Is It Love That We're Missin' by The Brothers Johnson

Yeah, Yeah. The Brothers Johnson raising up the funk with their very song as a duo. It's off Quincy Jones' 1975 soulful collective Mellow Madness. Tune it up.

Music from the 70's will always be the "JAM"...today, tomorrow & forever. On the real... if you were listening to this song on the radio for the first time today...would you be blown away?

I saw them do this in concert with Quincy Jones and his Orchestra . This was a great show . The brothers were just starting out . Despite having a great time , I ahad some tight ass shoes on . I met George Johnson when I was thirteen and he was mean to me . I said "Are you Geoge Johnson ? " He said yeah why ? He dissed me cold . Still a good show .

Hip-O Select needs to release the "Mellow Madness" album on CD.......this was the musical "coming out party" for the Brothers Johnson, and the start of their hit making career in the '70s.

I have this L.P. but I really would rather it in digital form. I think Blusette was on that album with Grady Tate as the Drummer. Thats some stuf Man!!
