AVIDIGI

Rick James proved with this album that, his usual problems with drugs abuse at that time did not reduce his ability to write great tunes. Specially remarkable is "Ebony Eyes", a ballad between him and Smokey Robinson, possibly the two least compatible male vocalists around, that proved a big hit. "New York Town" and "P.I.M.P The S.I.M.P."(featuring Grand Master Flash) were good examples that the P-Funk was still alive.
