In a surprising twist, the catchy song "I Found Lovin'" by the Fatback Band, which first hit the airwaves in 1983, never made it onto the U.S. R&B charts. Co-written by bassist Johnny Flippin and new singer Michael Walker, who also sang lead vocals, the track was part of the album *With Love* and quickly gained popularity.

The song initially made waves in the UK, reaching number 49 on the Singles Charts in 1984. It was re-recorded and released again in 1986, climbing to number 55 in the UK. However, the song's biggest success came in January 1987, when the original version rocketed to number 7 on the charts.

Despite its catchy beat and the buzz on American Urban contemporary radio stations, "I Found Lovin'" strangely did not make an appearance on the U.S. R&B singles chart during any of its releases. This missed opportunity is puzzling for fans and music lovers alike.

The song was also featured early in the 2002 film *Brown Sugar*, though it was not included in the official soundtrack, further highlighting its unique status. With its infectious rhythm and soulful vibe, "I Found Lovin'" truly deserves a place among the greats of R&B, and its absence from the charts remains a mystery.
