Rick James Dead at 56

Singer Rick James Dies at 56
Friday, August 06, 2004
LOS ANGELES — Funk legend Rick James (search), best known for the 1981 hit "Super Freak," (search) died Friday, apparently of natural causes, police said. He was 56.

James died at 9:45 a.m. at a residence near Universal City, said Officer Esther Reyes, a Police Department spokeswoman.

"He died apparently of natural causes. We learned of his death after responding to a radio call," Reyes said.

After his big hit, James' fame began to fade as he became embroiled in drugs and legal problems.

James was convicted in 1993 of assaulting two women. The first attack occurred in 1991 when he restrained and burned a young woman with a hot pipe during a cocaine binge at his house in West Hollywood. He was free on bail when the second assault occurred in 1992 in James' hotel room.

James was sentenced to more than two years in state prison.

In 1997, he released a new album, but a year later he suffered a stroke while performing at Denver's Mammoth Events Center, derailing a comeback tour.

He was definitely Super-Freaky....

In his defense, at the time he posted it, it was only headline information, no further text. Might as well merge it with the other thread, TFP Music is a better place for it.

When I posted it there was no story linked worth posting, it was just a headline.

There was, therefore, no url to post either, which is why I said it was being reported on Yahoo. If I had given the url of www.yahoo.com in other times that people clicked on that link, the headline about Rick James would not be there.

In short, I do know how to copy and paste text, and even url's, unfortunately in this case it was not relevant, and therefore such knowledge if of limited use.
