I Just Got to Know

The Brockingtons’ sole LP, cut for Today Records and led by Julius Brockington with his wife, was issued in the label’s early-1970s R&B run; the record was produced by Terry Philips and Maurice Irby Jr. By release, it sat in Today Records’ soul catalog as a deep-cut album track rather than a chart single, and it later drew attention from collectors and DJs as part of the Brockingtons’ cult LP. It has also appeared in radio playlists and on soul-focused reissue listings, underscoring its enduring appeal among crate-diggers. The track has continued to circulate through specialist DJ sets and has been sampled by later artists, including Rasmentalism and Tha God Fahim, helping keep it alive beyond its original album context. Its reputation now rests on cult reissue value and hip-hop-era rediscovery.
