Womack & Womack - MPB (Missin' Persons Bureau)(Frankie Knuckles Paradise Ballroom Mix)

Remixed by Frankie Knuckles

[@thomasbrown3356]

Some of Frankie's best sets were downtempo, especially in the 80s in Chicago. We used to pass around his mixtapes like they were made of gold.

[@PrettyAight]

Found this like 8 years ago and I'm still so obsessed with this song.

[@tysonb3568]

Its sweet and heartbreaking…..and it takes it time….

[@simphiwemabaso4727]

I was born in 1996. Womack & Womack are keep me going till today...

[@ZEDROLAND]

right
...

[@maryannestewart2384]

Happy birthday Frankie gone but never forgotten RIP xx

[@svegliazoe4736]

This is absolutely wonderful

[@TheNickyLondon]

Frankie played this at Sound Factory back in the 90s. Amazing Track>

[@howspicy3161]

Pure class. An elite remix.

[@TerraFirmaFactoids]

this song is an onion with so many layers

[@lesleyhill4818]

My friend from Holland just shared this with me to Scotland. Love it!

"MPB (Missin' Persons Bureau)"
Why can't I talk to her?
They tell me she's not around
Tried a message to her
They tell me she's not in town
She would not check out this way
Oh, it's been seven lonely daysThis morning I jumped straight up
And called Missing Persons Bureau
I lost my love
Missing Persons Bureau
I lost my loveRumours going round this town
She's out running round
Been seen with my very best friend
I can't believe it's him
I think she's been kidnapped and held back
By some crazy maniacThis morning I jumped straight up
And called Missing Persons Bureau
I lost my love
Missing Persons Bureau
I lost my love

[@shopingst]

in all seriousness - few persons can even dare to touch womack&womack song....here we have an example how should be done.....nicely

[@shopingst]

Probably the best remix i've ever heard.

[@PelleDepunkt]

[@michaelwhaley73]

@@PelleDepunkt interesting cover version but I think Phil's point still stands.

[@howspicy3161]

I agree. There are many greats, but this one…

[@indiabeatyt]

great!

[@bencolemanart]

The Boy's Own Recordings crew in the UK were obviously very influenced by these kinds of tracks: this sounds like a smooth soulful take on an early 90s Weatherall mix!

[@alainvincent1309]

Heat.

[@pilierdj]

incredible

[@peppersleeves7632]

pilier yeeees sir

[@BKJ-88]

So good.

[@jamesnelson5704]

RIP Frankie

[@LeslieDugger]

Have the original record and repress. It’s so damn good!

[@RolandBossio]

DAMNNNNN BOYYYY

[@brawdmusic1477]

This one has been top of the record want list for so long.. reissue definitely overdue!
Does any one know if a WAV is available to purchase anywhere? temptation to have a dub cut is definitely growing..

[@danoliver8804]

Juno download

[@chrivaldeh]

Bandcamp

[@mattsainsbury1842]

Everytime I play this out, people ask what it is

[@lilianebeeckman2901]

Fix it and mix it .... like this ....

[@DJTomOke]

I just got a repress of this, the clanging guitar strums near the beginning are not nearly as loud as they are in this video. Is that just due to the quality difference? Weird

[@thepaddymix8514]

where can I get this? don't really wan't to pay £70 on discogs

[@hthorne4364]

Sound's like he's singing "There's a possibility, I lost my love"

[@RanzoMoney]

Bruv, I literally thought the same thing...

[@noorafarah1103]

He’s saying “I jumped straight up, and called, missing persons bureau, I’ve lost my love”

[@originaldeftom]

Some of the piano bass keys are the very same as his remix for "Ain't Nobody". I am not mentioning this to criticise, just for the sheer fact that I am able to recognize this, lol. I adore this man's work (and Bobby Womack's of course)

[@crackdaddy8k]

+Thomas Farmer I love how you are trying to sound knowledgeable, but completely clueless to the fact that this has nothing to do with bobby womack.
Womack & Womack consists of Cecil and Linda Womack

[@skfj67]

Thomas Farmer unknown to the greater public is a lot of session musicians travel in the same circles.

[@lebochakale7644]

Cecil Womack not Bobby.

[@romancernjak]

was thinking the exact same thing. about the bass parts. and done in the same year!

[@maryannestewart2384]

It sounds amazing thanks to Frankie! 😘

[@ryugabriel]

(ToT)❤❤

[@BLUEMONDAYSTV123]

somebody please repress this!!

[@kevinknestrick1295]

just repressed.

(Music Intro)
Mmmm Hmmm
(Music)
Why can't I talk to her?
They tell me she's not around
Try a message to her
They tell me she's not in town
She would not check out this way
Mmm, it's been seven lonely days
This morning I jumped straight up and called
Missin' Persons Bureau
I lost my love
Missin' Persons Bureau
I lost my love
(Music)
Baby - Baby
Rumors all around town
She's out running around
Been seen with my best friend
I can't believe it's him
I think she's been kidnapped and held back by some crazy maniac
This morning I jumped straight up and called
Missin' Persons Bureau
I lost my love
Missin' Persons Bureau
I lost my love
(Music)
Baby - Baby
This morning I jumped straight up and called
Missin' Persons Bureau
I lost my love
Missin' Persons Bureau
I lost my love
Missin' Persons Bureau
I lost my love
Missin' Persons Bureau
I lost my love
Missin' Persons Bureau
I lost my love
(Music)
Baby - Baby
(Music)
Missin' Persons Bureau
I lost my love
Missin' Persons Bureau
I lost my love
Missin' Persons Bureau
I lost my love

[@lovesavesthedaylovesavesth5498]

i thought this version was only on the promo copy

[@80smusicremixes]

:)

[@GironiMarco]

Sup !

[@elliecox3050]

what specific genre of music is this classed as?

[@mackjuan2232]

Ellie Cox in Memphis we categorise Willie Hutch,David Ruffin,Lamont Dozier,Womack&Womack,Bobby Womack and others like those as"pimp'n" but i think some people call it"northern soul"

[@starofcctv94]

Definitely not Northern Soul, Northern Soul is the name in Britain given to up-tempo motown/soul music from the late sixties to early seventies because people from northern towns would turn up at record shops in London asking for all these incredibly obscure records and then dance to them all night hopped up on speed.

[@niitsukid]

Rare groove

[@crampons2431]

Quality.

[@bfdoo]

🍌do!!!you!!!

[@ucfcstud]

anybody know where I can get a digital purchase?

[@pilkimusic]

tmontyb10011 any chance I could grab a copy please?

[@guusvanbentum5257]

tmontyb10011 Would love a copy! What quality is the file you have?

[@rsshapland6553]

+tmontyb10011 I know this was a while ago, but could I grab a copy please?

[@clement7626]

+tmontyb10011 could i please get a copy? [e-mail], thank you so much!

[@mschneiderg]

If it's just a rip from the TH-cam video, you should do it yourselves. Use something like offliberty.com to rip the file.
