Brick & Ripple [2022] - No Love Like Yours [Izipho Soul]

Names familiar to you?  Brick & Ripple are actually Jimmy 'Lord' Brown from 70s/80s band Brick and Curtis Reynolds who was with another 70s group Ripple. 

Brick was formed in 1972 as a merger of members from two bands, one a disco band and the other a jazz band. They broke through with their second single in 1976 "Dazz" (disco-jazz)  (#1 R&B / #3 Hot 100) and their only UK hit. They released seven albums between 1976-88 and had twelve entries on the R&B chart, three of them entering Hot 100.

Whilst Ripple were originally from the Mid-West (Chicago, IL / Kalamzoo, MI) they were signed to Atlanta based label GRC and hit with their first single "I Don't Know What It Is, But It Sure Is Funky" (#11 R&B #67 Hot 100) which opened doors for them to tour with some of the biggest acts of the time such as EWF, Kool & The Gang, O'Jays and Commodores. They later signed to Salsoul and had a dance hit with "The Beat Goes On and On" in 1977.

Jimmy Brown (lead vocalist, saxophone, flute, trumpet) and Curtis Reynold (vocalist and all Keyboards) have been playing together for over four decades as Jimmy & Curtis as well as being members of Brick and Ripple. They went back into the studio to work on new material with a couple of friends, Sleepy Brown, writer/producer of the group OutKast and singer/songwriter/producer Luke Garison ("Luke G") and one of the results is this new single "No Love Like Yours".

It's released digitally on 21 May 2020 by the ever illustrious Izipho Soul on Bandcamp, but I'm not sure if/when it will be available on vinyl but will find out.
