	DVD Talk Review: Rick James: Super Freak Live 1982
		Rick James: Super Freak Live 1982 is a stellar concert showcase that suffers only slightly from some minor technical and cultural glitches.
		He had two massive hits ("Give It to Me Baby" and "Super Freak") and was touring endlessly in support of his newfound celebrity.
		Super Freak Live 1982 has not been remastered into some manner of Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS surround track.

	Freak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is from this kind of embracing of the term that the so-called freak scene developed in the 1960s and 70s.
		A freak is often considered an insulting term for an organism with an abnormality of some kind.
		A natural freak would, supposedly, be a mutant and a made freak would be one who, though not born abnormally, experienced or caused a deliberate change sometime during their life (such as having surgical implants inserted).

	PopMatters Music Feature \| Remembering Rick James
		As a complete composition or simply a looped sample, "Super Freak" became one of the rare tracks to transcend musical boundaries; it grew far larger than a chart topping hit, evolving further into a piece of music's collective consciousness.
		Perhaps the burden of this realization was the impetus for his descent into personal and professional hell, perhaps not, but "Super Freak" provided James with the financial latitude to immerse himself into depths of destructive hedonism that would have felled mere mortals.
		The saddest aspect of the Super Freak saga is that after years of debilitating health and legal problems, James had seemingly found peace as a husband and father, and was performing and recording up until his death.

		Among those firing questions at the Panthers and Patriots yesterday was a guy in fl tights, a green cape and mask who works for Nickelodeon and goes by "Pick Man;" Samantha Hill, a Houston fifth-grader selected to be a correspondent for the Weekly Reader; and Phillips, who also works for Nickelodeon.

	washingtonpost.com: Funk Musician Rick James Dies; Sang 'Super Freak'
		David Campbell, spokesman for the Los Angeles County coroner's office, said the official cause of death is pending the results of a toxicology examination.
		James reached superstar status with his 1981 album "Street Songs," which had partygoers across the country gyrating to the hits "Super Freak" and "Give It to Me Baby." The album sold 3 million copies.
		The violent action, exacerbated by an encore performance of "Super Freak," caused two blood vessels to burst.

	I'm Rick James, B*tch - The artist behind the Super Freak. By Tony Green
		And James' recent appearances demonstrated just how unkind time is to flashy, spotlight-stealing artists—double-chinned super freaks in too-tight jumpsuits tend to invite ridicule.
		James, as good as he was, never really had that kind of cachet—his hedonistic funk-punkster played well, but it didn't obscure the fact that he was just an extremely accomplished, seriously prolific, outlandishly funky individual who had more of an effect on pop music than people give him credit for.
		That should be enough for people to try to scratch the surface of the Chappelle caricature, and "Super Freak" and all the other totems that we associate with his legacy.

		Scaling can be done using the Control Freak's minimum and maximum slider value parameters, but this is fiddly and the results may not be quite as good as those achieved with the variable resistor just mentioned.
		Physically, the Freak is neatly presented: its fl, wedge-shaped metal case seems sturdily built and measures approximately six by 10 inches.
		Price-wise, the Control Freak sits neatly in the current crop of controllers between Keyfax's non-programmable, knob-based Phat Boy, at £150, and Peavey's PC1600X (which is equipped with 16 faders and switches), at £349.

		On Friday, the influential, but troubled funkmeister, known for his 1981 hit, "Super Freak," and a pair of cocaine-fueled assaults in the 1990s, died in his sleep at 9:20 a.m.
		Professionally, the rocker and producer had been busy of late, working on an album, and writing an autobiography to be called Memoirs of a Super Freak.
		In addition to being a best-selling song for James, "Super Freak"'s bass line helped make a Grammy-winning hit out of "U Can't Touch This," and a chart-topping rapper out of former batboy and future Surreal Life star M.C. Hammer.

		Even at 56, after suffering a stroke and receiving a pacemaker, James Johnson was still determined to live like a super freak.
		By the end of July, he had recorded enough material for a double album; he was trying to find a publisher for his autobiography, Memoirs of a Super Freak; he had just played a string of concerts with his old Motown protégée Teena Marie; and was thinking about a solo tour.
		“Super Freak” returns to the charts as a sample in MC Hammer’s “U Can’t Touch This.” James thinks sampling is silly, changes his mind when the royalty checks roll in.

		On 1981's "Street Songs," his fifth album, James brought his funk `n' roll to a set of songs that perfectly captured the ebb and flow of life in a rapidly changing urban America, from the funky anthems "Ghetto Life" and "Below The Funk" to the searing social commentary of "Mr.

	AlterNet: Beyond the Super Freak Mask
		Yet beyond the "Super Freak" mask, James was a brilliant innovator and artist, one who broke down barriers by melding the past with the present so as to create a unique future for popular music.
		Eventually James surpassed his predecessors by way of accessibility: His most successful work, 1981's Street Songs, (the album that spawned "Super Freak"), enjoyed tremendous cross-over appeal at a time when punk and disco were waning, new wave and rap were in their infancies and arena rock was catching its second wind.
		He was everything from Ziggy Stardust to Earth, Wind and Fire, and unbeknownst to anyone at the time, he had created a masterpiece and a monster all at once; so successful and intoxicating was James' super fly, super freaky, super hero persona, that he soon stopped playing the role and actually became the role.
