look i dug the brothers johnson, however they were never on mj's level as a artist those cats were touring with billy preston and Q got them for his projects, however they produced "the real thing" and there winners album which in truth didn't sound any different that production Q did on them.

what Q did with the brothers johnson is like larry blackmon with cashflow or rick james with the stone city band its cool however not the finish line.

nobody was saying oh wow quincy jones and the brothers johnson how about him producing other R&B acts?

it wasn't like that back then
