      Especially since a lot of people go through such great lengths to conceal who helped them, in whichever capacity. This man literally asked for his band to come in. It wasn't like they just showed up either and he had to explain who they were.
      You've seen famous people recently? They act like they're some super genius one man show. They hardly ever thank anybody. It's extremely obvious though that they mostly are helped rather than contributing, whereas Rick contributed most of all but still always took the time to thank even those that played a minor role.

    People only know Rick from the Chappell’s Show, but dude was a straight up musical genius. He was sooo talented as a producer, musician, performer. He had his demons, but he earned his place in music history. He was just as talented as Prince, Quincy, Barry Gordy. I wish brothers still played in a band, instead of the current hip hop. Soul Brothers who play the funk, Rock and Roll, and the blues.

    What a King, so handsome and soooo talented. Fabulous band, I hope the concert is on CZcams. So some comments negative about glitter, I hope they educate themselves about this era of music and how Rick James rules as a King and his legacy lives on. He is still underated I'm guessing due to the fact that a few black comedians thought it would be ok to tear him down to make a fast buck then support him into recovery.. RIP King Rick James ❤️❤️
