Few know that "Danko" was Rick's stage name. His real last name was "Stadanko". His father was a well known narcotics officer in L.A.

No you did not, you thought differently and WERE wrong.

WRONG WRONG WRONG!
Fixed it for you, cobbler. And yes, I have always confused Danko with James.

Do not just "fix" stuff without permission, it's dishonorable.

Dude, you took that bait! Rick James, 'crack' band? I knew that it was Danko. Jaysus.

He was amazing, a sweet voice.

I've always believed that Danko's vocal on "It Makes no Difference" is the greatest vocal performance in pop music history

I watch this one regularly to remind me of the beauty of music and this man. Gives me goose bumps every time.

I can't see the video from work. Is it Rick James? I wasn't aware that he had such a crack band, but upon reflection, of course he did!
