Rick James performs "You and I/Super Freak" live at the Farm Aid concert in Austin, Texas on July 4, 1986. Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp in 1985 to keep family farmers on the land and has worked since then to make sure everyone has access to good food from family farmers. Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's board of directors in 2001.

Farm Aid's performances are donated by the artists in order to raise funds and raise awareness for family farmers. They've raised their voices to help - what can you do?

Rick James was just plain talented! He helped many people with their careers. Like many artists, drugs prevented him from becoming the SUPERSTAR that he could have been, like Prince, MJ, or Freddy Mercury. Rick James and his career faltered by the late 80s. But, I still love his music and appreciate his contributions.

@gpmcd1044 8 лет назад

Whatever dude, this performance was s train wreck. He can't figure out what button to push on the keyboard (not just once, but twice), he doesn't realize there's no backup singers there to sing the chorus, then he tries desperately to get the crowd hyped up by singing various different lines from more popular songs and the crowd's just like "WTF!?". If you think this was a good performance, you're higher than he was.

All were talented multi-instrumentalist who could sing, write, mix, arrange, produce and play all of the own material. I challenge anyone to produce 3 other artist with more talent and shitload of hit records as these 3 collectively. Ridiculous.

Never saw him in concert but did see him everyday when he was an inmate at the prison that I worked at in SoCal (late 90s). He used to ask permission to come to my dorm to help anther inmate with his music on his Casio keyboard. I saw him again after he was released while standing in line at a reggae concert in L.A. He briskly walked by me and the people at the door let him in early. didn't see him in the audience later.

Just because was sweating in this video doesn't mean he was high at the time. As an experienced live performer, I've performed on stages where there was no air conditioning nor fans. Rick James was an energetic performer who also danced a bit on stage as well as prance around on it. That type of performance can also cause the artist to sweat quite a bit especially when there's nothing onstage to cool them down.
