[@colinmontgomery1956]

He really was. Awesome guy.

[@rajbhattacharya4427]

Especially since a lot of people go through such great lengths to conceal who helped them, in whichever capacity. This man literally asked for his band to come in. It wasn't like they just showed up either and he had to explain who they were. You've seen famous people recently? They act like they're some super genius one man show. They hardly ever thank anybody. It's extremely obvious though that they mostly are helped rather than contributing, whereas Rick contributed most of all but still always took the time to thank even those that played a minor role.

[@itsHTN]

Basically, the interviewer asked him where the band was and gave him the opportunity to put them in the background. But yes, rick then brought them into the picture.

[@berrytonejones11]

Humble is definitely NOT the word I'd use to describe RICK JAMES 😂 but that was surely a loving gesture of appreciation

People only know Rick from the Chappell’s Show, but dude was a straight up musical genius. He was sooo talented as a producer, musician, performer. He had his demons, but he earned his place in music history. He was just as talented as Prince, Quincy, Barry Gordy. I wish brothers still played in a band, instead of the current hip hop. Soul Brothers who play the funk, Rock and Roll, and the blues.

[@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921]

Brilliant musician lost in the 80s. Its so sad he is remembered by drug induced antics. Rick had a penchant for timing in music that was very underrated. There were many syncopated rhythms that Rick actually popularized in pop music after the P funk time period. James Brown on the one was expanded with Rick to the extreme if your familiar with his music. I cant directly credit Rick with funk bass line progressions but he was a major player in his time period and expounded on the intertwined vocals and bass synco pop. This man was a genius in the music world and should be remembered for that and not his personal demons. He exemplified the black singer songwriter experimentalist of his day and later fell into overproduced underwritten pop culture trap. Prince was very much a understudy of Ricks music intertwined with Donnie Hathaway style phrasing. Rick wasn't some joke that is only spoken of in jest of drugs or a comedic skit, he was a brilliant musician fighting substance abuse habits that got the better of him.

If he died then how was *He* in Dave chappelle's show in *2005*
