In Section Ten, about halfway down the road and halfway in the middle. Pretty large tombstone, so not very difficult to find.

The original "Super Freak," Rick James, is buried in Buffalo's Forest Lawn Cemetery. Like other rock star graves, this one has empty liquor bottles strewn about as some kind of tribute. A good-looking stone marker with a likeness of Rick James on it. Also in this cemetery you can find our 13th President, Millard Fillmore.
