Rick James later made ludicrous attempts to keep up with Prince, but on 1981's
Street Songs he stands in no one's shadow. This is, of course, the album that gave us "Super Freak," but James also scores with several funk protest numbers, including the bitter "Mr. Policeman" and the celebratory "Below the Funk (Pass the J)." Prince ended up running a much longer way with the "punk funk" ball; still, James executed more than one or two good plays here. The new deluxe edition adds 12-inch mixes of "Give It to Me Baby" and "Super Freak" as well as a second disc featuring previously unreleased live material recorded in Long Beach, California, in July, 1981.

Songs from the Street, the boxed set that stretches back to "Sesame Street's" 1969 debut, is the kids' record of the year, if not the decade: Big Bird and the gang might've pulled it off themselves--for a crew of fix-it store workers, shopkeeps, and goofball monsters, the talent quotient's off the charts--but when you've got this many names to drop, they've got to land somewhere. What impresses most in three discs is the lack of a single thud. Cab Calloway, Pete Seeger, and James Taylor mosey in on disc one; Johnny Cash, BB King, and Tony Bennett take seats on the stoop for disc two; and the Dixie Chicks, Gloria Estefan, and R.E.M. raise the brownstone roof on disc three--and that's leaving out stars like Lena Horne, Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, and Trisha Yearwood. When it comes to inspiring preschoolers and their parents to sing the praises of rubber duckies, bein' green, and the people in their neighborhood; "The Street" gets busy. --Tammy La Gorce

Great cd set.......2007-07-30
This set of 3 CD's had a great mix of classic and contempary Sesame Street songs.
I'd rather just the first 10 years, thanks.......2007-05-26
About half the songs are the original television versions. But the liner notes for the other half list them as being "from" other COMPILATIONS released in the 1990s.
Nowhere is it stated whether those compilations used the original versions or re-recordings, so who knows? Even the TITLE theme is not the original (It might be the version they use nowadays, but it's not the version most people know from the 70s).
Sesame should have just used the original TV versions of all tracks as that's what collectors of vintage material would be looking for (and paying quite a lot for).
They also should have focused more on the early years when the show was the most innovative. And as music was a major element, I'm sure there's a lot more material that could have been used, particularly those odd demonstrational songs about the number 5 or the letter R. Instead they've focused on the celebrity guests, most of whom don't really add much value.
I personally hoped there'd be that funky counting to ten song that featured on almost every episode (not the Pinball one, which I love too).
Disappointing, but until a better option comes along, this will have to do.
A great buy, you'll play this over and over........2007-03-15
I bought this when my daughter was born, and two years later she still asks for them to be played. The set contains three CDs, on which are collected famous songs, and ditties from the Sesame Street show...favorites like C is for Cookie, Healthy, Happy Monsters performed by famous groups like REM and more. The songs are not just kid friendly, adults will enjoy the refreshing take on some old favorites too:)
An All-Round Pleaser.......2007-02-15
I have always loved the music from Sesame Street, and as I have gotten older I have found that the next generation loves it just as much as I have, whether it be the older or newer songs. Since I bought this album, I have had it regularly playing at my sons' request. Funnily enough, anyone who walks in to our house smiles when they hear the music, ask what the album is, then sit back and enjoy it all - regardless of whether they have ever watched Sesame Street or not. Furry and real voices have universal appeal whatever the age of the listener! A beautiful album.
Childhood Renewed.......2007-01-09
If you grew up on Sesame Street - or just want some music for kids that isn't annoying - this is the box set for you! The songs are clever, amusing, lively, and educational. We bought it for ourselves as a trip down memory lane before our son was born - and since then it has been our favorite baby shower or first birthday gift! Everyone who has it loves it!

Customer Reviews:
good memories for me and fun "new" songs for my children.......2007-06-27
We had ordered this for "The Dukes of Hazzard" theme song for our 4yr old and our whole family has fallen in love with the cd. It makes me want to share some of the old fun and simple shows with my children. I forgot about some of those shows. It brings back good memories for my husband and me and the songs are new and exciting for our children. It's a nice change from children's cd's, but our children still think it's fun. The sound quality is good and the songs included on the cd are a great mix. I would definately recommend this one.
memories.......2007-02-22
This cd is excellent it has a lot of very good music and true to the original sound, Am getting a lot of enjoyment,highly recomended
TV Theme Songs.......2007-01-13
This is a great CD for people who watch a lot of TV -especially TV LAND and reruns of old shows when shows had actual theme songs. I took the CD to work and everyone loved trying to figure out what show the songs were from.
TV themes.......2006-07-05
Not all what I expected, not all of the tunes are the original recordings you remember as the TV themes.
Deja Vu.......2006-02-17
Listening to these familiar themes as performed by the original artists certainly brings back wonderful memories! I was particularly pleased, not only with the quality of the pieces, but with the actual performances themselves, just as we remembered them!

At a moment when mainstream music is clogged with a surfeit of stale, formulaic songs and huge egos, Dan Zanes has found the Drano. Family Dance, his second kids' record (after the fab Rocket Ship Beach), again comes through with big-name helpers--Sandra Bernhard, Rosanne Cash, and Loudon Wainwright III among them--but instead of assembling a mixed bag of self-important numbers, Zanes, who produced and plays on all but one of 15 tracks, maintains a cohesive vibe that's low-key and playful. Yet here's a disc that's all over the map, genre-wise. Gruffster Rankin' Don, a.k.a. Father Goose, rasta-raps his way through "The Hokey Pokey" and "Skip to My Lou," the Sandy Girls carry us off to a colorful Caribbean village for "Linstead Market," Cash folks up "Fooba Wooba John," and Leadbelly's "Rock Island Line" makes a stop in Memphis bluesland. Zanes's originals--"Jump Up," "Wonder Wheel," and "Thrift Shop," performed as a duet with Bernhard--manage to be wholesome, happy, and hip all at once, no mean feat. But it's the music making on Family Dance that impresses most of all. Fiddles, beatboxes, mandolins, tubas, banjos, and concertina elbow their way onto these tracks, and they're balanced by Zanes's arrangements and backup singer Barbara Brousal's graceful voice and guitar work. Kids 2 and up will be likewise captivated by the chunky board-book packaging, again with original artwork. --Tammy La Gorce
Album Description
this is the follow up to the acclaimed "rocket ship beach" cd. it's the hip handmade sound of dan zanes and his friends bringing acoustic and electric guitars, fiddles, drums, harmonicas, mandolins, accordions, banjos, tamborines, and voices together for a mixture of traditional and original songs that can be danced to or just listened to depending on the occation. this is 21st century folk music made with the whole family in mind. special guests include Rosanne Cash, Loudon Wainwright lll, The Sandy Girls, Barbara Brousal, Sandra Bernhard, Rankin' Don aka Father Goose, and the Rubi Theatre Company.
Customer Reviews:
Two weeks..........2007-06-12
It took us two weeks to find out what our daughter was happily going around the house singing (3 at the time). And finally Sesame Street came on, and she said her song was on. It was 'Mailti' by Dan Zanes, and once that was
on my daughter just danced and sang away.
Since then we have embraced Dan's music into our family music circle. The lyrics are clean and catchy, and the rythm is simple enough for even a child to keep up with.
Most tracks are ok, but the two by "Father Goose" are awful........2007-05-04
My son loves the music, but the singing by "Father Goose" is unbearably nasal and off-pitch on "Holey Pokey" and "Skip to My Lou".
Those two tracks make me cringe and I skip them every time my son plays the CD. However, several songs are wonderfully musical. For example, Linstead Market is just delightful.
Let yourself go..........2007-04-14
T. Bittner from Peroria should read her review again.
"My kids seem to like it (the ones I don't hit the skip button for) but I am not going to sacrifice myself when there are plenty of other recordings that they and I both like."
If you don't want to 'sacrifice' once in a while and let your kids grow and find what they like, leave the room. A little fun and free expression is what childhood is all about! Sometimes it is about what they like. This is how they find out who THEY are.
Overall, my son likes the music. It is especially fun to waltz with him in my arms to 'Streets of New York'. Thanks to Dan Zanes, my son can find out it is fun to mix the old with the new.
hard for Mom to tolerate.......2007-02-19
I love folk music, but this CD contains only 2 songs that I like and only 2 others that I can even tolerate. My kids seem to like it (the ones I don't hit the skip button for) but I am not going to sacrifice myself when there are plenty of other recordings that they and I both like.
Why don't I like it? Zanes has a croak similar to Bob Dylan's; with all due respect to Dylan's great songwriting, I don't enjoy his singing. Zane's friends vary in talent but none of them seem able to harmonize together. The songs in a minor key are particularly grating, such as "All Around the Kitchen" which many people seem to like, though I can't see why. The instrumentation is nothing special either. Don't buy this just because you like the song "Jump Up" from Sesame Street; you should listen before you buy to make sure the rest of it matches your taste.
House Party and Family Dance.......2007-02-18
If you are looking for something different from the typical childrens music, this is it. My family has been addicted to Laurie Berkner since the summer and we needed something different. We are enjoying Dan Zanes so much. We find ourselves singing and dancing along in our kitchen and our van. This afternoon we were listening to Waltzing Matilda and my 4 year old daughter stopped playing and announced that her grandpa would love to dance to this song! We also love all the spanish that is mixed into the music. We like to try and guess what they are singing about. I am so glad we have added them to our collection.

Great CD for the car..........2007-02-13
My son loves all of the sesame street songs. When we're stuck in traffic or on a long car ride, this is a great CD to listen to.
Great All Around CD.......2007-01-03
I would reccomend this CD just for the Little Piggy song itself. My kids go crazy when they hear it. All the others are good standards too. We own the DVD of the same title so they can make the connection btw the two. All songs have the SS characters in it, so it sounds authentic to the show.
have NOT received it.......2006-03-15
i would review it if i got it. come on guys. i placed the order on 1/6/06.
Great Variety of Music.......2005-11-19
The CD contains a little bit of everything, but all songs familiar to my daughter.
A Must for All Ages!!!.......2004-01-17
My 3 month old loves to listen to all types of music. I am a working mother, so when I pick him up at daycare, I have chores that need to be done when I get home. I put this CD in, and it keeps my son happy and occupied while he listens to Elmo and his friends. I play this CD over and over again! It is fantastic since most of the songs are ones I grew up with, and I know the words, so he can hear my voice singing along. I love dancing and singing with my son, and I even catch my husband singing along. It is A MUST HAVE for ALL Ages!!

If your kids seem more like couch potatoes than jumping beans, then this lively dance album is sure to get them on their feet. The entire Sesame Street cast participates in this high-spirited album that includes "Me Lost Me Cookie at the Disco" with lead vocals by Cookie Monster, "The Lambaba!" featuring the Count counting lambies, and the finger-snapping "Happy Tappin' with Elmo." Hot! Hot! Hot! is great fun and invites interactive movement but still retains strong educational values that parents and children can enjoy together. --Deborah Moore

Hot Hot Hot Dance Songs - Sesame Street.......2007-07-03
We purchased this CD for our two year old son who has Down Syndrome. He absolutely loves it! As soon as he hears it, he starts moving his arms back and forth (his dancing). I highly recommend it for any child who loves music and Sesame Street.
Sesame Street rocks!.......2007-06-27
Baby loves these active songs. Parents can move along with baby. Much more exciting than lullabyes.
Sesame Street ROCKS.......2007-01-15
I'm the mother of 3 children ages 12, 5 and 2 years old. Even though I purchased this for my 2 year old who is a fanatic of Sesame Street especially Elmo and Ernie, my entire family enjoy the songs and sing along. Yes...even my husband who loves the Mambo song. My 12 year old wants to add the songs to her IPOD. Wonderful addition to our music library.
I was not thrilled.......2006-11-02
The songs just did not get me dancing. I have to say I was disappointed. But I love Kids Favorite Songs VOl 2 but was never able to buy it as it was not available
Very Entertaining!.......2006-03-10
My son has just become a huge Sesame Street fan, but I didn't want to constantly plop him in front of the tv to give him his "Elmo" fix, so I decided to buy him this CD. I was hoping it would help him laugh, dance, and have fun with the characters without zoning out at the screen. And it has! He loves the CD and likes dancing along...especially to Happy Tappin' With Elmo.
The first few times that I played the CD he kept staring at the screen on the tv to see where the characters were, but now he just yells out their names when he recognizes the voice. Very cute!

Best of the the popular Copland..........2004-12-26
Here's a great introduction to the popular music of Aaron Copland. When "Fanfare for the Common Man" begins, sparks of recognition will fly for most listeners. This song has been everywhere: presidential inaugurations, the olympics, commercials, movies, etc. Some flatten it as hopelessly clichéd, while others find it moving and inspiring. Copland also reprised it in the finale of his Third Symphony. Arguably Copland's most famous piece, "Appalachian Spring" closes the CD. In between, more great Copland: excerpts from 'Rodeo' (apparently the beef lobby has appropriated "Hoe-Down" as one of their themes); a great vocal rendition of "Simple Gifts" and a large chunk of another of Copland's best known works: "Billy the Kid". The only confusing piece is the "Variations on a Shaker Hymn" from Appalachian Spring when the entire Appalachian Spring is already included. Seems slightly redundant.
Though most of the pieces on this CD were written in the 1930s and 1940s, they tend to evoke the old west. With titles such as "Rodeo" and "Billy the Kid" this shouldn't surprise too many people.
Copland went on to compose more dissonant and twelve tone compositions later on in his career. These obviously weren't as popular with the public in general as the pieces on this CD. Nonetheless, if this disc whets the appetite, a foray into Copland's less popular works will yield much. It will help to expose the totality of Copland's output. This disc only represents a small portion of his work. Regardless, this disc is a great starting point for getting to know one of the United States' best known composers of the twentieth century.
A Great American Album.......2004-02-13
This is a great album representing true patriotic American music. Songs like "Hoe-Down" are lively and energetic and give rememberance to what one can imagine as the true American spirit.
Must have this one..........2002-09-17
I like all types of music, I wanted this album because I liked the song "RODEO" that is used on the beef commercials. This CD has made me into a Copland fan. It has many great songs. If you want a CD that says "I am an American." This is it. I am sending copies to a friend in Bombay and Tel Aviv. This is who I am put to music.

Exactly what it should be.......2006-11-05
This album is a nice way for kids and parents to practice Spanish words together, and get used to the sound of the language.
Great CD!.......2006-10-28
This CD is fantastic. My 14 month old daughter loves to listen to it and so do I. Even my mom wants a copy. You don't have to have a child to enjoy this music. Every single song on this CD is fabulous and very catchy. The songs are about 80% english, 20% spanish.
I don't think it's great but my kid loves it!.......2006-05-28
Some of the accents are terrible and there is FAR more English than Spanish (the songs sung by Elmo and Rosita are a little painful to listen to!). BUT, my daughter (3) loves it. When our first copy was stolen out of our car, she asked for it so many times that I had to go out and get another one. Still, if you really want your child to be exposed to Spanish I think there are better options.
Awesome CD.......2005-04-20
I need to buy another one of these CDs because mine is worn out! I teach Spanish to preschoolers(2-5)and they love these songs. The lyrics are fun to sing and it's great for dancing. This has been the best bilingual CD for kids that I've found so far.
Excellent children's intro to Spanish.......2004-08-27
This is a standard play in our home. My kids LOVE the way the character's repeat each Spanish sentence after Luis, Bob, Maria and the Muppets. The songs are catchy and infectious. We love to listen to this one in the afternoon, and after a lively session of sing along and dancing, it's off for naptime! Buy the video too, it's fun and festive and will give your little ones a taste of Spanish culture. A must have for every Elmo and Sesame Street fan!

Customer Reviews:
some brilliant renditions, but can't quite all mix together.......2006-10-19
I like the spirit of this album, which is to let the music of Kurt Weill attach itself to the many worlds it came from. This was classical music that also used elements of popular music at the time, all with a very dark and almost mechanical tone. So it would seem fitting to have exquisite voices like Teresa Stratas rub elbows with darker elements like Nick Cave in this collection. There are also the jazz influences developed by Charlie Haden and Betty Carter.
In all, there are some brilliant interpretations of Weill here. I am a fan of Cave's "Mack the Knife" and David Johansen's "Alabama Song," and how can someone NOT like Lotte Lenya herself on "Pirate Jenny" and the drolling of the immortal William S. Burroughs talking through "What Keeps Mankind Alive?"
But other tracks feel to be just too short of brilliance. I love that Lou Reed tries to turn "September Song" into a kind of rock ballad, almost a VU "It Was a Pretty Good Year," but the rendition seems a little short of energy and falls flat after a while. Elvis Costello, though magnificent as an overall artist, just doesn't bring new life to "Lost in the Stars."
Perhaps the problem in the end that the choices were a little too much of the Top 40 Weill (if there really can be such a term). These are songs that have for a long time been regarded as the best of Weill, and it might have furthered the purpose of his music to find new gems and bring them into the sunlight.
Cool and Camp.......2006-08-24
This is a very biased review- I originally had much of Weill's work on cassette tape- way back in the olden days- before CD's- so I am already very partial to many of the tracks on this CD- I would recommend it not only to Kurt Weill fans, and the fans of the various artists featured, but I would also strongly recommend this to anyone who likes artsy, camp, fun burlesque, Bohemian European stuff. The record, even though performed by contemporary artists still retains much of it's zeitgeist, it evokes the era in which Weill was writing and it rounds out any great eclectic record collection. It's a great musical discovery for fans of all sorts of genres, and EVERYONE should own at least one recorded arrangement of "Mack The Knife". (You know, for parties and stuff!)
September Song Music of Kurt Weill.......2006-08-22
Songs from the film-documentary done by various artists. Excellent choice if you like Mr Weill's music. I saw the film and always wanted the CD. Now I have and I recommend it highly.
It's a long time between January and December.......2004-06-11
Kurt Weill is one of those composers who juggles Jewish angst with Catholic guilt: and possibly vice versa. As a collection, it is nonpareil. Each interpretation becomes a definitive reading of the "song". Lord, it is one of the best assemblies of contemporary artists going. Lou couldn't be better; Ms O'Hara, in fine form, performs her deranged puppet-dance to the X. OK. An unknown. Roping-in, such a postmodern figure as, well, you-know-who, to orate Weill's lyrics is never less than exceptional. An amazing collection. Is there a DVD?
Paul
Ain't we Hip?!!?.......2003-07-23
This is the avant version of these songs, everything done with that Downtown fingers-across-the-blackboard screech. They even got Johanson doing it, which is no less than amazing. The sole exception is the Persuasions' "O Heavenly Salvation", but one song does not an album make.
The mystery here is that there's a perfectly good compilation from the 80s, "Lost in the Stars: the Music of Kurt Weill", featuring many of the same songs--and, if I'm not mistaken some of the same performers. That's the one you want. Too bad it's OP.

Rick James later made ludicrous attempts to keep up with Prince, but on 1981's Street Songs he stands in no one's shadow. This is, of course, the album that gave us "Super Freak," but James also scores with several funk protest numbers, including the bitter "Mr. Policeman" and the celebratory "Below the Funk (Pass the J)." Prince ended up running a much longer way with the "punk funk" ball; still, James executed more than one or two good plays here. The new deluxe edition adds 12-inch mixes of "Give It to Me Baby" and "Super Freak" as well as a second disc featuring previously unreleased live material recorded in Long Beach, California, in July, 1981. --Rickey Wright

Old Times(Good Times) Revisited...........2006-08-25
This record is what made Rick James a bona fide superstar as well as earning him his status as an innovator in R&B music as he carefully crafted his music and career moving from the late 1970's into his prime during the early 1980's. I remember when the first single; "Give It To Me Baby", launched on radio; an instant 'hit' with its' rolling bassline, squiggling synthesizers, and spittin' horns(it was the first song I ever heard played back in 'surround' sound - and a great tune to demo any audio system with); followed by the album which also rapidly climbed up the charts. Then "Super Freak" quickly put him into the "a cut above" class and served as a template for much of what came later in the funk/rock genre and led up to the rap/hip-hop explosion which followed it. Much of the focus on James' career and music centered on the negative aspects and his personal problems as he tried to live the "bad boy" image and lifestyle he chronicled through his music. But with this deluxe reissue of his strongest studio album and the long - withheld live recording of the Rick James/Teena Marie/Stone City Band tour package that followed the album's release; you now get both sides of this multi - talented artist's total spectrum; both as a performer and a savvy studio producer/singer/musician - and controversial rebel; before that became the fashionable mode of promoting a musical career(although Prince worked it better than anyone else). The comparisons between the two 'revolutionaries' will always be made; however; since both artists employed the same basic marketing strategy and both effectively mined the funk/rock movement pioneered by Sly & The Family Stone in the late 60's(another one of rock's icons who parlayed his 'bad boy image' into commercial success). But while Prince delved into his personal self - created fantasy explorations in his studio productions; 'Slick Rick' focused more on his own life experiences growing up on the streets; as writer's material. And this record was his 'personal' musical statement; preserved for all to reflect on as we now move into the next millenium. This disc; more so than his other releases; best showed his maturity and growth; especially as a writer and vocalist(besides being a multi - instrumentalist and producer of his own albums and other artists as well); where in just eight tracks he covers numerous social topics along with, naturally; 'dancin' and 'romancin'. The additional disc of one of his live shows is a real bonus; and particularly memorable for me as well. I saw basically the same performance that's on the music CD; but at a different venue(in San Bernardino)on that summer's tour(the music video released recently is a slightly different presentation of nearly the same lineup of songs; recorded a while later). I had purchased a ticket for the show - but I unexpectedly bumped into a musical compatriot whose own band had recently signed with Motown(I'd helped out during some rehearsals)and was opening as the warmup act on several of the tour stops; but didn't have an engineer that night to handle the sound mix - so he grabbed me before I could make my way to the front entrance; hustled me backstage and got me a stage pass - I sold my ticket - went inside and mixed the 45-minute warmup set(and got some great backstage photos, to boot!) - then went out in front and enjoyed Rick & Teena's performance afterwards - and both acts were on fire that night! If you want one album(or the combo with the video)that epitomizes Rick James' musical impact and fully delivers on the 'punk funk' experience - either way; this is the real deal!
"PASS THE R!".......2006-02-12
Rick James is tha man!! Street Songs was his strongest lp, allowing Superfreak to reach the top 20 in the billboard as well as #4 on the R&B charts. "TEMPTATIONS SING!" Hammer really ruined it 9 years latter and Rick should have continued to get money from him. Give It To Me Baby (#1 R&B) and Ghetto Life are dancable tracks far from the disco scene, but my favorite from here is definitely Below The Funk (Pass The J) - Reppin' his hometown in this 2 and a half minute funky lp track. Fire & Desire with Teena Marie was what sparked Fire & definitley Desire for the whole album. Too bad this was never a single, but it is probaly the most famous lp track by the ol' boy Rick James!
Just git this cd!!! "It's a Celebration!!!"
Hands down, the best.......2004-10-01
With the release of 1981's "Street Songs", The king of Funk,the late, great Rick James was catapulted into superstardom, and now his memory is etched forever into the hearts and minds of millions of loyal followers. This is one of, if not THE best album of the 80s in the R&B/Pop genres, in addition to Prince's "Purple Rain". While people compare Rick James to Prince, and I am hooked on both, there is NO comparison, since each artist has his own unique ways of presentation. 23 years later, I still play this album, and it sounds as fresh and new as the first day I bought it. Possibly one of the best duets of all time, Rick and the lovely Ms. Teena Marie's "Fire and Desire" is reason enough alone to get this masterpiece. F&D is stunning, intoxicating and mezmerizing like no other duet. In the song "Ghetto Life". Rick tells it like it is, not based on fantasy, but his own personal reality. Despite the trials and tribulations that plagued his life, Rick is a legend, and always will be. Get this album while it is still readily available. Mr James may be physically gone, but he will always live in us through his music.
Incredible live cd...motown bad decision.......2004-09-22
Motown bad decision not to release this CD much earlier is really all their fault. What an incredible package I will admit, but the live CD should have been released much earlier. Now I wonder what kind of material is out there of Teena Marie and other Rick James' albums promoting Glow or The Flag or the Mary Jane Girls.
RICK JAMES WAS IN A LEAGUE BY HIMSELF.......2004-08-21
I LOVE PRINCE,, BUT DO NOT ,, DO NOT,, MAKE SUCH AN ABSURED COMMENT LIKE RICK WAS IN PRINCE'S SHADOWS. FOR THE PEOPLE WHOM RICK MADE HIS MUSIC FOR,, HE IS THE KING OF PUNK FUNK. YOU HAD TO HAVE REALLY BEEN THERE. FROM THE SUMMER OF 1978 TO 1984, RICK JAMES MUSIC OWNED THE HOOD NIGHT CLUBS AND DISCO'S. NOTHING GOT A PARTY JUMPING FASTER. I MET MY FUTURE WIFE SLOW DANCING AT RANDOM AT NTC SAN DIEGO TO FIRE AND DESIRE. RICK JAMES PUT DOWN THE FUNK. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE RICK JAMES AND LISTEN TO HIM 69 TIMES (INSIDE JOKE TO THOSE WHO REALLY LOVED HIS MUSIC) RICK JAMES WAS A WESTCOAST PHENONEMON. AND HIS MUSIC REPRESENTS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA MORE THAN ANY OTHER ARTIST.
