My fav Brothers Johnson cuts are....
Every cut from 'Look Out #1', 'Right On Time', 'Blam!!' and 'Light Up The Night'. All those albums are masterpieces. 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.

My secret is out....."I C weird people."
