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?
I saw the brothers in 77 MUSIC HALL, cincinnati they were the featured artists along with FRANKIE BEVERLY and SLAVE, great concert i was 16 never forget it.
The brothers Johnson is two of the baddest brothers group ever to hit the music scene with great hits like Get the funk out ma face ... strawberry letter 23 ..... Running from your loving ....I'll be good to ya .... Louis Johnson is one of the greatest bass players to ever lay hands on bass thunder thumb Rip Louis Johnson
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.
@@lavidaroberson5022 when somebody says The Brothers Johnson, that’s the first song I think of. Everyday at work I listen to an Internet radio station and they always play this song 😂
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!
LOVED ALL THEIR SONGS; AND THEY BRING BACK SO MANY MEMORIES; ESPECIALLY OF HAVING SO MUCH FUN AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE PASSED...VERY TALENTED TEAM WITH A UNIQUE SOUND!
When their first album hit the scene, I was hooked! I've been a Brothers Johnson fan ever since. Just great music that sho nuff brought the funk! Nuff said.
@kathleennakatoblair496 Wow !!! It's a small world and Once My Great grandfather went north its like He lost contact with his family and I know Zero about them , however one day I think we'll reconnect!
Ride o rocket Love is Get the funk out of my face I’ll be good to you Light up the night Stomp Lightning licks Tomorrow Runnin for your love Street wave Q Strawberry Letter 23
