Rick James was a true larger than life character, as famous for his electric live performances as he was for the trouble he got into off stage. He arrived on the Motown label in the late seventies and reinvigorated the company with a string of hit singles and albums and his outrageous style and personality. This concert filmed for the German TV series Rockpalast came on the back of his multi-platinum selling 1981 album “Street Songs” which contained what would become his signature track “Super Freak”, later converted by MC Hammer into the global hit “U Can’t Touch... This”. Rick James died at the age of just 56 in August 2004. We will probably never see his like again but this DVD shows just what an amazing live performer he was.

Live performance from the late funk, rock and R 'n' B musician Rick James. As famous for his outrageous off-stage capers as his work on it, James was nonetheless a popular and influential musician during his 1980s heyday. When he was signed to the famous Motown label in the late 1970s it was in decline, but James revived its fortunes with a number of hit singles, perhaps most famously 'Super Freak', later re-recorded by MC Hammer as 'U Can't Touch This'. This release, filmed for German TV, captures James in performance in support of the 1981 album, 'Street Songs', to which 'Super Freak' belonged.
