Great perfomances I never saw!Reviewed by Christopher, 2009-10-04
This is good to see his performances. You more or less get the full idea of what Rick James was about. The only flaws are the quality of the TV show performances. While not bad, they are not pristine either. I comapre it to The Temptations "Get Ready" DVD where you had video from the mide 60's to the mid 70's and they all looked like they were filmed yesterday! The Rick james DVD was from the late 70's to the 80's and it was not the finest quality, but not bad either. The ONLY BAD video was the "Ebony Eyes" video. One of the reason I bought this is because everytime I find a verison on the net, it is and old "Video Soul" VHS low quality copy. Sadly, that is what we get here! The other official vidoes are DVD quality. Still worht a buy.
RICK!Reviewed by D. A. OWENS, 2009-09-11
If you are a fan of Rick's, this will bring back a ton of memories. Even though his lip sincing sucks!

Rick James LoverReviewed by Music Video Lover, 2009-06-02
This dvd is not the best. Although it allows you to see Rick from a very young musician until he hit the big time, I expected a little more insight on Rick -- maybe a little more upclose and personal. If you need a reason to buy this dvd, then buy it for the mere fact that the Temptations ("Standing On The Top") perform with Rick -- which is the best segment of the dvd. The dvd is worth the purchase simply because of this performance; otherwise, pass it by.
Great material about Rick JamesReviewed by funkazoid rex, 2009-04-30
It is until today the most complete collection of material about the king of Punk Funk a.k.a Rick James.
