
    R.I.P. RICK JAMES
    R.I.P. PRINCE
    The world is a lot emptier without you both.
    LOVE & PEACE ☮️🕊️💜💜💜💜💜🌹🎸🎷🎺🎭

      For the correction Prince opened for Rick James in early 1980 and opened for the Rolling Stones in 1981. He got booed because he didn't had crossover success yet and the Rolling Stones audience wasn't into urban music.

      Correction Prince never had to crossover Prince wrote and recorded this first album at 15 years old and Warner Brothers didn’t let me start producing is own album until he was 18 years old .
      In 1981 he wrote and put Toft
      Morris Day and the time and by the 1983 when color purple came out Prince & Micheal Jackson ran the 80’s and that was in the Tick James Documentary called Bitch in .

    Funny because Prince claimed Rick James was one of his influences. On his first album Rick James played most of the instruments himself.
    It's a shame he is mostly known for his antics, drinking and druguse because he was a fab artist and producer who had a lot of influence on Funk and R&B in the '80s.

    Yet another wonderful artist whose off-stage issues became what they were known for best (instead of their musical legacy). If you look at his story, you'll know the man clearly had some major demons (which certainly doesn't excuse some of the horrible things he did), but you can't deny he was a force in his heyday.

      +Terrell L. Moody Much of the rock and roll cachet associated with "self-medicating" had already dissipated by the 1970s and the dissolute lifestyle became trite and cliché. A greater respect for the dangers of drug abuse seems to be lacking nowadays.

      Because of the drugs, the booze, the ego, and his unpredictability, most media and industry bigwigs didn't want to deal with Rick, at least not directly. Rick sold all those records, yet Berry Gordy and Motown still behave as if Rick was never even signed to their label...WTH is up with that? But he's still one of the greatest Soul/Funk artists of all time. RIP.
