Rick James Dies at Age 56

May he rest in peace...

Funk legend Rick James, best known for the 1981 hit 'Super Freak' before his career disintegrated amid drug use and violence that sent him to prison, died Friday at age 56.
James died in his sleep at his home near Universal City, publicist Sujata Murthy said. The singer lived alone and was found by his personal assistant, who notified police."
