Bustin' Out

Rick James, hard-lived, straight-up great funk artist is dead.

I’m sad, but not surprised, that a man who lived so hard died at 56 of natural causes. His music recalls the environs of an Airmen’s Club or two. :-) For that alone, he should be remembered.

RIP, Rick.

UPDATE: Had to delete the music file due to its massive KB requirement.

Funny you should mention him playing Airmens' Clubs...I remember seeing him at a Base Youth Center in the mid 70's...along with Santana. I most recently saw Mr. James (2 years ago) at the Barbary Coast in Las Vegas playing blackjack. Very sad to hear of his passing...he will be missed.
