I’ve heard the story about Robbie Robertson (from The Band) saving Rick James during a bar fight, and later introducing him to Neil Young. Rick and Neil supposedly wrote some songs together, but I’ve never read about nor heard any of that material. Does anyone know the details behind the work they did together?

What I can't imagine is the two of them having a conversation deep enough to develop any amount of collaborating.

Neil Young the godfather of grunge and Rick James the prince of funk, it could be frunk music or funge music, just take your pick!
