20th Century Masters: The Best of Rick James (2005)
Share on
Synopsis by Mark Deming
Self-described "King of Punk-Funk" Rick James had an outsized personality and a wardrobe to match, but he also created some of the most memorable dance music of the 1970s and '80s, merging potent hooks with hip-shaking rhythm lines and laying his own freaky persona over the top. James was an artist made for music videos, and this home video collection features clips for "Super Freak" and a handful of other classic tunes from James' peak period as a hitmaker.
