In 1981 he wrote and put Toft Morris Day and the time and by the 1983 when color purple came out Prince & Micheal Jackson ran the 80’s and that was in the Tick James Documentary called Bitch in .

Yet another wonderful artist whose off-stage issues became what they were known for best (instead of their musical legacy).

I never liked this cut, but Rick had so many other No. 1's , it don't matter, I bump it for the memories of good time partying to all his other songs. R.I.P Rick James, the king of P-Funk

#RICK JAMES WAS TRUE TO HIS ROLL IN THIS VIDEO ❤❤❤.

[@sandykashlin7152]

Just recently discovered that Rick played Spanky in Life with Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence and I gotta say that after seeing his performance at the intro of this video, I believe he would have made a great actor if he pursued it. A very natural and talented guy. R.I.P

Rick james was a good actor way better actor than Prince

[@jongrand]

@@thepromiseman7745 I haven’t seen him act anywhere else but his acting in this video wasn’t very good. For sure not better than Prince in Purple Rain. Maybe better than Prince in Graffiti Bridge🤣

When your life imitates your art. The funny thing is this is precisely how he went out. Not with a bang but a whimper. This song was fire, I loved it.
