To fans of sassy and savvy urban music, the name Rick James will forever be associated with the mainstream emergence of funk—that bottom-heavy blend of rock and soul that sparked a multiracial musical revolution in the 1970s and 1980s and has since influenced everything from rap to raves, punk to progressive rock. Along with the fame, the Grammy Award, and superstardom came drug abuse and even felony convictions, all of which are chronicled in this gripping, posthumous tell-all of the funk revolution.

It was hard to keep from copy editing James’ autobiography as I read along. Although after a while, the awkward repetition of sentences and entire paragraphs began to seem like part of the experience. It was easy to imagine him telling a story and adding the same crazy bit several times in a row.
Me: “Um, Rick, you just said that.”
The imaginary Rick James that lives in my head: “Cocaine’s a hell of a drug.”
The most interesting part of the book for me was the Zelig-like way James was involved with so many of the people and bands that came to embody the late-’60s rock scene. Who knew?
Rest in peace, super freak. (
