    Thanks for watching! This video was actually supposed to be the first video on my channel. I needed more time to get it the way I wanted it. I revised the original footage and hope you enjoyed it. What do you remember most about the Brother's Johnsons' music?

    The Brothers Johnson are my blood cousins. Our grandmothers were sisters!!! I met George and Alex Weir in the 80’s and stayed in touch for a while.

    I remember the very first time I heard Streetwave in May 1980 as this track along with Free Yourself, Be Yourself was on the B side of the “12” single of Light Up The Night in the UK. At the age of 10, I was blown away by this track and still is one of my favourite instrumentals of all time.

    Highly unlikely to have such a great paring again, the other in this genre (close) was Rogers and Edwards. Quincy (RIP) had the ears to spot them so early on!. Masters at work. Amen and thank you bro's!
