I learned about Chuck Brown because as a drummer in highschool and all my friends being black, thats the music I learned to play with. Chuck Brown gets my body moving and even though I'm a white brother that can't dance, I love listening to this music. and even today 15 years later when I sit down at my drum set, its the gogo rhythm that comes out. Its a part of me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Soul R&B Funk Jazz and even more, October 27, 2001

Chuck Brown is probably the most unfairly forgotten artist in the US black music scene. This record is one of these rare opportunities, not only to get into connection with one of the most gifted artists of swing, but also with one of the best soul bands in the world (The Soul Searchers). Also it is a lesson on a style - or better a genre: the go-go music. Artists like Kurtis Blow and Trouble Funk were among the ones that inherited this still fresh tradition that unfornately not too much people pay attention. Mixing the harmonics of jazz with a incredible rythm-design - from which derives the bases to the first Soul II Soul recordings - Brown - even in his name - crossed the main themes of african-american modern music. It don't mean a thing - with you ain't got the swing - you can get it through this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars I MISS YOU CHUCK!, December 5, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Go Go Swing (Audio CD)

I grew up in the Washington, DC area were Go-Go was born and created by the one and only "Chuck Brown". Since moving away from that area, I have not been able to find any Chuck Brown CD's. So, I thank you Amazon for having so many Chuck Brown CD's. This man has had me Go-Go swing for many years. So, keep it going Chuck. (...)
