The height of funk and smoothness -- danceable sophistication.
A funk masterpiece produced by Quincy Jones. An ideal fusion of groove and melody.
"Blam" is the third album by the Brothers Johnson, and is known for being produced by Quincy Jones. Sharp guitar cutting, slap bass, and lustrous vocals intertwine to naturally invite listeners to dance. With killer tunes such as "Ain't We Funkin' Now," the album embodies the golden age of funk and soul, and is still highly regarded among DJs and listeners today.
