Bio at allmusic.com:

In the late '70s, when the fortunes of Motown Records seemed to be flagging, Rick James came along and rescued the company, providing funky hits that updated the label's style and saw it through into the mid-'80s. Actually, James had been with Motown earlier, though nothing had come of it. After growing up in Buffalo and running away to join the Naval Reserves, he ran away from the Navy to Toronto, where he was in a band with future Buffalo Springfield members Neil Young and Bruce Palmer, and with Goldy McJohn, later of Steppenwolf. As the Mynah Birds, they signed to Motown and recorded, though no record was ever released.

He had a stroke 6 years ago and his health has been declining every since. You guys might be a little hasty in passing judgement on the cause of his death. Since his release from prison, by all accounts I've seen, the guy had really cleaned up his life.

No question he was a big time addict before that though.

Initial reports indicate he died of natural causes related to the stroke.
