I saw the Brothers' Johnson, bought their music, - I love them!!! Those bruthas' were and still are fierce. Should have won many accolades and awards, underrated again!!!! Today, just garbage receives praises and awards, with a few exceptions - What a disgrace!!! Lennytunia | |

Trust me, George Johnson's vocal performance is FAR superior. The Bros. Johnson version is just superior overall. It's not that Shuggie was a hack, not in the least, but as a singer he was less accomplished. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

I love Quincy,but I was sooooo disappointed with his 'Jook Joint' CD.I HATED what he did to "Stomp",bringing in all those guest rappers and totally ruining the song.And now i hear that he's bringing in folks like Snoop and Dre for his next album.  | |

Anyone notice that you can sing "Gigolos Get Lonely Too" over "I'll be Good to You," or vice versa?
I love those guys. Even bought "Kick it to the Curb." Check this song out at:

Get The Funk Out Ma Face (1976)---the long,extended version The Real Thing (1981) Treasure (1980) Strawberry Letter #23 (1977) Runnin For Your Lovin (1977) Land Of Ladies (1976) Dancin Free (1981) Stomp (1980) Ain't We Funkin Now (1978) Welcome To The Club (1982) It's All Over Now (1984) Where's the old School Funk crew at? I know y'all are fans of the George and Louis! Well at least you are not talking about freaking Madonna for a change!!! Anyway, man I wish more young brutha's would look to the Brother's Johnson or any of the old funk bands so they can be inspired to sit down, practice and learn instruments and through hard work and practice they can develop a style and technique like Thunder Thumb's Johnson or Bootsy Collins but I guess the allure of going the Puff Daddy route is to great.... The day of the battle of the bands are dead, dead dead.....I am so glad when it comes to music I grew listening to these powerful brutha's in the 70's and 80's.... Right on!!!! "Say it Loud - I'm Black and I'm Proud!!!" - Brother James Brown
"Make my funk the P-FUNK...I want my funk uncut...." Brother George Clinton | |
