[JudgmentuponYou]

The music of my childhood and preteens years 1967-80....

[MikeBTek]

I want to see the video of Golden Gate Groove Live in San Francisco 1973, that had to be some performance. The single TSOP was great, but every one knows "Love is, ♪♫ Saxophone, Love is, ♪♫ Saxophone, Brief Moment of Silence, and then.... Love is The Message, a.k.a. The National Anthem of Brooklyn!!! Radio DJ Frankie Crocker on WBLS 107.5 would count it down before playing the latter half. When we heard "Uno, dos, uno, dos, tres, cuatro, " we knew to drop everything and turn up the volume, turn it up!  Really MFSB, and all of its incarnations, goes down in history as perhaps the greatest orchestra ever, giving us an orchestral classic sound mixed with soul/ jazz/ salsa/ funk, and good clean positive vibes.  MFSB could make us party hard, they could make us reminisce, they could make us cry and inspire us to new heights.  I give much thanks to the MFSB master musicians, producers, arrangers and singers for giving me so many great moments in my life, just listening to first class music and teaching that indeed, Love is the Message.

Who was in the band? How about a proper documentary on them?

[dongilbert]

MFSB was on par with the Funk Bothers of Motown but for an instrumental perfection!

[marvinmartian]

Where is MFSF 1973 Freddies Dead album?

[richardbraithwaite]

They made 6 albums. There missing The Gamble-Huff Orchestra from 1978.

[bpabustan]

Some guy told me MFSB means... well.. a series of vulgar phrases hehehe
But seriously, I really wish to see the old MFSB in action, I only heard them on records, at least I get to see much of the Funk Brothers and Booker T. & The MGs so why not MFSB?

[TheBluesmanBlue]

Wow I don't want to say what a powerful band they were but I'm going to rephrase it what a powerful Orchestra they were and if it was such thing of a Grammy for a house band/ Orchestra you can definitely put. MFSB at the top of that list and for the people who gave the five thumbs down definitely don't know their music🎼🎵🎶🎹🎷🎺🎸🇺🇸
