"Video is no longer available"
confused
It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

...Early Rick James


=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

With money from Rick’s lawyer, Stan Weisman, James’ new group, Great White Cane, went into the studio to record some demos. That November, the band relocated to Los Angeles where a deal was struck with Lion Records, a subsidiary of MGM. “Rick started dating Columbia president, Clive Davis’ daughter – that’s how they got signed to the label,” says Weisman. Matched with producer Jimmy Ienner, recording ensued at Village Recorders in Century City in February and March 1972.

Having nailed the album and with a reworking of ‘You Make the Magic’ catching airplay, Great White Cane set off on a North American tour opening for BB King. The tour, which kicked off in Vancouver on June 5 with such promise, ran into problems on the first night. “I think we did two songs and the crowd loved us. Then all of a sudden Rick wants to do a cappella version of ‘the Times They-Are-A-Changin’ and he wants to get the crowd to clap along with it,” remembers Ed Roth. “So, he says, ‘Put your hands together. I said put your f*****g hands together’. We lost the crowd every time. We pleaded with him to stop doing that, but this went on show after show after show. It was probably the coke.”

James abandoned the group a few weeks later. “Rick got off the bus in New York and we finished the tour without him,” says Ian Kojima, who went on to work with Chris De Burgh. “On our return to Los Angeles, we were faced with numerous lawsuits stemming from multiple management and publishing contracts that Rick signed.”

Stan Weisman was particularly frustrated by James’ action. “They had all the money behind them, the promotion was going on, the album was about to be released and I think they would have made the top because that was a hell of a band.”
