Rick James – Come Get It
Rick James kind of freaked me out when I was kid. I didn’t understand or have any knowledge other then what was in pop culture and the news ie the Simpsons and 90’s era Rick (eeek). I didn’t grow up in a house that listened to funk and neither did any of my friends so I didn't have any reference to his earlier work. It was much later in life that I I started to listen to his music via my friend’s recommendation and learned his back story. I'm in the camp that Prince stole his shtick. Don't come at me. Despite being hugely problematic, the guy could write and play a hell of a tune.

I picked this up for cheep at one of the record fairs few years back.
