Wow, Rick James is dead. Died at age 56 of cardiac arrest, possibly caused by a cocaine-weakened heart, possibly just natural causes. Respected news sources seem to disagree on the cause of death. I really liked Super Freak but I was not a big fan or anything. But this news still seems really sad to me. Rumor was that Rick James was working on his autobiography and there was talk about Dave Chapelle playing him in the movie adaptation.
