I'm from Cincinnati, his band from back in the day was cold, and the Deele, you just knew it was a matter of time, I saw them from the beginning, mid 70s.

Rick James was the Black Version of Prince. Big up Bro Dick Griffey!!! The Godfather of Black music.

[@Polostar79]

They were both black lol. Rick was the hood version of Prince. Much harder edged.
