Oh yes the Brothers Johnson. Remember playing this on 8 track in my 1972 Chevy Malibu thru Kraco speakers and a power booster. The women loved Louis because he had the perfect afro for the times. Those brothers were funky. I would to you react to Tom Browne Jamaica Funk. Needs to be the video version since it adds so much to the song.
One of their first BIG HITS was , "I'll be good to you." 👍
My generation but it never gets old.❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely classic track. You can hear exactly why Quincy Jones got Louis Johnson to play a lot of the bass on the Off The Wall and Thriller albums. In the '80s, Stock Aitken and Waterman reproduced a lot of sounds and chord progressions from this track for one of their early hits, Princess's 'Say I'm You're #1' – a slamming track and worth reacting to I'd say (both its 7" and 12" versions).
So great to hear this again, I still have the original 12inch record. Thanks for reacting to this 🙏😊
I remember if you bought the 45 record, the record sleeve smelled like strawberries…
Shuggie Otis [the cat who influenced PRINCE more than ANYONE!🤘🤘] wrote and recorded the original
…but since The Brothers Johnson & Quincy recorded this version, it has become the standard for this classic.
🔥🤘🤘
Early Brothers Johnson (pre-disco) is much more funk-heavy & rockin'!!!!
Check out the classic: "Get The Funk Out My Face"🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘 ⚡
Shuggie Otis' Inspiration Information (album) is a(n unfairly little-recognized!) MASTERPIECE!
🔥🔥🤘🤘
This is the best reaction channel on the internet I've seen. You guys really know your music and appreciate all the instruments and percussion! and you are so honest about what you like. Love your channel!!!
I had the album and loved it so much! Thank you for sharing this song.
FINALLY!! That song was and still is one of the BEST funk songs EVER!! Now you need to hear 'Get The Funk Out My Face'🤗🤗
Jordan, this song was sampled. The opening music sounded familiar. Kurtis Blow sampled it in 1988 in the song "Still On The Scene" and dozens of other songs sampled it over the years. This has been played on the radio for years. Great classic.
Weeeell, if you like funk then you might like their song, Get The Funk Outta My Face. I’ll Be Good To You, wasn’t as funky or fast, but it was more popular.
One of my favorite songs back then was Get Off, by Foxy. I bought the tape and loved it but I think they were essentially a one hit wonder. And I didn’t know until just today that one of the instruments I loved in that song was a talk box! I just didn’t know what it was at the time.
Edit: Depending on which song came out first I thought the first time I’d heard a talk box was in Peter Frampton’s song, Do You feel Like We Do. I’m sure people have begged you to review it too because he does a masterclass on guitar. There’s the album version which also highlights an extraordinary keyboard player, and then there’s a Midnight Special video. Both are good but you really need to hear the album version from a live concert. The audience’s reactions, (whistles, clapping, shouts, and cheers), anticipating what’s next, fit the song perfectly and to me feel like an extra instrument. It’s long but worth it.
Hi There Jay and Amber. You guys need to checkout the 70’s Funk Group from Ohio name Slave and their hit song “Slide”
The LP smelled like strawberries 😊
I remember very clearly the strawberry flavored scratch n sniff record cover for this song.
You need to also do their break through hit "I'll Be Good To You"
User to dance to this in high school. Have they reacted to any Con Funk Shun? I think they'd like Shake And Dance, or Love's Train.
Curtis Mayfield- Suoerfly ( 72)
Essential reaction 🔥
This drummer is the same drummer who played MJ’s Rock with You, Chaka khan Through the Fire, and other countless songs and albums 🔥 btw this bass player Louis Johnson RIP played on MJ’s Billie Jean
You should check out the Brothers Johnson FUNKY version of the Beatles classic "Come Together"…!!
First heard this in the Quentin Tarantino movie “Jackie Brown”
All right my babies…. Big time banger ‼️ If you noticed in the lyrics it said "Strawberry Letter 22" it's a reference to a 22nd letter that he got from a woman. His response back to her and makes it the Strawberry Letter 23. And check this out…If you purchased the lp record back in the seventies, the album was see-through red in color, the label in the middle of the record was a scratch and sniff and it smelled like strawberry ‼️ Most definitely a collector's item for sure ‼️💯🔥😎👍🏼
Love some psychedelic funk.
Killer tune! Love it!
I have to say that I wasn’t familiar with The Brothers until watching the movie Jackie Brown. I loved this song as soon as I heard it. Actually that whole soundtrack is a bop.
One of my favorite , back down memory lane. If you want more funk, check out whoodni five minutes of funk.
You need to do some Billy Ocean reactions.
A couple of other Brothers Johnson for you to react to are the very pop oriented huge hit for them called I'll Be Good To You and the song Get The Funk Out Ma Face, which sounds just like the title suggests it will.
I recommend almost any song from the soundtrack to Jackie Brown, a Tarantino film starring Pam Grier that kind of flew under the radar. It’s one of my favourite soundtracks ever and a great film.
This is one of those songs that comes on the radio when you’re at home and you just start dancing by yourself.
Funky funky funky
