- In this video we're checking out Tom Browne. We had no idea, even, that he was the trumpet player, for this. We know nothing about him. This should be interesting. Enjoy!

Hey guys !! Tom Browne is a jazz trumpet player. The bass was played by jazz great Marcus Miller. The piano (my favorite part) was played by Dave Grusin, another jazz great. The song was a tribute to Jamaica Queens, NY where Tom Browne grew up. The conversation throughout was reminiscent of the the chatter from the neighborhood. The female vocalist was Toni Smith (who also co-wrote the song). I also originally thought it was Chaka Khan (another of my favorite singers...) !!
This is one of my favorite songs because it combines funk, jazz, and r&b. The musicianship is top notch.and Toni's vocals are amazing----thus the comparison to Chaka Khan.
Actually the main bass grove was played on keyboard by the late Bernard Wright
This is a classic Soul Funk Jazz song…a huge hit. Tom Browne is Jazz trumpeter from Jamaica Queens, New York. The song is about Jamaica Queens, New York.
Sadly the singer Toni Smith passed away in 2020. What a wonderful voice she had!
Its one of the most underrated N.Y.C songs of all time!!! One of the first million sell records in the 80's😂😂😂
Cool she boppin’ to it 😁✌🏼 Tom Browne plays the trumpet 💯👍🏼 and this song is about Jamaica Queens NYC
Here is a live video of them performing. Tom Browne is the Trumpet player and the singer is Tommasina Angelina "Toni", she recently passed. Tom went on to becoming an airline pilot. He did a mini-documentary went he went to visit the gang many years later, but sadly, many had died and some were hooked on drugs. Toni was in the documentary which you can watch here: ruclips.net/video/y_5iCs20VMg/видео.htmlsi=n6r9URCLfsvb0yoZ
Loved this song. 1979. Man, that was good music.
Been enjoying this for so long. Glad you tried it. Turned up volume and bass and enjoyed .Hear The Drummer Get Wicked, Chad Jackson is going to follow this with for me
Omg we would kill it on the dance floor when we heard that horn. Girls wud snatch guys up to be 1st on the dance floor. Its abt the experience in Jamaica nyc. He was also a pilot
Can NEVER go wrong with this classic jam! That G FUNK!
Exactly! I thought Chaka sang it. She could have easily done it ❤ Tom's a brass Man
Funkin' was such a major hit on the r and b charts that people sadly ignored to rest of the album and the album "Love Approach" is really great but I could never find it on CD.
That is 16 year old Bernard Wright playing keyboard/ piano and the bass line put 17 year old Marcus Miller combined his bass guitar. Rip Bernard Wright " Jamaican funk "
Tom browne is the trumpeteer.......
Tom Brown is the Trumpet player . Funkin for Jamaica based on Jamaic Queens N.Y. were he hails from.
Yes, it was very cool.
I assume you guys have heard Womack & Womack - Teardrops? One of the all time great dance tracks and floor fillers!
Absolute 80s classic
Watch the video of this song
Know this well. Good song in the main
Hey Hanier's please react to Kleeer's "Intimate Connection," it's funk love song like no other........the bassline is 'sick.'
He said see Tom Brown he is an ordinary guy Tom Brown is the trumpeter
How can the dude just sit there and not move? Simple sound? Brah. The horns, ivory and percussion all contribute to a very rich sound.
For real. SMH.
My homegirl Becky gots this tho 😂😂
Let him go ahead and listen to his Jefferson Starship lol
He's vibing a little towards the end tho,he was holding back tho lol
She’s grooving 😎
@@phuckingerald She got soul 🤣🤣
Given your reaction to Deep Purple with Black night, I think it's about time you tried , Deep Purple with Highway star. A live version from early in the 70s preferably
We know that one! Great tune!
Can't wait for my long awaited Garbage request 😊
We must have missed that one. Please remind us of which song, and we will add it to our list.
Haha oop
It's for Jamaica, Quee 2:26 😅not! What's
There was a spoof version of this called Wikka Rap by the Evasions which was absolutely brilliant, all about the TV journalist Alan Wicker. 😎
'Wikka Wrap' by the Evasions was based on Tom Browne's track 'Thighs High'.
@@djdrwatson The chorus was ''The Wikka Wrap, is what it is... gotta get interviews'' over the Funkin' For Jamaica chorus riff and replacing the words.
@@kadiummusic Yes, you're right. I'd forgotten that the 'Wikka Rap' was made up of multiple elements (two Tom Browne tracks). it even includes 'Good Times'.
@@djdrwatson Yes, very clever! 😎
It's a mixture of Thighs High and Funkin for Jamaica
Yep that's Chaka Khan you got it right.
That's not chaka khan!!
This is the type of music that made me dislike going to Night Clubs, an endless stream of funk/dance music to the extent that you couldn't tell when one song became another. This became worse when Techno arrived.
I know what you mean but I think you're being a bit harsh. This is great funk track with a little bit of rap when rap was fun! 😎
