Brothers Johnson "I'll Be Good To You" has gone gospel Listening to the radio this morning, this song came on. It's by Bishop Noel Jones. It's called "It's Not About Us". I really like it, but it is a total rip off of "I'll Be Good To You."
I know this is not that uncommon, but I'm not a big fan of turning secular songs into gospel trax. Here's the song: **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

lol, yeah, complete and total sample. Sounds good though. But its the Brothers Johnson, so it's supposed to. Lady Cab Driver is one of the greatest songs ever! | |

Gospel music capitalizing on the sounds of secular music is nothing new.
Just ask Kirk Franklin. Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint | |

Donnie McClurkin made "Ooh Child" a gospel song so people have done that for a while, it's modern gospel's way of paying a tribute to R&B songs after so many artists made gospel songs and interpolated it to rhythm and blues music. | |

I think the original has a religious subtext. This is a natural extension. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

The difference with Ooh Child is that Donnie didn't blatenly take the song and turn it into something else. He and Kirk stuck to the original and added some lyrics. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

Just ask Kirk Franklin. I know. I have been in churches and heard so many different r&b songs that have been converted to gospel. The funniest is converting "Candy" from Cameo into a gospel song. I was laughing in church when I heard that one. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

To make matters worse, my cousin was sitting near me and she started singing the chorus to "Candy" in the middle of church. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

I've heard a choir doing a song over the melody to Gigolos. I laughed my SSA off at church on that one also. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-
