Rick said that he never used coke before a performance during his hey day. It was during his fight with Motown that his habit got out of control. He was one hell of a force. So much more than Super Freak & Dave Chappelle skit. RIP 👑Rick you are ❣️🙏🏽
If Stevie Wonder approves you know damn well what an incredible artist that person is. Rick James, an unappreciated genius who greatly contributed to popular music more than people know
an underrated musical genius here folks...Rick and another Motown legend, El Debarge. LOVE them both. RIP Rick, and thanks for ALL the GREAT Music you composed and produced for us/the world.
Happy heavenly 73rd birthday to Punk Funk king Rick James, who was one of the popular acts on the Motown label, late 70s & mid 80s with his trademark braids & street Funk like this track, his biggest seller that even had MC Hammer get in on the act
Rick James was thee'- super freak~- I would so love to say~ long live the king of punk funk~ but reluctantly, I have to say~ R.I.P Rick James~ you burnt yourself out far too early~ but you've left a deep and lasting scar~ peace out brother°- Mark Dee~Xxx
I saw rick James on the net few weeks ago and I thought it's just a joker messing around on a video. Then it came to my mind when in my early teens in around 1982 to 1984 seeing him on TV either on top 10 british charts and also in London in this period and then my memory returned that this man is not a joker but a great legend from the early 80's in other words I had forgotten about him.
HAHAHAHA STEVIE WONDER 🕶🕶🕶🕶🕶 jaming awaaaay !!!! Daaamn I was just 17 and just coming out of high school, glad I got to live that era. 80' & 90' BEST THAT EVER WAS AND EVER WILL BE !!!! 😀😀🤣🤣🤪😜😜👌👌👌👌
What a voice.... and the moves and attitude to roll with it..... Back in the day when the idea of monitoring was non existent...... waiting for the sound to bounce back of the rear wall.... That’s an eternity for a musician..... and they still rolled with it..... Don’t approve of mic swinging...... That’s just asking for something to go wrong..... Other than that.... RIP Rick James..... You were high as.... and professional as F!
After the 50th oooh-oooh owl sound he sings to the audience, I would’ve got up and left. If the audience isn’t feeling it, your not getting it no matter how many times you, oooh-oooh🤷♂️ Thank God that wasn’t put into the record
Rick James high as hell and covered in glitter. The 80's ya'll.
That's not glitter--Those are Cocaine Crystals

geekmom gaming cause his improvizing with getting the crowd to sing along, is too fast and out of sync with them. Coke....
Cause that times culture was not freak as after
Setting I guess? geekmumgaming but could see the groove internalised pop out of most :)
Maybe because they know he is lip sinking
@@joeshmoe4671 a degree in the mix .. At times . but still performing
They don't make musicians like this anymore. Love u Rick.
Best rock n roll of all time!

ST LOUIS SEPT 1981- dedicated to Rev Rossow ...the best....and his daughters Sue and Karen.....God bless you both.....
M.C. Hammer sampled this song in "Can't Touch This!" I never realized this until today. Life is short. This is a small world.
スーパーフリーク、サイコーだね😃
I like how the audience gets to watch from another state.
Who cares if they are playing music video audio over a live performance? He still puts on one hell of a show.
I wanted that comment, shit 4 years late:)
I’ve always loved Rick James! He put Buffalo, New York on the map. Rick was the epitome’ of cool. He is so sadly missed! Great musical artist! Peace.
Dancei muito no Palmeiras, lá Croatia, e praça da árvore e outros.

Buena cansion hecha para el solo peefecta la letra y los sonidos de la cansion si la canta otra persona dañan todo unica para su voz y personalidad
Wish he wasn't lip syncing I still love this song
Steve loves the song yeaaaaaahhhhhh
Can’t stop thinking of Dave Chappell Rick James Skits 🤣😂
Rick James kicks major ass
Back when finding a girl that was a freak was something to sing about. Nowadays find one that isn't, now that'd be a song.
