   • The Mynah Birds, “It’s My Time” b/w “Go on and Cry” (1966) After going AWOL from the Navy and fleeing to Toronto, Canada, James "Rick James" Johnson eventually ended up in a local rock group called the Mynah Birds, which featured future members of Buffalo Springfield and Steppenwolf.
   • Rick James, “My Mama” b/w “Funkin’ Around” (1974) In the decade-plus between the Mynah Birds and his first solo album, James moved to California, got a gig as a Motown staff songwriter (Spinners, Marvelettes, etc.)
   • Rick James, “You and I” (1978) Finally finding redemption at Berry Gordy's personal Motown imprint, Gordy Records, James unleashed his brash "punk-funk" movement with this gloriously strutting single, which boasted a colossal synth-bass groove, James' boa-tossing vocal panache and double-entendres directed at his ex-wife.
