Found in his home near Universal City, apparently of natural causes. In 1993, he was convicted of assaulting two women and sentenced to two years in prison. In 1998, he had a stroke, cutting short a comeback tour, and hip replacement surgery.

Yes he did, Ninh.

Rick James also did Brick House, if I recall. I'm sure you guys all know that one (see my sig).
