RICK JAMES
17
Gordy/Promo |
Time has come to celebrate the memory of another one of our true heroes by the likes of the late James Ambrose Johnson Jr better known as Rick James who passed away on 08/06/2004. As a matter of comparizon, everything opposed Barry White to the latest, although they both built their notoriety on the basis of their strong linking, not to say their absolute devotion to the thema of relationships. White choosing to talk about feelings surrounded by raffinated arrangements with James being more in yer face both lyrically and rhythmically speaking ; this being for much to his reputation as one of the all time most influential funksters. Considered as one of his biggest classics alongside ‘Superfreak’, ‘Cold Blooded’ and ‘You & I’, this poignant song perfectly depicts the inner dilemna of a mature man also reknown for his sexual obsessions, confronted to the presence of an attractive teenager – 17 years old - over a hard synthesized bassline.
