American vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, composer, producer. Born: 1 February 1948 in Buffalo, New York, USA. Died: 6 August 2004 in Burbank, California, USA (aged 56). Growing up in the Buffalo ghetto as the third oldest child in a family of eight, by age 14 he already had legal troubles. In 1964 James went AWOL from the Navy because it interfered with his music career, and he fled to Canada for a few years. His first band, formed in the 1960's with future [a=Steppenwolf] member [a=Nick St. Nicholas] was initially called the Sailor Boys, but soon changed their name to [a=The Mynah Birds]. He also formed the blues band The Main Line, and was singing and writing in [a=The Great White Cane]. In 1977 he formed the [a=Stone City Band]. His first album “Come Get It,” reached position #3 on the R&B charts, “You and I,” went gold in September and “Mary Jane," a barely-disguised hymn to marijuana, hit US R&B #3 in October 1977. He also helped launch the [a=Mary Jane Girls] in the mid-1980s. Rick James is also credited for establishing the “Punk Funk,” style. On the morning of August 6th, 2004, James was found dead in his Burbank, California home. He died from pulmonary and cardiac failure with his various health conditions of diabetes, stroke, a pacemaker and a heart attack.

LYRICS

You And I
We Fit Together Like A Glove On Hand,Thats Right
And Dont You Know
That I Would Gladly Take You Anywhere You Wanted To Go
You And Me
We Are As Close As Two Part Harmony, Wouldnt You Agree
And Given The Chance
Our Romance In The End Would Surely Be The End Of Me

(Some People Must Say Im Infatuated With You
I Dont Care 'cause They Really Dont Know
They'll Never See Or Hear The Things I Do With You
So Far As Im Concerned They All Can Go To Hell
Doo,Doo-Doo,Doo,Doo
Doo,Doo-Doo,Doo,Doo)

You And I
Will Be Together 'til The Six Is Nine, Thats Right
And When You Need Me
I Never Hesitate, I Always Come-Its So Much Fun
You And I
Although We're Poor Our Love Has Greater Wealth Than Hughes Himself
And Given The Chance
That Theres An Afterlife When We Die, Its With You And I

(Some People Must Say Im Frustrated With You
I Dont Care 'cause They Really Dont Know
They'll Never See Or Hear The Things I Do With You
So Far As Im Concerned They All Can Go To Hell
Doo,Doo-Doo,Doo,Doo
Doo,Doo-Doo,Doo,Doo)
