Love this album. Tragic story but great music.

The late Rick James first love was the fine art of jazz music. He eventually found his calling in the field of funk and soul. In 1981, James released "Street Songs", which goes down in Motown history as quite possibly the greatest funk album ever released. This album stayed on top of the R&B charts for over 5 months, and was fueled by the the #1 mega hits "Give It To Me", and "Superfreak", which dominated the pop charts all summer long in 1981. This album had no trouble crossing over to the playlists of middle America Radio airwaves. This is some of the best dance music ever waxed and although his career did not have the longevity everyone expected due to a multitude of personal problems, Rick James for one year, ruled the pop world. He took a little from George Clinton's style, and passed on his own influence to such pop stars as Prince. This cd contains two bonus tracks that are extended dance mixes of his big hits "Superfreak" and "Give It To Me". An array of stars play supporting roles like Stevie Wonder,Teena Marie and three members of the Temptations, most notably the bass voice of the late Melvin Franklin. With a bargain price attached to this classic album, the purchase of this cd is a no brainer if you were one of those souls who fondly remember the dance clubs of 1981.

Nice.

That's Rick James wonderful music good Entertainer sorry he's not here anymore

This is a good album. I like that the vinyl edition came with autodownload through Amazon that let you get a live album in addition to the original release. If you do not have this it is definitely worth your money.

I'll try to keep this short. If you are a fan of funk, soul, or any type of great music overall, buy this album. This is what a superb musical product sounds like. From the first track, "Give It To Me Baby", this LP takes you on an ethereal ride and never lets up. Rick's voice was so unique and strong, and his band kept the grooves tight and organic. The funk numbers like "Ghetto Life" and "Super Freak", coupled with tender lover staples like "Fire & Desire" makes this LP a must have. R.I.P Rick James.

This album is a classic, it has a calming effect along with the funk element which I find uplifting, perfect as a pick me up.

comment dire en une vingtaine de mots que généralement quand vous commander un CD, et dés que vous en faite l’acquisition, vous n'avez que une hâte, c'est de passer à l'écoute.

En Klassiker wieder aufgelegt auf Vinyl. Sehr gute Idee, denn auch nach soviel Jahren ist dieses Album immer noch toll. Schöner Funk und R&B. Super Freak ist auch heute noch voll Energie. Macht Spaß.

なんといっても「Super Freak」が白眉だが、「Ghetto Life」と「Call Me Up」も個人的にはよかった。それにしても「Super Freak」がよすぎてほかが霞む。Rick Jamesの代名詞といってもよいくらい有名な曲だもんね。

Came in really good condition, sounds amazing!
