The Brothers Johnson Come Together in 1976

I'm enjoying the 70's soul theme of the last few posts, so lets just stick with it. Why ruin a good thing with some New-Wave pop from the 80's or some classic rock? Maybe if I could combine classic rock and soul music? Yeah, that's the ticket. We'll try that.

Today's song is a recent acquisition. Last week during my return journey from out of town, I passed through Boise, Idaho; which to me means a visit to 'The Record Exchange'. 'The Record Exchange' is a great music store which still caries a lot of vinyl. There must not be too many vinyl collector's in that town because whenever I go, I always find some great albums.
The record I found last week was the debut album from the 70's funk and soul group The Brothers Johnson. The album is 'Look Out For #1' and it's from 1976. The Brothers Johnson were actual brothers who got their start playing in rhythm sections for artists like Billy Preston and Bobby Womack. Eventually they connected with super producer Quincy Jones who helped them create their sound and produce some of the best funk albums of the 1970's.

Today's track from that first album is a cover of the classic Beatles song "Come Together". In my opinion, you can never go wrong with an R&B version of a Beatles song. "Come Together" is an John Lennon penned tune from the classic 1969 album 'Abbey Road'. The famous album cover that created the legend of Paul McCartney being dead. I'm not sure if I see it.

So here it is. The Brothers Johnson singing "Come Together" from 1976. Click the link for some fun.
