He called his sound “punk-funk”—a fusion that defined a generation and paved the way for countless artists across genres. Whether it was tearing up the stage in leather and lace or producing hits for others behind the scenes, Rick James left a mark as bold as his persona.

On this day in music history: COLD BLOODED was released! Released in 1983, this Rick James classic pushed boundaries with its synth-driven sound and iconic title track. From raw funk to smooth ballads, the album showed the many sides of the Super Freak himself.
