Neil has always been a funky dude with total soul and meeting Rick James was a match made in Heaven. Then Rick got busted by Navy Mps for being AWOL!6 years ago

Legend has it that Motown was reluctant to release this as a single because the supposedly "original" song sounded a little too much like Them's "Little Girl" for comfort...6 years ago

I once had a tape of 10 songs that they did one better than the next. They were all live. I've been searching for that music for the last 25 years. If anyone knows how to get a hold of the songs I'd be greatly grateful.8 years ago
