Album Review

Though his reputation for a reckless life may forever overshadow his creative genius in the public eye, Rick James left behind a massive catalog of productions, collaborations, and original compositions few of his funk-soul contemporaries can touch. This compilation was originally issued in 2000 under the simple title of Anthology and contains James' most well-known anthems, as well as various collaborations regarded as hallmarks of his career. While a more thorough investigation into his career would be well-served with a disc of his production work alone, the performances here are top-notch and most likely the only Rick James disc casual listeners will ever need in their collection.

The Legend...

It's sad that someone as great as Rick James has been reduced to a punch line. He was one of the first Black Rock Star and a super star in his time. As an arranger, producer, musician and singer, Rick James was untouchable. When you listen to many of the stars coming out of that era, including Prince, you hear Rick James. This is an excellent collection of some of his finest work.

Actually, James had been with Motown earlier, though nothing had come of it. After growing up in Buffalo and running away to join the Naval Reserves, he ran away from the Navy to Toronto, where he was in a band with future Buffalo Springfield members Neil Young...
