keep that funk in my face - Review written on January 24, 2007

Great old school funk just listening to the musicians will tell you why music of today has little lasting value. When I listen to this cd I just have one request and that is Louis Johnson why did you change from playing a Fender bass early in his career to that mutted flat sound you get from playing that Gibson.
Great compilation CD - Review written on January 11, 2007

If you enjoy the Brothers Johnson and their deep funky basslines, this CD is for you. Songs like Stomp, Get the Funk outta my Face and Strawberry Letter 23 defined the snapping and popping basslines of today's bassists. I highly recommend this for all you old-schoolers!

I bought this album for their two hit songs. They are great. The rest of the album, however a nice funk experience, is loaded with explicit language. I cannot play it around my kids.

The Brothers Johnson are one of the most important funk/soul groups of the 70's. They could do hard funk, jazzy funk and funk that leaned towards disco. One thing I've always thought - that the lead singer sounds kind of like Jermaine Jackson, which is certainly not a bad thing - I love Jermaine! In fact, for the longest time, I thought "Strawberry Letter 23", was sung by Jermaine Jackson! Just my opinion, of course. Anyway, if you love 70's funk and soul, you should have this disc!
