I'll Be Good To You (UFC Style) ...Brother Ray & Wild Child vs George & Louis Johnson In my mind this is an unfair battle. Ray Charles & Chaka Khan's voice on the track makes this one a 10 second tap-out. ...Still lookin' for the "lightning". tA Tribal Disorder http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 [Edited 6/4/07 17:06pm] "Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn.

Bros Johnson
It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

The original is not pretentious, however. | |

The original is not pretentious, however. I'd go with The Brothers Johnson, too! All Props to Chaka and Brother Ray-- Great Vocals on it---- but Quincy's "Fake-drum" production just makes that remake sound as stiff as a board....Like Harle said, It just makes it sound like he pushed a few buttons and had them sing over it.... I really like the feel of the BJ and Quincy's original version---That warm sultry Funk groove that builds, Ironically it's the same kinda thing that Chaka would've killed with Rufus.... So, for overall feel, IMO, it's definitely the Brothers Johnson (and the '76 Quincy, lol!!) Even without the lightning (somebody Get Lee Ritenour or Steve Lukather on the phone) ...

Even without the lightning (somebody Get Lee Ritenour or Steve Lukather on the phone) That's exactly why I don't like the version from Back off the Crack (or whatever that 1990 Quincy album was called). At the time, that was the only version I knew and I didn't like it. Then I heard the original and fell in love. I like the vocals on the remake, but the production is very, very dated and generic. Could very well be a yogurt commercial. bold edit [Edited 6/5/07 10:51am] | |

Come to think of it, somebody asked her in an interview what are the songs that she doesn't like but had to sing, and she mentioned "that song" and "Music Man". The DJ was kinda shocked since it was a winner and it won her a grammy, she said she was grateful but she did the project out of love & respect for "Uncle Q" as she calls him, and Ray Charles. If they were somebody else, chances are she'd have refused. | |

Ultimate Fighting Championship (mixed martial arts). tA Tribal Disorder http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 "Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn. C'mon y'all." | |

I guess Don King or Bob Arum got involved in the UFC and reversed the decision even though I thought the opponent was KO'd...
I still like the Q-version, electronic drum sounds and all. Hell, it was the 80s and I guess even Q had to bow down. Btw, those electronic drums may have been triggered by Harvey Mason who's credited as the drummer on the track. Bruce Swedien is credited with "drum sounds". It seems that James Ingram was the original male half of the duet and you can hear one of his signature ad libs that was left in the mix at the 4:11 mark. It also won Chaka Khan a Grammy (for what it's worth). tA Tribal Disorder http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 "Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn.

It was a wack year! Phil Collins, Mariah Carey and Wilson Phillips were all nominated for album that year (I could be off base on that) Again, I like the vocal but that's about it. Tevin did another Johnson Bros remake on that same album, Tomorrow. And thanks for the acronym clarification. | |

The Brothers Johnson by FAR. I hated the Ray Charles and Chaka Khan version. It sounded like the other stuff from that era.....watered down crossover pop shit. I'll say it again....late 80s, horrible years.....HORRIBLE years. Andy is a four letter word. | |

so its better now? Hell no, it's much worse now. However, the late 80s was the infancy stages of how it eventually would get worse and worse until it ended up the way it is now. In the late 80s, more and more R&B artists tried to get crossover pop hits and abandoned funk (which was played mainly on R&B stations only). Today, shit hop dominates.....which is what.....today's crossover pop. Andy is a four letter word. | |

Tribal Disorder http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 [Edited 6/4/07 17:06pm] I am more partial to the Q version over the BJ version. Probably because Chaka sang it. Now, I prefer the remix over the album version. I think the remix has a more euro-funk flavor verses the album version. Now, don't get me wrong, I do love BJ's version. The arrangement is killer.
