Album Notes & Community Reviews

Mentored and produced by Quincy Jones, the Los Angeles duo exploded onto the scene with this incredibly tight, deeply infectious funk debut. Louis Johnson's revolutionary slap-bass technique immediately set a new technical standard for the genre, anchoring massive dancefloor hits like 'I'll Be Good to You'. It stands as a vibrant, essential classic bridging the gap between heavy 1970s funk and the incoming disco era.
