It was a sad day when they announced that " Bass Sensei Louis Johnson had passed away, it totally broke my heart "!! R.I.Heaven

[@Markknott29]

I notice there are some people who don’t like this music. All I can say is that I feel sorry that you cannot recognise amazing musicians and music when you hear it. I would be proud and honoured to play just one track with these incredible people. The Brothers Johnson will always be the coolest guys on the planet. R.I.P. Louis everyone loved you Man x

George & Louis weren't connecting well with the audience there in Oakland that day. I wasn't there. I would have been all up in there. It was disappointing to see their lack of connection, but the music has nothing to do with it.

I'm extremely lucky to have met both George and Louis and their families in the late 70's while I was in college. They sat down and ate lunch with me in a mall. They both were very nice to me. What an experience! I was very sad to hear of Louis's passing.

My very first concert when I was 15; Brothers Johnson opened for Chaka Khan and Rufus. Damn what an indoctrination to live shows. Over 100 live shows later and I still remember that one! Louis played the hell out if that Bass! My older brother and I met Chaka after the show right before she got in her limo. Friendly and fine as you know what! Yeah, I remember my first! Lol

[@kkdeveauxgue2592]

Manni liked that show,black people today have no appreciation for this music today that's we why don't have the musicians today to carry on what we started in the 70$ we were peaking then b.s. rap music killed it all

Also from the UK and have loved them since back in the day. I have fond memories of persuading our school music teacher to take a road trip to what we described as a jazz concert. In fact it was Steve Hillage and the supporting act was the BJ! My cunning plan worked perfectly but the teacher was pissed, although ultimately he enjoyed the gig and I am fortunate to have those memories to this day. Can't beat the fonk!
