This is the third biography of Rick James that I have read. It did not disappoint me because because the author used many sources for this book.
When I think of celebrities who are known for something other than what they WERE known for its sad. Michael Jackson great singer and performer and musical ICON known for being a so called child molester BUT found innocent. OJ Simpson GREAT football player now known as a murderer and someone spending the rest of his life in a jail cell because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time (depending on who you believe). Dave Chappelle has a skit showing Rick James playing basketball with Prince (RIP) and we found out it was a TRUE story and the chanting coming out of Ricks mouth ....Cocaine is a hell of a drug and "Im Rick James B****"..LOL. A new generation was introduced to Rick James and this book written by Peter Benjaminson introduces Rick to a new generation.Benjaminson does a good job here albeit there are 2 other books written about Rick...one written by Rick himself. The author could have gone down the tragic road of making James appear to be a victim of his own wrongdoing but he doesnt do that. He talks about James early beginnings and takes us down some shocking turns....meeting and knowing Jim Morrison, Neil Young, being in various groups that are multi racial. When reading his life seems to parallel that of Sly Stones and that is ironic. Both had interracial groups, both were songwriters, and pushed barriers.One thing Benjaminson does that a lot of these types of books DONT do is he chronologically goes through the periods of music and how they charted and what James was doing at that time. For a music lover like me that type of information is GOLD. Some authors use superlatives when reading and this text is user friendly there are no words being used where you dont know the meaning or the context or the author trying to impress you with adjectives that sound William F Buckleyish. Interestingly enough its a good story and you dont wind up feeling sorry for Rick the choices he made were his and some were good some were not but rise to fame is felt. When he is up you are when he is down you are but he was always able to rise to the top and get back up as a person, a musician, and an entertainer. His drive is felt in this book and his pain is as well. When I finished reading this book I felt happy that Rick was able to live his life and give us his the music that is still being played on the radio and sampled. There may be some parts of his life you know about (dating Linda Blair, Teena Marie, drug use) but there is TONS you dont know and that is the great part. Benjamins text is a hell of a book.
One of the best biographies I have ever read. Detailed and thorough, but it's also a swift read. Liked that there were many short chapters; it made it easier to put the book down when I had to stop reading (which I never wanted to do). Wow, did Rick James live an incredible life. His path crossed a who's who list of celebs from the movie and music worlds, and he kept up with him. I had no idea the breadth of music he released in his lifetime and the other groups, such as Teena Marie, the Mary Jane Girls, and the Stone City Band he was involved with. (Loved the story of his early years in the music business playing in a band with Neil Young. Who would have thought it)? That and much much more is revealed in the book. Even if you're a casual Rick James fan, you will learn so much about the music business of the 1970s/80s+. Filled with sex, drugs, rock n'roll and so many stories you have to read to believe. I really enjoyed the book and look forward to more books written by author Peter Benjaminson. I also recommend his books on Florence Ballard and Mary Wells — great Motown history.
It took me a while to get through this book as it is a little like reading a Rick James text book. However, if you're a soul/funk/r&b music lover and information collector, this book will satisfy. I've read some of the David Ritz autobiographies and George Clinton's memoir, and this tome does miss the "channeling of the artist's voice," but includes enough well-researched facts that what it lacks is authentic voice is made up with a feeling of truthfulness untainted by flawed memory. A must read for anyone who thinks MC Hammer invented that sample riff in "Cant' Touch This" or that Rick James' career began on Chappelle Show.
Sociologically an important book, Superfreak captures honestly a segment of culture that, in any depth, is foreign to most Americans. Ricky James's life holds up a disturbing mirror that reflects the distortions of poverty, racism, celebrityhood, and narcissism in our country. The author's non-judgmental style allows the reader to draw his/her own conclusions, which is a major strength of the book.
This book was dry. Confessions of a Superfreak was way better. This book did not have the juiciness of the former. I would skip this book and pick up Confessions of a Superfreak.
Excellent bio of the life and times of one of the biggest funk/r&b/rock stars of all time. A must read for any fan of Mr. Superfreak himself as well any fan of music. Includes a lot of new info/insights not available in other stories of his life. RIP Rick!!
Rick James may have been a talented singer but he was not a very good man and nothing this author writes makes up for that fact, though he valiantly and sometimes ridiculously tries.Let's just say this...regardless of James not being a very good man, there has to be a more entertaining book out there to read than this book.
