The Funkadoobian says: Packaging

Third World’s Now That We Found Love is a landmark reggae-funk crossover record that helped bring Jamaican music into mainstream disco and pop contexts.

Originally written by The O'Jays, Third World reimagined it with a reggae groove that blends:

steady offbeat guitar skank,
warm, rolling bass,
disco-influenced percussion,
and soulful vocal harmonies.

The result is a hybrid sound that sits between reggae, funk, and late-70s disco — a template that would later influence dancehall-pop fusion and global club music.

Its accessibility made it a crossover hit, and it remains one of the clearest examples of reggae adapting successfully to international pop markets without losing its rhythmic identity.
