It was announced only 20 minutes ago: Rick James, the man behind the hit single Super Freak and Dave Chapelle’s most-quoted routine, is dead at the age of 56.
I have got to get me boots like those.
Super Freak was my first “signature song” when I started DJing at Clark Hall Pub at Crazy Go Nuts University: when you heard Rick singing “She’s a very kinky giiiiirl…”, you knew that I was manning the booth.
Thanks for the music, Rick!

This is truly a loss. Rick had very strong ties to Accordion City, having founded his career here in the 70's. I'm playing at Healey's tonight, and we'll see if we can't fit in a tribute of some sort.
On the positive side, the jam in the afterlife keeps getting hipper!
Cheers,
