      Rick James was an Amazing Musician, but he did not save Motown. James was signed to Gordy, a subsidiary division of Motown. I do concur with that alleged journalist not knowing what he was talking about, especially since Super Freak( which I assume was the only song that journalist knew), wasn't even his biggest hit it was You and I, from the Come Get It Album, which was his highest charting hit on any chart. During his 1978 to 1986 run the highest selling performers were: The Commodores, Diana Ross, Lionel Richie, and Stevie Wonder, and he didn't write their hits.

      Lmfaoo! This comment is gold and 100% correct. This is exactly why late night personalities developed the ‘fake chuckle.’ Some can go overboard *cough*jimmy fallon*cough* BUT every single host does it and it’s necessary. At least studio audiences ease some load from the host. Interview settings like this can either be amazing because it’s intimate or awful like this because the interviewer is dull/bland.

      @Nikita Watkins I hear what you’re saying but there were some real opportunities for some great follow up questions but the interviewer just stuck to his script. It’s unfortunate.

    People today, don't realize that one of the most influential songs in terms of allowing hip hop to crossover world wide, was MC Hammer's Can't Touch This. It was sampled from Rick James's Super Freak.

    As an 80's baby, I grew up on Rick James and others. But, my dad was keen on Rick. That man was a genius, writing songs for numerous of ppl. Including Eddie!
    Three of my fav songs from Slick Rick:
    1. Ghetto Life
    2. Ebony Eyes feat Smokey
    3. Cold Blooded
    Rest peacefully Brother Rick⚘💕💯👍🏿✊🏿💪🏿

    Rick James was one of the best performers if his time. I love all his music. He put the f in funk..to me his song I resonate w him is his duet w Teena Marie fire and desire. That's my song. I listen to it all the time. I'm a big Rick James fan. He's gone too soon. Thanks for updating this video Rick James was well loved by people all over.

    Any stories about the funk era I'm all ears. Practically every popular genre of music today steals from the funk. If you got a funky bassline then chances are that song has a good chance of being a hit and Rick was a master at finding that hook
