This funk/R&B group, produced by the Johnson Brothers, established a sophisticated dance groove with Quincy Jones.
Quincy Jones's tight, modern sound production brings out the funky groove of the songs to the fullest. The album combines catchy melodies with outstanding performance techniques, including the smash hit "Stomp!", which reached number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100. It symbolizes the trends in black music at the time.
