I wish musicians made music like this in current times! 😢

[@antonioscolotti8558]

These are the guys I went to see at my very first concert. I'll never forget it!

[@rustybear5125]

'I'll be good to you" is one of my all time favorite songs.

[@62beaver]

they are legendary and will never be forgotten coming from a metal and punk head my god just listen to that bass

[@joeliska313]

If I remember correctly, Bootsy Collins considered Louis Johnson a challenge. I never realized Louis was THIS bassist! R.I.P. Sir. You are, and forever shall remain, a legend and inspiration.

Omg!! I discovered this group back in 1974! Bought the album at Pay n Save Drug Store! Took a crazy chance!! Look at where they went! I’d never heard of them before! ❤️👍🏻🙏🏻🥰

They went to the shaw. They went to crenshaw high school with my aunt and uncle 68 to 72 and start touring after that .❤ they were a band even in school 🚸

One of the best ever to sling a bass axe!

[@LooseBooty-ik5cs]

Thunder Thumbs and Lightnin' Licks! Rest in Paradise, Louis Johnson....

[@mkehammond7277]

There wasn’t much air play of their music on the AM radio stations in my area. That I remember. I do remember Strawberry Letter 23 being played, but not very much. Even “Stomp” wasn’t played too much. When I heard the song. I just had to get up and dance.🕺🏻🕺🏻

[@tonimaric4867]

Thank-u for this they are so fly 🎉 ❤

[@Talentunmuted174]

You’re Welcome

This song is summer☀️

[@Talentunmuted174]

Which song is that?

[@johndiggs1342]

Why have we forgotten this great band of brothers?! They had the best funk and r&b sound of the 1970's. These guys were the best contributors of our current music sounds. Please remember them and give them respect.

[@haylotroutman5871]

I appreciate this upload, 70s baby here. I love these guys. Always have. My very favorite Brothers Johnson song is the underrated…I Want You. It was on the winners album. Lightnin Licks really shows out with Thunder Thumbs on that one. George’s guitar solo is fierce on that song.

[@kevinmorgan263]

I had they 1st 3 albums. Look out, rt on time and blam❤

[@shirleyjones8953]

[@francisl3836]

Wow love this song

[@colinsmith8436]

Hey guys just to add a few comments of recognition of these guys talents..specially Louis..🫶wow what a bassist!! I saw them here in the UK in 79 and when he did his 5minute solo on stage he blew the house out..😱I felt his bass go thru my whole body..AMAAAZIN! That also may have been he played for MJ on OFF THE WALL..then later the iconic bass steps on BILLIE JEAN..yes he was that guy!! Extremely talented guy that had his struggles and found himself again recording an album called PASSAGE that he made with his Mrs n cuz Alex Weir..check it out..Have U heard the word has him at his best plus other trax.. He'll ALWAYS be up there for me as No1 along with Marcus just behind..but remembering his amazing technique n sound..🤗🙏RIP LOUIS..

[@Scotty2-rescue]

[@shundajiles9739]

Love the song.❤❤❤❤

[@laryanryan9170]

No mention of the Brothers Johnson being introduced on the Quincy Jones album "The Dude" before they released their first album. That's when I started following them.

[@anthonythompson551]

The Brothers Johnson were introduced on Quincy Jones’s “Mellow Madness” album 1975 before their debut release “Look Out for #1” 1976….not “The Dude” which wasn’t released until 1981.
