Rick James' tombstone erected
I'm Rick James' ... Ditch!
Posted Aug 10th 2006 12:35PM by TMZ Staff
Filed under: Music, Wacky and Weird
Call it Rick James' final impression. A massive two ton jet-black tombstone, bearing an image of the funk legend clad in tight pants, jacket and clutching a guitar, was erected Sunday at his grave site in Buffalo, NY. The grand unveiling marked the second anniversary of James' death.
The etching comes from a photo taken for his 1981 hit album "Street Songs," which included "Give It to Me Baby" and "Super Freak." The album sold three million copies and propelled him to superstar status.
Under his portrait are lyrics to an unreleased song:
"I'VE HAD IT ALL
I'VE DONE IT ALL
I'VE SEEN IT ALL
IT'S ALL ABOUT LOVE . . .
GOD IS LOVE."

Re: Rick James' tombstone erected
I love Rick James...he was a wild sonofabitch, but an awesome, funky great musical one! I love that duet he did with Teena Marie "Fire and Desire". That song is hot and his music so reminds me of my teens in the early 1980's. He'll always be a favorite.

^^I just saw Dave Chappelle's 'Behind the Music' (or something like that) spoof of Rick James and just laughed my ass off. Totally hilarious!
