Al Johnson-A Gift From Edie2k2

[Edie Antoinette]

This was an LP that I had and loved..in fact I loved Norman Connors. He was like Quincy Jones with finding and producing talent. Al Johnson is one such talent.
Alfred Orlando Johnson is an American R&B singer and producer.
Johnson attended Howard University in Washington, D.C., and while there joined the soul group The Unifics. The Unifics scored three hits on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1968 and 1969 before breaking up in 1970.

In 1980, Johnson released a solo album produced by Norman Connors, entitled Back for More, on Columbia Records. It peaked at #48 on the U.S. Black Albums chart.
The lead single from the album was "I'm Back for More", a duet with Jean Carn. "I'm Back For More" hit #26 on the U.S. R&B chart, and the follow-up, "I've Got My Second Wind", hit #58, both in 1980.

The Unifics

A late-'60s and early-'70s soul group, the Unifics formed at Washington, D.C.'s Howard University. Their lead singer was Al Johnson, with tenors Michel Ward and Grek Cook and baritone Harold Washington. Their biggest hit was 1968's "Court of Love," which mixed narrative, mock courtroom proceedings, and Johnson's passionate vocals. It peaked at number three and also made it to number 25 on the pop charts. A second single, "The Beginning of My End," also cracked the R&B Top Ten at number nine. They enjoyed two other mild hits in 1969, "It's a Groovy World" and "Toshisumasu," but were never again major players in the soul arena. Ward and Washington left in 1970, and were replaced by Marvin Brown and Tom Fauntleroy. The Unifics moved from Kapp to the Fountain label in 1971, making a few more records before disbanding. Johnson enjoyed some success as a lead singer and producer in the late '70s, '80s, and '90s.
