"Cold Blooded," Rick James (9/3/83)
The superfreak's 3rd #1 - and last for almost 5 years - is also his best. Funny how "Cold Blooded" is so much more synthesized than "Give It To Me Baby" - yet somehow "Cold"'s cold, mechanical noise makes the warm live-band sound of "Baby" sound - well, inorganic. I'll say it again in case you missed it the first time: at the height of his powers, the only motherfucker who could touch Rick was that guy in Mpls. A
