**Stone City Band Endorses 420**

As we all know you can be the greatest singer songwriter in the world but if your backing band sucks you might as well be on your knees slupping it up also*
Case in point Rick James never left home without the Stone City Band which he hand picked in 1978 to exclusively record & tour with him. The band's nickname became "The Bad Boys of Punk Funk & Roll" which is well deserving because they kicked out tracks for just about every R & B Funketter & disco princess at their hottest point in their career.
This song is called "Freaky" from the "Boys Are Back" Lp. Other top notch cuts on the album include a cover of the Kinks "All Day All Night" & a laid back song about an encounter with a Rasta while vacationing in Jamaica called "Ganja". How can you say no to that!!
