IT'S RICK JAMES!
 R&B
legend Rick James was one of the most influential black musicians of all
time. As an artist, songwriter and producer, James provided the funky
hits that resuscitated Motown Records in the late '70s. His Punk Funk
sound updated the label's style and saw it through the mid-'80s. By
1981, Rick was at the peak of his commercial success with the platinum
selling Street Songs album and the hit singles "Super Freak"
and "Give It to Me Baby."
The following year, Rick
James & the Stone City Band took the stage in Essen, Germany to open
the 10th Rockpalast-Festival. This 1982 performance was the first time
James played in Europe, bringing his brand of American Punk Funk to a
whole new audience. Together with the Stone City Band, James did not
disappoint, burning up the stage with his trademark sound and special
effects.
Now for the first-time,
this classic performance is available on DVD. Featuring classic hits
like "You and I," "Mary Jane," and of course,
"Super Freak," this is Rick James at his very best. Super
Freak: Live 1982 is not only a must-have collectors item but also a
fitting tribute to an R&B legend. RICK
