Father's Children, a band whose origins can be traced back to the later part of the 1960s, started as a distinctive and spirited collective known for their deep-rooted influence in the soul and funk genres. Emerging from Washington, D.C., the group originally formed under the name "The Dreams," later evolving both musically and spiritually to become Father's Children by the early 1970s. Their music, deeply embedded with messages of peace, love, and unity, reflected the transformative era they hailed from, capturing the essence of their communal lifestyle and the broader societal shifts of the time.
Over the years, Father's Children recorded a diverse discography that showcases a blend of raw funk, soulful harmonies, and elements of psychedelia. Their notable release, "Who's Gonna Save The World," initially recorded in the early '70s but not widely available until its official release decades later, became a seminal work that highlighted their profound musicianship and philosophical depth. This album, alongside other releases such as "Sky’s The Limit" and the comprehensive "Father's Children (Extended Edition)," provides a comprehensive look at a band that, despite facing numerous challenges, remained dedicated to their artistry and message. Father's Children's journey from a local act to gaining recognition as unsung heroes of their genre exemplifies their enduring legacy in the pantheon of funk and soul music.
