Any Brothers Johnson fans know this?



I ripped the whole LP to the iPod. when I need some spritual uplifting, I pull this up. "Have you Heard The Word," is FUNKY and includes a killer bass solo by Louis. The rest of the album is just okay.

Passage were the brainchild of the Brothers Johnson. To my knowledge they only made one album and a fine album it is too. Essentially, this is a gospel set, that I remember, back in the day, was being picked up for the excellent dancer 'Power'. Robbie Vincent used to play that tune on his Radio London show, on this sets release, on A & M Records, back in 1981 (is it really 20 years ago?). Passage comprised of Louis Johnson, his wife Valerie Johnson and Richard Heath. The tracks 'I See The Light', 'Have You Heard The Word?' and 'You Can't Be Livin' are fine examples of early Eighties soul music. Apart from the Brothers Johnson, there are fine pieces of artistic input from the likes of David 'Hawk' Wolinski, Nolen & Crossley, Rene Moore and Ricky Lawson. A really uplifting and optimistic album that I can highly recommend to any soul fan. Great stuff.

never heard of this album
