Rick James was a popular Funk and R&B singer in the late 1970s and early 80s who had a string of hits, including his signature song "Super Freak." While it was James' music that helped make him a star, his reputation as a hard partying Rock star quickly overshadowed his musical success. After his career started to wane in the 1990s, James was convicted on multiple drug and assault charges - including one that earned him two years in state prison. While James attempted a comeback in later life, he never achieved the success of his early stardom.
