I Found Lovin'

"I Found Lovin'" is a song first released by the Fatback Band in 1983 by Master Mix Records. Co-written by long-time Fatback Band bassist Johnny Flippin and then-new singer/keyboardist Michael Walker (the latter of whom performed lead vocals on the track), "I Found Lovin'" was included on the group's album With Love.

The song reached number 49 on the UK Singles Charts in 1984. The song was re-recorded and released by Important Records in August 1986, upon which it reached number 55 in the UK. In January 1987, the original release of the song was re-released, which peaked at number 7 in the charts.^[1]

While the song surprisingly did not have a showing on the U.S. R&B singles chart in any of its three releases, it did (and still does) receive stateside airplay on Urban Contemporary stations. It was also featured near the beginning of the 2002 film Brown Sugar, although it does not appear on the soundtrack.
