Velvet Posted August 6, 2004 Report Posted August 6, 2004 Apparently it was natural causes. Just heard it on CBC.
bONES Posted August 6, 2004 Report Posted August 6, 2004 is Rick James Canadian and did he ever get out of jail? inquiring minds want to know
Velvet Posted August 6, 2004 Author Report Posted August 6, 2004 The irony is that the royalty check from radio plays immediately following any artists death is likely the biggest royalty check ever to hit their mailbox. With every station playing Super Freak today he can probably afford a good funeral.
MarcO Posted August 6, 2004 Report Posted August 6, 2004 Rick James played in a band with Neil Young in the early 1960's in Winnipeg (or maybe, Thunder Bay)!
Jaimoe Posted August 6, 2004 Report Posted August 6, 2004 I like Rick and I'm sort of sad about this news, but I'm more shocked that he made it this far. He may have died of " natural causes ", but there's no way his heart could have stayed healthy after years of well-documented hard-living. R.I.P. Super Freak.
Chewie Posted August 7, 2004 Report Posted August 7, 2004 "I wish I had two more hands so I could give those titties four thumbs down!!!" "Darkness, get over here Charlie Murphy!!!" lol
NewRider Posted August 7, 2004 Report Posted August 7, 2004 I believe Rick James was from Buffalo, NY and I don't think he was currently serving time in prison. He may have been a crackhead but he made some awesome fuckin' music! "I'm in love with Mary Jane, she's my main thang"
meggo Posted August 8, 2004 Report Posted August 8, 2004 i can just imagine what he said to st. peter when he got up there...
