    Saw Rick James in concert 3 times between 1979 & 1981. He was a true showman. Teena Marie was at 2 of those performances, she was fabulous.

    I was visiting my dad at work which was in Burbank and diagonal to the apartment complex where Rick James lived. As I pulled out to go back to my job, I saw a ton of news helicopters hovering over the complex. I called my dad and said another celebrity must have died. That complex housed a lot of celebrities as it was right across from a major studio and that complex was where Cory Heim died as well. I got back to my job and turned on the local news and it was Rick James that had all of the helicopters hovering.
