5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing Bad Here!, September 26, 2003

By

This review is from: Look Out for #1 (Audio CD)

The Brothers are in FULL funk throttle here.On their Quincy
Jones produced debut album the bass/guitar duo shine brightly on
classic mid-70's hard funk like "Free And Single",the classic hit
"Get The Funk Outta My Face",the instrumental "Thunder Thumbs And
Lightnin' Licks","Dancin' And Prancin" and the smoldering cover
of "Come Together" and their own "Devil".Elsewhere Quincy fasions
Sly Stone pop on "I'll Be Good to You" and a jazzier funk styling
on "Land Of Ladies",but nothing here will dissapoint!

...a stupendous album by two masters.

Like I said in an earlier review, most classic R and Bee stations neglect the heck out of some of these guys better tunes-sure, to these stations credit they play "I'll Be Good to Ya" and the great "Strawberry Letter 23", but they oughtta play cuts like "Free and Single" and "Land of Ladies" and the nastay "Get the Funk.." from this great recording, also.

I mean, simply, IMHO, they should play them. In the meantime, I implore those ol skool and funk aficionados out there to replace their old worn out vinyl or cassettes or CDs of "Look Out for #1" with an upgrade and join us '70s Obsessives' in the ongoing party groove. You know you already love it, now get it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superior Musicianship, May 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Look Out for #1 (Audio CD)

One of the best debuts of all-time. One of the greatest Lp's of all-time. Another alumni of the illustrious Class of '76 ("Sparkle" Aretha Framklin, "Spirit" Earth, Wind & Fire...ect). From the top 10 hits "I'll be Good to You","Get the Funk Out Ma Face" to the instrumentals (which are almost unheard of in R&B today) "Thunder Thumbs & Lightnin' Licks","Tomorrow" and the album cuts "Land of the Ladies","The Devil" this is a Classic. With the exception of "Come Together" it's top flight from beginning to end. Quincy Joneses production is excellent .
