Manchild, how many remember them? This was the group that Kenny 'Babyface' Edmonds, Daryl Simmons and Reggie Griffin all got their starts in,
They had two albums POWER AND LOVE and FEEL THE PHUFF.
After discovering Vernon Burch's "Changes (Messin' With My Mind)", I did some more Seventies searching and came away with The Ohio Players "Ecstasy" (one of the best erotic funk tunes of all-time) with Junie Morrison on vocals and piano, New Birth,
and re-called Manchild. Griffin and Edmonds are two of the most underrated guitar players around, along with Mike Hampton of Funkadelic.
Of course everyone knows that Edmonds would later be nicknamed Babyface by Bootsy Collins in the early Eighties (just after co-writing one of the greatest ballads of all-time "Slow Jam",and earn a place in music history as a songwriter/producer/solo artist, and Simmons, has co-produced and co-written many tunes with Edmonds,s well as on his own, plus played with Sheila E. for awhile. Griffin, had a big hit single called "Mirda Rock" under the name Reggie Griffin and Technofunk. He also worked with producer Arif Mardim on the huge Chaka Khan record "I Feel For You" (a cover of Prince's tune). He also played with The Isley Brothers and in Babyface's live band. Manchild had a reunion in 1998 that included all of the members that made their two albums. The audience was a little disappointed in that they only did three songs. It was a 20 year reunion. There albums are real treats and they should have been huge.

I got both of their albums

Sounds nyyce! Ahead of their time, they sound like.
