These guys were so influential to the west coast hip hop G Funk sound of the early 90's.

Track #25 on my YouTube Funky Dope Music Playlist. Young and Company - I Like What You're Doing To Me (1980)

If You Love Me-Brownstone(1995). These ladies can blow, their harmonies are killer. Fell in love with this song on first listen. And at the 1:00 mark

The sampled track that kicks in at the 1:00 mark. K S-O-L-O is Spellbound which was released 5 years earlier
