Really?? That guy excists for real??
Forgive me, i was born in 81, I know the tunes you're discussing and I know the name Rick James - but I've never seen a picture of him.
But I have seen him in A-Team(!) and thought it was one of the most ridiculous episodes of the show. Man, I always thought he was an actor!!!
Not Rick James but that weird dude on the A-Team show - I thought he was an actor because he didn't convince me that he was a rock star!
Learning sumtin new all the time, eh...?
