I haven't played this in a long time, and I was really and truly a Brothers Johnson fan back in the day. Most of all, Lou Johnson, what a hell of a bass player. I really miss this kind of music creativity.
Yeah Brothers Johnson you were Funkin' Now, as it was you guys BEST dance jam...at least for me at many nightclub in Cleveland during the summer of ''78
That’s that breakdown the crowd can never get enough of! Thank God for hip hop cuz they knew how much the people craved it and put in work to keep it going for longer at house parties.
The Camera person was incompetent...all the monster bass all over this track, bass solo's everywhere! They didn't show the Thumpin Virtuoso Louis Johnson close up..not once! Bummer...
I was born in 1989 I was raised with Old School R&B Funk music by mom and dad I love Old School Funk music it's in my blood today's music is just trash
Got the *ALBUM* still playable an in great shape!!! The baddest guitar duo *EVER*❗ THIS IS MUSIC!!! Everything from Vocal Arrangement to all instruments, dress decorum EVERYTHING! Class Personified Sound...🎤🎧✔💯👊◼
Always loved this and was thrilled to be up late one night and to my absolute surprise, catch Greg "Mouse" Phillinganes and the Vibe band playing this live!
Whoever was directing the cameramen on this shoot must not have known who The Brothers Johnson was, because these angles were pathetic!!! Mostly shots of the dancers, little to no focus on Louis!!!! ESPECIALLY DURING HIS SOLO!!! I LOVE THE SONG, BUT THIS WAS JUST PAINFUL TO ENDURE!!!
Yeah, if you didnt know any better, you’da thought the “brothers” were George & the other lead guitarist! Louise didn’t get any “air-time” at all! As a bassist, this was painful to watch!
25 when this came out now at at 71 still just as funky as 1978 still listening in 2024 who's here ❤😂🎉
I Am 60 yrs Hip to it
I can dig it!! 👍
I was 18 playing keyboards in a funk band in SF and we added this Brothers Johnson song to our repertoire of funk set list. 🎶🎹🎺🎷
👊💙
I'M

That horn player in the middle is grooving! 😂😂😂
That may be the original white boy from "Play That Funky Music"...
Yes he is!!!

@@joeemick1891 My apologies to the gentleman. It's hard to tell from the video.
To quote Parliament-Funkadelic, this "is the funk, the whole funk and nothing but the funk."
You rigbt bruh, we are on the mothership funkingly physchadelik
I dont know why we were blessed with the music in the 70's, 80's and 90's. And i will mot question it.....!
I will mot question it either !!
Danced to it then... Still dancing to it now😢
I was 15 years old when this song came out in 1978. I was jamming my ass off to this. It's 2023 and I'm still JAMMING!!!!!
Its the little short dude funkin extea hard for me😂💕🎶🤣
Funky ass groove 1luv 😎
This Song is the Anthem of Funk ... Can't get no funkier than this!!!!
Still loving this song in 2021
Indeed
Right when you!!
This jam came off the Brothers Johnson best album Blam.
I was 13 years old when this Jam came out & I still love & play it. The Funk is still Alive!
Same and still Funky as nine cans of shaving powder
It's just too much for the old ones like me. Unleashing the 70's/80's.
Yeah Brothers Johnson you were Funkin' Now, as it was you guys BEST dance jam...at least for me at many nightclub in Cleveland during the summer of ''78
I was born in 1978 , when that song came out
Yeah, I was in Jr High 13 yrs old we went crazy over this song. Funk!
1:45 - 2:20 is the really groovy part.
That’s that breakdown the crowd can never get enough of! Thank God for hip hop cuz they knew how much the people craved it and put in work to keep it going for longer at house parties.
Break beat
Indeed. The crowd totally dissolves into it. Harry Styles tried to carry it out but it's not even close.
Summer of 1978 being down south at my family reunion in Camden South Carolina jamming it.
I'm glad these old songs are on UA-cam because I miss the days of soul and funk.
Great hit by Brothers Johnson
THE BRO JOHNSON' WAS HELL OF A GROUP THE BASS WAS OF THE CHANGE THEY SHOULD GOT MORE PLAY BUT THEY WERE HE'LL OF A GROUP 💘 THEM ARISTO THREE Wtts
Masterpiece of funk
The magical talent of Quincy Jones behind this wonderful band! 🎼
This is some 1 week old collard greens,chitlin, locker room, cigarette and coffee morning breathe,I ain’t took a bath in weeks Funk Right Here!
Burnt toast and coffee time Funk
Let’s give credit to the ladies in the background with the harmony. That adds to the brilliance and groove.
Always a good idea to let your wives sing on your record! Both of their wives could sing.
THE BROTHER JOHNSONS IS ICONIC MUSIC GROUP ,FOR YOU NOT TO LOVE THEIR MUSIC ,YOU MUST BE COMATOSE ,MUSIC CONASUIER GREW UP ON THIS SOUND
Those boys were off the chain!!!! All hail to the funk.
I have tears in my eyes every time that I listen this one....... missing ... missing my gold era
It's still here. It's not gone until we are gone......2024
I had the same response as I was just listening to Is It Love That We're Missin'.
I was 13 when this came out!

The Camera person was incompetent...all the monster bass all over this track, bass solo's everywhere! They didn't show the Thumpin Virtuoso Louis Johnson close up..not once! Bummer...
check out most band footage from the 70's...they almost never dug who was really killing!
I was born in 1989 I was raised with Old School R&B Funk music by mom and dad I love Old School Funk music it's in my blood today's music is just trash
True THAT!
My son was born June 89, he has an old school soul through our influence keep passing that torch!
SHOW 1978 ESSA MUSICA EXPLODIA NAS PISTAS DE DANÇA DE SÃO PAULO
ONLY JEALOUS PEOPLE WILL PUT A THUMBS DOWN !
For real though!
This funk is what I hear I all Hip Hop music....

Era criança e a primeira vez que ouvi essa música foi na Tv Tupi, no Programa do Carlos Imperial!!

I remember when I first heard this at the Disco! I knew a new Era of Funk has arrived , Quality Funk !
Always loved this and was thrilled to be up late one night and to my absolute surprise, catch Greg "Mouse" Phillinganes and the Vibe band playing this live!
Love this song I was in the High School Band we played that on Homecoming football game halftime
I loved this song !!
I love them totally awesome that break sounds like Ohio players
Sounds like Quincy wanted a mix of Parliament/Funkadelic P-funk and Ohio Players!
Great, funking music 👍
Whoever was directing the cameramen on this shoot must not have known who The Brothers Johnson was, because these angles were pathetic!!! Mostly shots of the dancers, little to no focus on Louis!!!! ESPECIALLY DURING HIS SOLO!!! I LOVE THE SONG, BUT THIS WAS JUST PAINFUL TO ENDURE!!!
I agree...Totally!
Damn right - that PHAT bass drives the whole song. It IS the song!
Yeah, if you didnt know any better, you’da thought the “brothers” were George & the other lead guitarist! Louise didn’t get any “air-time” at all! As a bassist, this was painful to watch!
Yep!, I said the same thing!
Yes 😢
Great year for disco
The director and cameraman seem to think George and Alex Weir are the Brothers Johnson.

IT IS LOUIS AND GEORGE JOHNSON. THE ONE THAT IS STILL LIVING IS GEORGE AND WE ARE COUSINS
This is real Funk, and so cutting edge,....in all ways, ahead of time, like 50 years... seriously like a U.F.O. Landing on these poor mortals
