  • Father's Children is an American funk band, that was formed in the late 1960s and rose to fame in the mid-to late 1970s. The group was initially formed as a doo-wop trio in Adams Morgan, Washington, D.C. under the name The Dreams, but evolved into a funk and soul band. In 1973 they were set to release their debut album Who's Gonna Save the World, but their management company folded and the band was unable to find a record label. In 1979, they released their self-titled debut album under the record label Mercury Records. The album was produced by Wayne Henderson, formerly of The Crusaders, and co-produced by Augie Johnson of the group Side Effect. The group spent three months in Los Angeles recording at Ocean Way Studios, with Henderson adding a host of other musicians to the recording, such as keyboardists Bobby Lyle and Dean Gant. The production added a slicker horn driven sound, but took away from the band's trademark raw East Coast feel. The album did not take off as planned due to lack of effort and promotion by their label. Who's Gonna Save the World was finally released by archive music label The Numero Group in 2011. The group received attention once again when their song "Dirt and Grime" was used by Kanye West as a sample for the track "Facts" from his 2016 studio album The Life of Pablo. In 2019, Smoke DZA and Curren$y sampled "I Really, Really Love You" on their song "Cinderella Story". (en)
  • Father's Children – amerykańska grupa muzyczna tworząca w stylu funk, soul oraz disco, której początki sięgają wczesnych lat 70. XX wieku. Początkowo grupa funkcjonowała jako trio pod nazwą The Dream i tworzyła w stylu doo wop. W 1973 roku zespół miał wydać swój debiutancki album zatytułowany Who's Gonna Save the World jednak jego impresariat zbankrutował i artyści nie mogli znaleźć innego wydawcy. W 1979 roku, nakładem wytwórni Mercury Records, ukazał się debiutancki album zespołu zatytułowany po prostu Father's Children. Po wydaniu płyty grupa praktycznie zawiesiła działalność. Who's Gonna Save the World został ostatecznie wydane w 2011 roku jako drugi album zespołu i zawiera wszystkie oryginalne utwory, które miały znaleźć się na płycie w 1973 roku. Dużą falę popularności grupie przyniósł fakt, że w 2016 roku Kanye West użył fragmentu piosenki „Dirt and Grime” w utworze „FACTS”, który znalazł się na albumie The Life of Pablo. (pl)
