The most recent documentary to grab viewers interest is set to release on September 3rd. Showtime is giving people a new, in depth look into the life of one of the greatest African American musicians of the modern era - Rick James.
Clouded by controversy, sexual assault allegations, and promiscuity – this documentary is on a mission to expose both the highs and lows of James’ career. Most importantly, Showtime’s director Sacha Jenkins is looking to give people newfound appreciation for James’ music and how it propelled the industry forward.Never known for his quiet lifestyle – James was often dismissed for his lifestyle choices, although his music helped lead the new era of music videos and elevate African American musicians to a new pedestal.
Prince had even opened for the legendary rock and R&B artist, and he was known to collaborate with other influential artists of the time, including Joni Mitchell and Eddie Murphey. One thing is for certain, this exposed look into never before seen footage and live concert performances will help give those at home a better understanding of the tumultuous lifestyle of one of the greatest musicians during the 70s and 80s.
