I saw these guys at the Street Coner Harmony show at the DAR Constitution Hall in Washington DC about 3 years ago and they took the show. Al Johnson still sound great.
Saw them at the Apollo back in the day they would come on stage and all you would see is white iridescent gloves. The stage would be completely dark. They would tear the place down One of the best groups of that time you won't see any more like this again

You tube the original UNIFICS video!!!
Saw Gregory Cook at the 6th Annual Classic R&B Weekend. He looked outstanding and still had the ladies going crazy. What a great guy he is with a wonderful spirit. I love the UNIFICS!!!!! For this reason The Unifics will be approached to be part of the 7th Annual Classic R&B Weekend in November 2013. Last time I saw them in Philadelphia at a moon Man affair they WERE OUTSTANDING receiving multiple standing ovations because the group is tight and Al Johnson is a genius!!!
This is by far one of the best groups out there. I have used them and really hope to book them again soon. What a shame we do not get to see some of the true GENIUS GROUPS as much as those other types. I really will push to get them involved very soon. Just sorry I have not used them more. Guys keep up the great singing (Charlie and Al are off the hook). and the steps are just as sharp as years ago.
Wow they sound good after all these years
WASHINGTON DC AT IT'S FINEST THIS GROUP STILL SHOWS GREATNESS THEY WILL ALWAYS BE IN THE BUILDING PEACE FAMILY
I know one of these awesome men has passed on. But, if they’re still performing- I’d love to see them. Los Angeles or Atlanta. 🎶 -Duke 🇺🇸🇿🇦
Love this jam!!!!!
Great music and a show to boot. the back-ups were super. well reheresed
R.I.P. Al Johnson
They still move and sound good,Great job.
Damn, they sound just like they did back in the day! Love this song!! 🔥❤️😊!
Oh yes!!! Don’t know if these cats are the original group members But they sound just like the 45rpm that I was given by a radio host many many years ago. One of the best songs spinning at that time.

For sure Al Johnson (lead singer) and Greg Cook are from the original Unifics, and likely the other two as well but I can’t be sure. Sadly, Al Johnson passed about 10 years ago.
Al I want to say God Bless you and the Unifics. Thanks for having The Camaros Band play behind you guys in Bethesda. So much talent in the D.C. area. The 60's were a hellava decade. From Doc and the rest of the Camaros
The Unifics have gotten better with time. I sat and watched all of your videos today to reminisce your great talent. Absolutely phenomenal! Blessings, Avis Harrell
I remember you back in the day and pay d attention to the words of your song it was special but the beginning of my end did a number on everybody thank you for be beautiful artists
Marvelous song!I from Brazil
Wow ! They still sound the same. The lead singer that song was doing his thing ! Nice.
this makes me feel young again--miracle. i remember these guys from howard from their first configuration--al, marvin, t-font-and michele. remember their rehearsals in cook hall--i even remember jubal. marvin used to call me and my (then girl) the king and queen. thanks to whomever posted this--sweet memories keep you young and make growing old a priviledge
I was very young and didn't understand this song at the time, but brotha if you live long enuf this song makes a lot of sense.
This is so sweet! The Mighty Unifics!
RIP AL Johnson...Never forgotten!!
I keep commenting because of the great memories.
Amazing, beautiful, even in the golden years. Just goes to show true talent doesn´t disappear with age...Thanks for the video.
Ooooh...I just Love listening to Classic Soul from Pro's like this~
I will always remember seeing them at the Uptown in Philly and the gloves

Never gets old. Such professionalism, precision, and showmanship!

Just met lead-singer Al Johnson's widow this past week. Se was telling me how her husband was an entertainer but didn't tell me who he was until I asked because she thought I was too young to have heard of the Unifics. She was shocked when she found out I knew of them. Nice lady too. A real pleasure to talk to.

Johnson and Fauntleroy put this version of the group back together in 2004. Worthington lef tearly in the 70s and Cook when the group split up. The "classic" and longest-lasting version of the group included: Johnson; Fauntleroy; Greg Cook; and Marvin Brown.

Between 1968 and 1969 the group had four Top 100 R&B hits and three Hot Top 100 records; their biggest hit was "Court of Love", it peaked at #3 on the Billboard R&B Singles chart and #25 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart... May Mr. Johnson R.I.P.
I love this song they don't make music like this no more.
Bad Brothers! The Choreography is spell binding!
Nice slow drag music, remember slow dragging?
I dig the dance steps the most.
I saw them so long ago and the Temptations had nothing on this group. They worked in the dark with those gloves glowing and it was showmanshipé

I could not find the song “Court of Love” on Amazon Prime or iTunes! What’s up with that-such a great song that brings it home to anyone kicked to the curb in a bad relationship!
Wow, they are still going strong! What a performance!!
Moves are tight and singing in tune. You can't find this anymore.
Thank you, I was just informed of his passing.. I am not in contact with Greg at the moment. Still searching. He is still in the DC area.
