The man who could have been Prince

Funny how the culture market and the capacity of artists for elephantine chemical indulgence mediates between excellence and mediocrity. Rick James lost it by the early 80s in a storm of drink and powder but was a mega, mega genius at his best - melding funk and 70s rock into a perfect fusion. He became a figure of fun a tragedy but forget all that while he shows you what 80s funk could have been. Enjoy.

Synth sleaze

Stupid, embarassing softcore that inspired countless Italian cannibal related riffs. But the music is nifty...
