Light Up The Night

Out Of Stock

Add Item to Want List
CD (Item 375063) A&M, 1980 -- Condition: New Copy

More hit magic from the Brothers Johnson -- still working with Quincy Jones at this point, and virtually setting up the blueprint for jazzy soul in the 80s! Backings are by an all-star team, and Rod Temperton's helping out Quincy with arrangements -- going for that snapping groove approach he worked to best effect with Heatwave. The sound is tight, but never too slick -- and The Brothers keep a nice funky undercurrent on the bottom of most tracks. Titles include "Smilin On Ya", "You Make Me Wanna Wiggle", "Light Up The Night", "Stomp", "This Had To Be", and "Closer To The One You Love".  © 1996-2010, Dusty Groove America, Inc.
