If i'm not mistaken- that's chaka khan in funkin for jamaica. Awesome song.

I've been looking for Funkin' for Jamaica & Thighs High for the longest on iTunes!

Finally on iTunes, I have been asking for over six years but I went ahead and bought the CD from another source. The picture isn't what Mr. Browne actually looked like. Having said that there was small group of jazz artist who ventured into the fusion-jazz-funk of the late 70's early 80's like Jeff Lorber Fusion, Tom Scott, Rodney Franklin, and another in the mode of Tom Browne, Bernard Wright, who Dave Crusin promoted. Nonetheless, this compilation are danceable hits he did which in the early 80's you couldn't go to a serious house party without this being played. Not true jazz like Freddie Hubbard, Stanley Turrentine, etc but a classic nontheless.

Tom Browne's 70's release, "Browne Sugar", is his best in my book. This compilation includes some 80's releases that are more electronic than anything else and most jazz artists just don't fit that genre. But, what's really weird to me about this one is the picture ---- that is NOT Tom Browne! Who in the world put this together and who's photo is that on the cover??? He doesn't even look enough like Tom Browne to be an impostor. It says it's released by Sony Music. That's a major label. You'd think they'd have a picture of Tom or just use some artistic design or something. Does Tom know about this??? I should call the authorities!!! Do an image search for Tom Browne and see what he really looks like!

I've asked for this tune for YEARS now!!! Thank you!!!

Finally......Thighs High and Funkin for Jamaica!

So glad Itunes added this song. Have loved it for years. Used to party to it in Jamaica, Queens back in the day. Only can hear it on Sirius radio nowadays. Now I have it on my Ipod!!
