This review is from: I'm Rick James: The Definitive DVD (DVD)

Unfortunately many people remember Rick James for all the WRONG reasons...his crazy life, drug use and early death from the same...HERE we have the part of Rick James that even Rolling Stone Magazine does not seem to acknowledge, given their juvenile review of this dvd....his musical and performance GENIUS!! Most of the clips on this set i have NEVER seen and the production/direction from Joe Lauro at Historic Films and Universal/Motown is the highest quality....this entire Motown artist series that seems to be coming out of Universal is awesome and this one is among the best!!!!

I just finished watching this DVD of one of the true giants in Funk-Rock. Rick James was one bad dude. His antics in his videos were both funny and funky. I will always find time to listen to Rick;and now I can watch him too. The quality of this DVD is awesome,both visually and sound wise. Any fan of the late great Rick James should purchase this DVD,sit back or get up and dance with the Master. Long Live Rick James!!!!!
