▪ 2005
James Ambrose Johnson 
      American musician and singer (b. Feb. 1, 1948, Buffalo, N.Y.—d. Aug. 6, 2004, Los Angeles, Calif.), wrote such classic funk hits as “Super Freak” and “Give It to Me.” He released his debut album, Come and Get It, in 1978. The long-haired, leather-clad James was known for his sexually explicit lyrics, unforgettable beats, and a wild offstage lifestyle that led to a long bout with drug addiction.
