Product Description :

The Brothers Johnson backed up many touring artists like Bobby Womack, and the Supremes before joining Billy Prestons band. Following their departure from Preston's band, Quincy Jones hired them to play on his album Mellow Madness and as a result recorded four of the brother's songs. Quincy Jones then produced the Brothers Johnson debut album "Look Out For #1" in 1976. It was however the following album "Right On Time", also Jones produced, which was to break them into the mainstream. The Best Of Funk is a compilation album that highlights the brothers talents and shows not only why they were so popular as an act in the late seventies and beyond, but also musically and why they were in such great demand.

Product Description :

Formed in the late seventies by Bobby Harris, the Dazz Band was one of the leading Funk bands of the 80s. Harris brought together two of the leading funk bands in Cleveland - Bell Telefunk and Mother Braintree. After numerous line up changes the band settled on an 8-piece format with the intention of playing "Danceable Jazz" from which the name The Dazz Band was derived. In 1980 the band signed to the legendary Motown label and released their debut album entitled Invitation To Love. The band really hit the big time with their second album Keep It Live and the single Let It Whip which won the band a Grammy Award. The band continued through the 80s releasing 6 consecutive Top 100 albums before splitting in 1988. The Best Of Funk is exactly what it says it is - The Best of Funk and there were none finer than The Dazz Band in the eighties.
