Biography:
Rick James (born James Ambrose Johnson, Jr; February 1, 1948 - August 6, 2004) was an American funk and soul musician from Buffalo New York, who worked as a singer, keyboardist, bassist, record producer, arranger, and composer during his long career. One of the most popular artists on the Motown label during the late 1970s and early 1980s, James was famous for his wild brand of funk music and his trademark cornrow braids. As time went on, James was given the unofficial title The King of Punk-Funk.

***************************************
So I searched and searched and could not find this tab anywhere online.
Don't you hate when that happens? This is totally a work in progress...
I found a really simple way to play it to the satisfaction of my girlfriend
It fits the melody but it is really over-simplified.
If anybody can give me some help on variations it would be nice.
I actually didn't even listen to the song to get the actual key.
I just sang it in my natural way. I mean who doesn't know this song by heart
I welcome criticism and challenge someone else to do better seriously...
