As I sat here going thru my collection of Rick James material trying to figure out what songs
I was going to put on a 60 min. Soul-Patrol.Net radio retrospective, I began to realize the
error of my ways.
Rick James himself saved me the trouble.
He did his own insightful and honest apprasial of his career back in 1997.
So I think that I'll just leave it at that.
Rick does a much better job than I could and also provides us with a history of FUNK ta boot!
The song "GOOD OL DAYS" from the 1997 release called URBAN RAPSODY, just about sums it up and
it's in Ricks own voice.
