Rick James played with Neil Young; self-produced his first album (later picked up by Motown); crossed rock and funk to come up with one of the best-selling albums of the 1980s; became one of the biggest pop stars of the era; turned a young white woman named Teena Marie into an RB superstar; displayed an outrageously sex- and drug-filled lifestyle; was tried and found guilty of assaulting and imprisoning a young woman; went on to record new music that was compared to the Beatles White Album; and ended his life as a punch line for Dave Chappelle. James attempted to tell his own story--in two different books--but left out many incidents that showed who he really was. Now; based on court records; newspaper archives; and extensive interviews with dozens of family members; band members; friends; and lovers; here is the definitive biography of Motowns most controversial superstar.
